The story of this song is explained in the intro. It literally happened that way. I was walking through the park, on my way to work, on a very cold winter’s day during the month of Poh, which is normally mid-December to mid-January. It was frosty on the grass, although the path seemed to glisten a little less. Probably from all of the people walking along it to get to and from places.
I could see my breath floating up in front of my face like a little cloud. Yet the sun was out and shining as hard as it could. Whenever it caught my face I could feel a touch of warmth in the otherwise cold environment.
I decided to write a song about how a person can be like the winter sun or po di dhup and heat you when it’s cold outside. I had the hook ready by the time I made it to the other side of the park. So in about 7 minutes.
And yes. I’ve misspelled the month of Poh in my song title. It should be Poh Di Dhup. It’s too late to change that now. Here’s the lyric video featuring me.
By the way it’s from the lunar Nanakshahi calendar, which is in Punjabi. The Hindi version of the same month is Pausha. You can see the connection right?
