If some of the children’s songs in Hindi films are of any indication, we get an impression that children of our country grow up quite early in terms of their maturity and actions. Some of such songs are addressed to the parents, elders and even to God. Of course, this is but one of the cinematic liberties which those associated with making films is entitled to. However, I now find that most of the children in the internet age are indeed far ahead in terms of maturity and thinking than the children of our younger days. So kudos to our Hindi film fraternity for being ahead of time in this regard!

Just saw the response from Peevesie’s Mom for the song Ital ke ghal mein teetal) from “Bahuraani” (1963) . And I remembered, the film Jyoti (1981) is almost a frame to frame remake of the film Bahurani (1963), with Jeetendra playing the role played by Guru Dutt, Hema Malini that of Mala Sinha, Vijendra Ghatge that of Feroze Khan, Shashikala that of Lalita Pawar, Ashok Kumar that of Nazir Hussain, and Deven Verma that of Mukri.

People who love music, never grow up – that is my theory. The logic goes like this. A true music lover will never lose the capacity to be thrilled at hearing a new song, a new melody that is fun or poignant, and touches the heart. If a person does not have this characteristic, then it is difficult for that person to appreciate music. Now, being thrilled at something new is a hallmark characteristic of a child. Hence, people who have this capacity and love music, always have a child’s heart and mind within, and hence they never grow up. QED. 🙂

This post is in response to a comment and a farmaish posted by Lalitha ji more than two years ago on 6th January, 2009 (details further down).
Children’s Day is variously celebrated in different parts of the world, on different days. In India, it is celebrated on this day (14th November) every year. (This day also is the birth anniversary of the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru.) There are other dates on which International Children’s Day (1st June) and Universal Children’s Day (20th November) are celebrated. 20th November is the day on which the Declaration of the Rights of the Child was adopted by UN General Assembly in 1959.

Yesterday this blog reached 5000 songs. Today is 14th november, which is celebrated as the children’s day in India. The day is over and it is night time, and not a single song has been discussed on this occasion !
No, I have neither run out of steam nor I have forgotten about this day. In fact I ensured that the 5000 th song was discussed one day advance so as to keep 14th november free for children’s songs. It is just that I was neglecting several important tasks which I completed in the day time. Now I have time to discuss songs for today. It may be too late for the real children, but those who are young at heart (which includes lots of readers of this blog), the day is not yet over. So I will try and discuss a few songs on the occasion as long as it is still 14th november in India. so I still have more than four hours at my disposal. 🙂
