A lovely duet that has so far not made it to this blog. Two songs from the film ‘Ghar Ghar Ki Baat’ (1959) are already posted here. This here is the third song from this film. A wonderful duet of two hearts in love expressing desires to go together to destinations of happiness and love. The singing voices are of Manna Dey and Lata Mangeshkar. A gem of a song that is a wonderful memory from the days of listening to the radio.

‘Badaa Aadmi’ from 1961 is a film name, when mentioned, would mostly elicit a reaction, “. . .which one did you say?”. For it is a name that is not well remembered. Fans of Sheikh Mukhtar would remember this film though, but then not many other folks.

Autobiography(AB) is a type of literature which has a limited, selective and captive readership. Only those who are connected with the writer, personally or professionally will be interested in reading it. It can not have a widespread readership. A Doctor’s AB may be read by members of his profession or by those who are connected personally with him. Others who are unconnected may not even buy that book.
