There are people who preach us to save for a rainy day. If you talk to me about saving for a rainy day,I will reel off the list of songs picturised on a rainy day to try and prove that rainy days are as much fun as sunny days. If one does not save for a sunny day, then why should one do so for a rainy day ? One should instead enjoy rainy days by getting drenched in the rain instead of hiding indoors. Next thing you know, the same people may ask us to save for a moonlit night saying that nights are for going to bed !

While posting a song of “Sati Savitri” (1964) I had remarked that there are certain value system (Sanskaar) that are difficult for westerners to comprehend.

Chaandi kaa gol gol chandaa

Bollywood movies of the past may have been differentiated on the basis of their budget into A grade, B grade, C grade etc, but there was no such differentiation in the quality of music in all these movies. Even C grade movies used to have outstanding music. But the music of C grade movies suffered mostly because of lack of exposure since records of these songs were hardly made.
