#Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (A tribute to Sahir Ludhianvi)
—————————————————————————————
Today 8th March’2023 is the 102nd birth anniversary of poet-lyricist Sahir Ludhianvi.
He was born on this day in 1921 (08.03.1921) and left this mortal world on 25.10.1980.
Much and much has been written about Sahir Ludhianvi and his poems in print media, digital media and on this blog too.
There is nothing new that I am going to write now, but yes, there is still too much that the upcoming generations are going to read and understand about Sahir Ludhianvi. Sahir Ludhianvi has immortalized him in his timeless poems and classics on the wide ranging issues that are and will ever be relevant to humanity forever.
As long as ‘emotions’ will exist in ‘humans body’ Sahir’s poems will be sung and people will find their expressions in the words of Sahir. As long as people dream about a ‘better future’ and continue to ‘hope’ for a ‘new beginning’ Sahir’s words will be motivating them.
The latest in this series was the revival of Sahir’s songs in the movie ‘Chup-2022’.
Then there was a discussion in a group of Sahir Ludhianvi fans on a social media platform regarding relevance of Sahir’s poems in today’s world and the socio-political conditions existing in today’s world.
Well, I will also taking my thoughts further on Sahir’s poetry, its relevance to me as a ‘citizen’ and as ‘common man’ who loves ‘cinema’ and ‘HFM’, that I will be discussing in future on the blog.
For today, as a tribute to Sahir Ludhianvi we will listen to a song written by him for the movie ‘Chambal Ki Kasam-1979’.
‘Chambal Ki Kasam-1979’ was directed by Ram Maheshwary for ‘M.P.D. Productions’.
It was produced by V L Murlidhar.
It had Raj Kumar, Shatrughan Sinha, Moushmi Chatterjee, Farida Jalal, Ranjeet, Nirupa Roy, Paintal, Gopal Sehgal, R. Tiwari, Usha Kiran, Peace Kanwal, Jagdish Raj, Nazir Hussain, Gufi, Paro Devi, Maruti, Uma Khosla, Raj Rani, Master Bhagwan, Gurucharan, Usha (Gwalior), Pandit Ganga Prasad (Gwalior), Mansaram, Master Rajesh, Master Rahul, Master Sonu, Master Rajiv, Baby Shaloo, and Manu Arora.
Pradeep Kumar makes a guest appearance in this movie, whereas Amjad Khan makes a special appearance in this movie.
Story of this movie was written by M.K. Tamanna and Screenplay was written by Benoy Chatterjee.
Dialogues of this movie were written by Sagar Sarhadi and Safdar Hussain. Additional Dialogues were by Ela Maheshwary.
Editing for this movie was done by D.N. Pai and M.S. Shinde.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 29.12.1979.
‘Chambal Ki Kasam-1979’ has eight songs, which were sung by Jagjit Kaur, Lata Mangeshkar, Manna Dey, Mahendra Kapoor and Mohd Rafi.
The following six songs have been posted from this movie earlier on the blog.

Simti huyi ye ghadiyaan | 27.04.2012 |
Chanda re mere bhaiyya se kehna | 02.08.2012 |

Marta hai koi to mar jaaye | 30.01.2021 |
Kaun hai mujrim kaun hai munsif | 18.02.2021 |
Today’s song is sung by Lata Mangeshkar. It is lip-synced on screen by Moushumi Chatterjee. It is a ‘female drunkard’ song where the lady is pretending to be drunk. It is my guess that she is trying to get the man to get intoxicated. Ranjeet is the drunk ‘male’.
We can also see Raj Kumar and one other actor (whom Raj Kumar guns down ) in the picturization of this song.
Let us listen to this ‘intoxicated’- song penned by Sahir, and beautifully sung by Lata Mangeshkar and equally beautifully composed by Khayyam Saab…

