This is my first attempt at reviewing a song, so please bear with me :). I have been glued to the blog off late and am trying hard to catch up with all the posts on the blog. I have, but hardly reached 1/3rd of the way in my journey so far. I am so looking forward to the journey of discovering these gems, thanks to our fellow members.

I have discussed as many as six songs from “Mr and Mrs 55” (1955) and I was under the impression that all songs of the movie had been covered. But I was wrong of course. There are still at least a couple of songs from this movie yet to be discussed.

Regulars of this blog may be wondering why I have discussed only one post today and then nothing ! The reason is, today my wife has all the time to supervise over me and sitting at the computer is proving out to be difficult for me. I somehow managed to post one writeup today when she was not looking. Now it is afternoon and she has gone out for her favourite pastime, viz shopping. I refuse to have anything to do with shopping so I have dropped her (and the daughter) to a shopping complex and come back. Assuming that they will be there for three hours, I need to make the most of these three hours to make up for lost time. 🙂

Beena madhur madhur kachhu bol

It is a bit of a surprise for me that one of the songs which I had heard from my mother in my childhood was intact in my memory even though I had no occasion to listen to on the radio or watch on the TV thereafter. This is more so when I was engulfed on those days by the popular songs of the early 50s. As I came to know much later, this song was the most popular one attaining the tag of the highest sales of gramophone records for HMV in 1943. The song was ‘beena madhur madhur kachhubol’ from the film RAM RAJYA (1943). I was not aware of details of the song until I watched the video clip of the song for first time on YT few months back. Before that, I was under the impression that it was a non-filmy classical song.

Today is 23rd March, a day that is remembered as the day of martyrdom of the three young and brave sons of this earth, Bhagat Singh, Sukh Dev and Raj Guru. In 1931, the supreme sacrifice that these young men in their twenties chose to make for the cause of our nation, became an inspiration for the subsequent generations – a ideal that still arouses the patriotic fervor.
