Hello Hive!
I've been a little busy with a few projects but have finally found time to share some that have come to fruition.
Past few months we have all been in lockdown and one particular thingy that funnily people were commenting about it wanting haircuts! So I was chuckling when I was commissioned for this prooject for a Salon chain!
It was a challenging experience, working out the perfect message to represent the relationship of Enrich Salon with their customers and their commitment to safety during these times. I went through 5 versions of the peom before the final one was approved.
Thankfully enough, my piano composiong behind the poetry narration was approved in one shot 😁
The poem is artfully narrated by my friend Mehak Mirza Prabhu, who is a fantastic sotry teller and VO artist ✨
Here is the final Ad film:

Here are the lyrics in Hindi:
Behissab badhte baalon se Din hai lagte saalon se Aayine se door karte Badalte inn halaaton se Saamna karne ki, Main ko Hum banane ki Zimmedaari hamaari hai
Har baar hum jab milte hai Aapko thoda aur jaante hai Aaj ye kahaaniya, ye nuske, ye chutkule Hamaari dosti ko khoob pehchaante hai
Rishta ye hai gehra hamara Sehat par hai pehra hamara Hifazat khud ki aur aapki karna Maksad yahi sunehra hamara
Phir aap jab daftar jaayein, Phir jab koi tyohaar manaye Aayine ko dekhte hi Chehre par jo noor aajaye Usse banaye rakhne ki Zimmedaari hamaari hai
Zarurat aapki humne pehchaani Barteinge hum har saavdhani Hai bharosa poora humein Hamari tarah, aapne bhi haar nahi maani
Yakeen hai humein
Jab hogi phir mulakaat
Aap milenge humein
Ussi bharose aur vishwaas ke saath
Aapke sir ki shaan ko Diwali ya Ramzaan ko Chehre chaahe chipe hamare Par aankhon se iss muskaan ko Phir khilaane ki Main ko Hum banane ki Zimmedaari hamaari hai
Translation (ofcourse it will be more poetic in Hinid, but here goes 🙈) :
With the hair growing unaccountably The days feel like years These changing times That are turning us away from our reflections To face them, To turn the Me to We Is out responsibility
Everytime that we meet We know you a little more Now these stories, these little jokes and chats that we share Know our frienship really well
This relationship of ours runs deep We will be guarding your health Your and our safety Is our shining goal
When you go to office again When you celebrate abother festival We have the responsibility to maintain that shine That comes on your face when you look at the mirror
We understand your requirements And we will take all the safety measures We are sure that like us, Even you haven't given up
We are sure That when we meet again You will meet us with the same Trust and confidence
It is our responsibility to maintain The pride of your head On Diwali or Ramzan Thought our faces are covered, It is our responsibility to bring out the smile Through your eyes.
Let me know what you think about the poem and the music. Do let me know in the comments if you understood the idea :)