#the Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #
————————————————————————
During the months of November-December 2022, I had presented couple of ‘drunkard’ category or ‘drink driven’ category songs on the blog. The last one was posted on 03.12.2022. I think the blog is ‘overdue’ 🙂 for another such song.
So, here is a song from the movie ‘Ashaanti-1982’.
‘Ashaanti-1982’ was directed by Umesh Mehra for ‘Eagle Films, Bombay’. It was produced by Parvesh C. Mehra.
The movie had Rajesh Khanna, Zeenat Aman, Parveen Babi, Shabana Azmi, Mithun Chakravarty, Kanwaljeet, Amrish Puri, Jeevan, Narendra Nath, Monty, Mac Mohan, Kishore Kapoor, Yusuf Khan, Ram Sethi, Nadira, Satyen Kappu, Bob Christo, Mohan Choti, Avtar Gill, Ajay Agrawal, Amir Jambra, Yusuf, Ganesh, and others.
Prem Kishan and Ramesh Deo make a special appearance in this movie.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 01.05.1982.
Here is a brief about this movie as mentioned by Peevesie’s Mom ji in her post while discussing a song from this movie.
“Ashanti” was one of the multi-starrers of that year. It had Rajesh Khanna heading a cast of Shabana Azmi, Zeenat Aman, Parveen Babi, Mithun Chakravarthy, Kanwaljeet, Amrish Puri, Satyen Kappu, Jeevan Ramesh Deo, Nadira, Pinchoo Kapoor, Narendranath, Monty Nath, and many more known faces that formed the supporting cast. It was an action film and was the story of an honest & dedicated police officer played by Rajesh Khanna who intercepts a bank robbery but is himself caught with the suitcase of stolen money, tried in the court and jailed. Further twists in the tale lead him to losing a leg too. On his release from prison he seeks out the wrong doers and for this he has help from the three heroines and Shankar Dada played by Mithun. If my memory is correct, one of the heroines is also the lost daughter of Amrish Puri who is the cause of all the troubles of the police officer. The movie comes to a close after a lot of drama and high voltage action.
This movie had five songs composed by R.D. Burman. Lyrics for all the five songs were penned by Anand Bakshi.
Following is the list of songs in this movie:-
S.No. | Song Title | Singer/s | Posted On |
---|---|---|---|
01. | Ru ru ru ru … Dil diya hai maine dil diya hai | Asha Bhonsle, Amit Kumar | 29.12.2022 |
02 | Main hoon sharaabi, nahin ji nahin | Shailendra Singh | |
03 | Naa tujhse naa mujhse oye naa mujhse naa tujhse, hamse hai yah duniya | Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, Shailendra Singh | 29.12.2021 |
04 | Suniye main jis shahar mein jaati hoon… laungi mirchi main Kolhapurchi | Lata Mangeshkar, Asha Bhonsle | 19.11.2017 |
05 | Shakti de ma … o pag pag thokar khaaun chal naa paaun … | Chandrashekhar Gadgil, chorus | 29.12.2012 |
So far four songs from this movie have been posted on the blog. Today’s song is the fifth and final song from this movie.
This song is sung by Shailendra Singh. Mithun Chakravarty performs on this song. The picturisation shows Mithun at a ‘sharaab thheka’ with Mohan Choti with him. Also seen in the picturisation is Parveen Babi who seems to be on some ‘sceret agenda’out to take advantage of Mithun’s intoxicated condition. 🙂
With this song all songs of ‘Ashanti-1982’ get covered on the blog and this movie joins the ‘list of movies-all songs covered’.
Let us say ‘Y i P p Ee eE’ to ‘Ashanti’ as the movie ends its journey on the blog on a “high” with this ‘drunkard’ song. 🙂

#the Decade of Seventies – 1971 – 1980 #

#Bhoole-Bisre Geet # (Remembering Dev Anand)
—————————————
Today 3rd December’2022 is the eleventh ‘Remembrance Anniversary’ (born on 26th September 1923 – passed away on 3rd December 2011) of the legendary actor Dev Anand.
My father was a big big fan of Dev Anand (BTW I am also a Dev Saab’s fan too) and may be because of that I got to watch many of his movies in my childhood which I remember vaguely. In my childhood we were staying in colony of State Electricity Board and there used to be a weekly screening of Hindi movies which mostly were the older and older movies. Because getting newly released movies were a ‘costly affair’ for the ‘colony club committee’. In this weekly screening I get to watch many of Dev Anand’s black and white movies e.g. ‘Sarhad’, ‘Sharaabi’, ‘Bambai Ka Babu’, etc. and some older movies of sixties and early seventies too. This was the period from 1975 onward and 1977-to-1983 for me, if I remember correctly. Since watching movies and listening songs on radio was common for all in our family I get those songs imbibed on my mind also develop a liking for HFM of golden period e.g. the song ‘hai apnaa dil to aawaraa’ and many other songs. Why I am mentioning only this song is because it was the most favourites of my father and he used to play it on ‘mouth organ’ frequently and in the colony cultural programmes held during festivals.
Well there is long list of Dev Anand’s movies and songs which are favourites of me and even my family today. Like the song ‘phoolon ke rang se’, ‘dil ka bhandwar kare pukaar’, ‘hai apnaa dil to aawaraa’ etc which my daughters too like very much and they are always there in their playlists.
I get to listen to many Dev-Kishore-RDB combination songs daily on FM channels on radio and it is always a great pleasure to listen to them.
What I want to bring to the notice of the readers is that Dev Anand’s magic spell is still upon us and it will be there as long as Hindi movies and HFM will be there. It is not only the people of older generations of my generation who are the ‘fans’ of Dev Anand but even the newer generations and music lovers have fallen in love of him and his songs.
On the occasion of Dev Anand’s ‘remembrance day’ today I am presenting a lesser heard song from the ‘1974’ movie ‘Prem Shastra’. I vaguely remember that this movie was scheduled to be screened in our ‘colony’ in the early eighties but it was cancelled later.
“Prem Shastra-1974” was directed by B.R. Ishara for ‘Nalanda Arts, Bombay.
It was produced by Amar Jeet.
It had Dev Anand, Zeenat Aman, Bindu, I.S. Johar, Abhi Bhattacharya, Sajjan, Anwar Hussain, Murad, Asit Sen, David, Mumtaz Begam, Dulari, Manhar Desai, Mohan Sheri, Lajwanti Sharma, Amrut Patel, Mishrilal and others.
Rehman and Anju Mahendru had a special appearance in this movie.
Story of this movie was written by B.R. Ishara who also directed this movie.
Editing of this movie was done by I.M. Kunnu.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 08.07.1974 with ‘restricted viewing’ certificate. (However in the later years the ‘restricted viewing’ condition was removed for this movie.).
“Prem Shaastra” had seven soundtracks released with five songs, one theme music track, and one title music soundtrack.
All the songs for this movie were written by Anand Bakshi and music for them was composed by Lamikant-Pyarelal.
Kishore Kumar and Asha Bhonsle are the only two voices who have sung the songs in this movie.
Today’s song is sung by Kishore Kumar and on screen it is Dev Anand lip-syncing the song in his ‘characteristic style’. Also seen in the picturisation of this song are Bindu and many others.
I had been longing to introduce this movie on the blog since long and earlier I had planned to present a duet song from this movie. But finally I decided on the today’s song which is a nice song and if we listen to it few times it grows on us.
I had mentioned in my earlier write-ups that I liked such ‘drink driven’ 🙂 songs very much and when you have Kishore Kumar and a Dev Anand combination you are surely going to love it. (Around a month back I had presented a song where the hero of the movie is sings ‘thhodi sharaab pi loon, ho jaaye kuchh sahaara, aye doston tumhe kya ye bhi nahin ganwaara’, but today’s hero is different he publicly ‘announces’ that ‘main sharaab pi rahaa hoon’ 🙂 and warns nobody should ‘disturb’ him):)
Let us listen to today’s song now…
(Note – The audio version of this songs has one extra stanza (the first one) which is not there in the video version of this song.).
With today’s song ‘Prem Shaastra-1974’ makes its debut on the blog.

