Today (23 january 2019) is the birth anniversary of Subhash Chandra Bose, one of the most admired freedom fighters of India.

One year ago, I had written a detailed writeup about his escape from his house arrest. That writeup was accompanied by the song Jodi tor daak..tanha raahi apni raah chalta jaayegaa.

Writing that article was quite a emotional roller coaster ride for me, because I tried to imagine all the meticulous planning of that escape, including the successful execution of the plan.

In the process, I watched snippets of the movie “Bose The forgotten Hero”(2004) which contains this song.

Today’s song is from a Mythological film Dev Kanya-46. The film was made by Vishnu Cinetone and was directed by its owner Dhirubhai Desai. Though there were 3 Lyricists, HFGK does not credit any song to any Lyricist. The melodious songs were composed by my favourite-or one of the favourites- MD Shyam Sundar (Gabba).

When I was a child, I was very fond of seeing Religious and Mythological movies. This was not because I was very religious minded, but because I liked the Trick scenes in these films. When I grew a little older, I was appointed the House Escort to a group of old relatives and women of the family whenever they wanted to see a movie- which was reasonably frequent. I would happily lead them as I too could see the film.

Today is the 93rd birth anniversary of O P Nayyar (16 january 1926- 28 january 2007).

According to my calculations, O P Nayyar worked in 73 movies and he composed 569 songs in these movies.

This blog has 472 songs from these movies. So, all 73 Hindi movies where O P Nayyar composed music are represented in the blog. 49 of these movies are already YIPPEED. 24 more of movies with O P Nayyar music are yet to be YIPPEED. In addition, one Non movie song composed by O P Nayyar has also been covered in the blog.

So, just under one hundred of O P Nayyar compositions remain to be covered.
