We often hear this lament from oldtimers that things were simpler in their days and they have become complicated now a days. As a fresh entrant into the club of oldtimers, I tend to agree. Things were really simple in the old days. And they were easy to remember as well if you were a student who was required to remember these facts.
Take some examples from the past(my days of 1960s) and compare them with the present situation (2023)
| Question asked | Reply in 1960s | Reply in 2023 |
|---|---|---|
| Name of all Presidents of India | Dr Rajendra Prasad, S Radhakrishnan, Zakir Hussain | Too many to recall and name |
| Name of all Prime Ministers of India | Jawaharlal Nehru, Lal Bahadur Shashtri, Indira Gandhi | Too many to recall and name |
| How many cricketers have scored over 8000 test runs | Only one, Garfield Sobers | Too many to recall and name |
| How many cricketers have taken over 300 test wickets | Only one, Freddie Trueman | Too many to recall and name |
| How many Indian cricketers have scored over 3000 test runs | Only three, Polly Umrigar, Vijay Manjrekar, Chandu Borde | Too many to recall and name |
| What are the various car models manufactured in India | Ambassador, Premier Padmini | Too many to recall and name |
| Days that are celebrated | New Year, Republic Day, Independence day, Children’s day, Labour day | Too many to recall and name |
It is the answer to the last question that has led to this writeup. This morning Avinash Scrapwala informed me that today (7 May) is Laughter day. Now what is this laughter day ? And who decides these days ? Every day now a days has some vague day or the other. There are some days that celebrate more than one topic, often vague and unheard ones. There are 365 days but there many be more number of “Day” to celebrate. It is an overload of “days” now a days. No one can remember them, and no one can “celebrate” them all.
Who decided that today is Laughter day ? Does he mean that we need not laugh on other days, or did he think that laughter has become so rare that a day needed to be dedicated for it ? I do not think that alarming situation has arrived as yet.
My own view is that all these days are meant to create business for say greeting card makers. But now a days even greeting card makers cannot keep up with these days.
We also have world music day. This one day is for others. We in this blog have our music day every day.
My take on all these days is that they are for lazy people. What is the need to have say Music day. We do not have this need. Every day is music day for us. Why should we have Women’s day. Every day should be a Women’s day and well as Men’s day. Also Children’s day.
Coming to Laughter day, I think this day too is unnecessary. At least for us music lovers. Regulars of this blog many of them also connected through whatsapp, share jokes in the group every day. So we are having our laughter day daily.
Nevertheless, someone has decided to have a world laughter day today on 7 May. By the way, is this fellow the same one who came up with the idea of Happiness Index ? Let him come up with a laughter Index as well. I can predict that European countries will top the ranking. India will be ranked behind Pakistan and Bangladesh and this ranking will be used by Western Media to pooh pooh India achievements in various sectors.
But that is in the future. So far we only have a world Laughter day today. So we have to celebrate it.
Looking at the right side of the blog, I notice that there are 88 songs under the category of “Comedy” and another 73 under “comedy songs”. Then there are 319 songs under the category of “lighthearted” songs. There may be more but they have not been categorised under these heads. So this suggests that we have about 450 songs out of 17000 plus songs as comedy song. This suggesdts that 2.5 % of the songs represented in the blog are comedy songs.
If we have world sadness day or world melancholic day, we in the blog will be right up there with the best sad and / or melancholic people there. But they someone will create a world melancholy index and prove that Indians are way down that list too. 🙂
When we think of laughter, one thinks of Kishore Kumar immediately. Quite a few of his comedy songs are already represented in the blog. To celebrate the Laughter day, here is a less known of his comedy song. This song is from “Phagun”(1973).
“Phagun”(1973) was directed by Rajinder Singh Bedi for ‘Dachi Films, Bombay’. The movie had Waheeda Rehman, Dharmendra (special appearance), Jaya Bhaduri, Vijay Arora, Om Prakash, Ravi Ghosh, Jagdev Bhambri, K.S. Kriplani, Vimal Joshi, Indu Mehta, Smita, Rajrani, Suman Sinha, Baldev Trehan, Ramlal, Pardesi, Narmada Shankar, V. Gopal, Anand (Mamaji), Beri and others in it.
“Phagun”(1973) had six songs in it. Four songs have been covered in the past. Here is this song, the fifth from the movie to appear in the blog. The song is sung by Kishore Kumar, Pankaj Mitra, Sunil Kumar and R.S. Bedi. Majrooh Sultanpuri is the lyricist. Music is composed by S D Burman.
It appears that only audio of the song is available. The movie itself came during the days when Rajesh Khanna ruled the roost and movies with other heroes did not find much favour with the audience. This movie was one of the lesser patronised movies of its time. That explains why this song, despite having the voice of Kishore Kumar in it failed to get popular. Personally I am listening to this for the first time. The song would have become popular had the movie done better at the box office.
Song-Laali mere laal ki (Phaagun)(1973) Singers-Kishore Kumar, Pankaj Mitra, Sunil Kumar, R.S. Bedi, Lyrics-Majrooh Sultanpuri, MD-S D Burman

Nice post Atul ji. Yes, we don’t know who invented celebrating of so many other days other than those specified by UN. But, then even the list there must be decided by Western countries or the changing global scenario, climate and other things would have forced to devise these so many ‘days’.
As rightly said we celebrate so many days daily and they are not for specific days only.
Anyway this song finally has its day to reach to your listening 🙂
Thanks and regards,
