“Heidi” is a world famous children’s novel, written by the Swiss author Johanna Spyri. First published in 1880, it carried a tag line “For children and those who love children’. ‘Heidi’ is one of the most enduring works of children’s literature, being one of the most popular children books in the twentieth century. Even after 130+ years, the story still reads very fresh and has not lost its charm over the decades. My own first introduction to this work was probably at the age of 6 or 7, when I read a Hindi translation of this work, and got to read the English version later.
The story of Heidi, is a wonderful tale about the adventures and experiences of a small child girl. The events in her life transpose her to new and different environments. As a child girl, she loses her parents, and is sent to live with her grandfather in a village in the Swiss Alps. Here she becomes friends with a boy named Peter, and teaches him to read and write. After spending 3 years with her grandfather (a recluse who does not mingle with the rest of the village people), she is taken by her aunt to Frankfurt to provide company to another child girl, Klara, who is confined to a wheelchair. Heidi starts keeping indifferent health, and returns to her grandfather. For Heidi’s sake, her grandfather breaks his habit, and goes to his neighbors and other village people for support in taking care of Heidi. The next summer, Klara, her father and her grandmother, come to stay with Heidi. Peter, who is jealous of the lack of attention due to Klara’s presence, one day throws her wheelchair from the mountain. Without he wheelchair, Klara attempts to walk, and is gradually able to regain use of her legs; as she has also become stronger on the diet of goat milk and mountain air. The story is a lovely account of how Heidi’s simplicity and childlike honesty influences people and how she is able to bring happiness to everyone she comes in touch with.
In 1958, Heidi was adapted for the Hindi screen by the famous director AR Kardar, as the movie titled ‘Do Phool’. The lead pair of child actors in this movie are Baby Naaz and Master Romi. Other main players are Vijaya Chaudhry, Bipin Gupta, Ulhaas, Jeevan, Protima Devi, Rajan Haksar, Ameer Banu, Neelam, Mumtaz Begum etc. The songs for this movie are from the pen of Hasrat Jaipuri, and the music compositions are by Vasant Desai. The singing voices are of the two sisters, Lata and Asha. This song is about two childhood friends, reaffirming their bond of friendship, and making promises never to forget each other. The on screen picturization is on Baby Naaz and Master Romi. Enjoy this fun song of childhood promises.

Thanks for excellent post Atul ji (and gone unnoticed so far, as I see no comments on this)…
It has everything of my interests – Story based on literary works, ‘bachpan ka pyaar’ and most importantly ‘bachpan’, and beautiful and simple lyrics-music- and picturisation with scenic beauty around (nature).
Simply beautiful !!
You called it a ‘fun song’ , but then in ‘childhood days’ the world is altogether a different one !! 🙂
