Madan Mohan is often associated with serious ghazal songs sung by Lata. But Madan Mohan has composed all kinds of songs including light hearted and non serious songs sung by several singers. In fact, the Madan Mohan song that climbed the highest in Binaca Geetmala annual charts in his lifetime was not a ghazal by Lata but a mela song by Asha Bhonsle. It was the hugely popular Jhumka gira re Bareli ke bazaar me from “Mera Saayaa” (1966).

In my bid to clear the backlog of old farmaishes, here is a song whose farmaish was given by Raja more than one year back. Apart from my usual excuses for not being able to post it earlier (too many songs to be posted, I am too lazy etc), locating the video link of this song was a problem too. Now that I have been able to locate this song and I am trying to clear the backlog of farmaishes, here is this song from “Ganga Jamuna” (1961).

When it comes to remembering important dates, I am quite forgetful and absent minded. The only important date in my family that I never forget is my daughter’s birthday, because she looks forward to it from many days in advance. Other than that, details like my wife’s birthday, our wedding anniversary etc are dates that I always forget, much to the chagrin of my wife.
