I am totally overwhelmed with the response to my first write up. I want to thank Atul ji for posting it almost immediately. Thus encouraged I am now ready to do my second post.

Seeing that India has won the cricket world cup 2011, I, like millions of my countryman, am walking on cloud nine at the moment. The hangover will take a while to go away. The fact that the match was played on saturday and the next day was sunday certainly helped a lot. Some hangover is still there even today on monday.

I have discussed as many as five wonderful songs from “Waqt” (1965) in the past and yet this song was not one of them ! It just goes on to prove my point that this movie, in addition to being a multi starrer, was a musical blockbuster too.

I have talked before about the thrill of locating some of the less-known songs of your childhood days on the internet. You probably know just the first couple of lines, you may not even know any details more than this but you last heard the song in your childhood.
