Today (25 july 2013) is the birth anniversary of Sudhir Phadke (25 july 1919- 29 july 2002). While searching for a Sudhir Phadke song to discuss on this occasion, I stumbled upon the movie called “Apradhi” (1949). I recall this movie as a delightful movie because I have seen portions of it while discussing a song from this movie(Apraadhi) in the past.

This article is written by Aparna, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a new contributor to this blog.
Hmm, at last I started writing my first blog. I was thinking of doing this for a long, long time. Ever since I came to know about a very benevolent soul who lets all who want to write, to write on his blog. It is so sweet of him, I used to think. But didn’t do it for various reasons. Most of all, my laziness. Now I have shook off my laziness and am presenting my thoughts ….. Hope Atulites don’t mind it (provided of course Atul finds my writing worthy enough to be published). Published, oh that is a big word to use. My first publication, if and when that happens, I will be flying in air like the girl in the song I am discussing here. Now, please don’t ask me how else one can fly, one can only fly in air. 🙂