Greetings and Happy Birthday wishes to Usha Khanna ji.
Born this day in 1941, she is all of 81 years old today. With a reign lasting from 1959 to 2003, she may be the most prolific and accomplished lady music director in the Hindi film industry. In the early decades of Hindi cinema, we have been earlier introduced to lady music directors viz., Bibbo, Jaddan Bai and Saraswati Rane. Then after a gap of maybe a decade, the teenaged Usha Khanna (she was 18 years when ‘Dil Deke Dekho’ was released in 1959) made her debut.
And the audience and the industry took notice of this new and attractive sound of music. After a slow beginning, she went on to become one of the mainline music directors in the industry. Over the period of about four and a half decade, she has composed music for more than 160 films. Her last film was released on 2003 – ‘Dil To Pardesi Hai’. We do not see more films from her after this, although technically she has not formally announced her retirement from an active career.
The song that I bring up today is from the 1964 film ‘Awaara Baadal’. This is a song performed on screen by Helen. And true to the spirit of this fabulous danseuse, the composition is so lilting and magical. On screen we see a dance being performed by Helen and a group of supporting dancers. The performance is being viewed by Niranjan Sharma.
The lyrics of the song have been penned by Javed Anwar and the singing voice is that of Asha Bhosle.
A quick reminder for the readers, regarding the lyricist. Javed Anwar is a pseudonym for a team of two songwriters working together. Javed is the name that is used by Manohar Khanna, who is the father of Usha Khanna in real life. And Anwar is the pen name of the second songwriter – Raheel Gorakhpuri.
Wishing Usha ji for good health and many more such celebrations to come.
I invite you to listen to this foot tapping melody that is so apt for a Helen dance song.
Song – Dil To Niraala Hi Sharaabi Hai (Awaara Baadal) (1964) Singer – Asha Bhosle, Lyrics – Javed Anwar, MD – Usha Khanna

Today’s song is from the ‘Golden Years’ of ‘Hindi Film Music’. It is from the movie ‘Garibi-1949’.
I had come across this song more than seven years back and I had shared it as well however this song remains to be posted till now.
This song is sung by Zohrabai Ambalewali.
Regulars on the blog must be aware that I have also shared many Zohrabai Ambalewali songs as I like them very much. I had been listening to her many songs during 2013-2014 when I used to browse and listen to her songs regularly.
Today’s movie ‘Garibi’ was directed by Ramchandra Thakur. It had Geeta Bali, Jayraj, Nirupa Roy, P. Kailash, Usha Kiran, Banke Bihari, Ramesh Thakur, M.K. Hasan, Bhoopat Rai, Tarabai, Jayram, Jawahar Kaul and others.
Here is a brief about this movie as mentioned by our Respected Arunkumar ji in his comments on one of the song-posts of this movie
GARIBI (1949), a Ranjit movietone film had music by its contracted composer B C Rani and lyricists were Rajendra Krishna, Shevan Rizvi, B.R. Sharma and M G Adeeb.
I don’t know whether Chandulal Shah ever knew on what storylines their movies were being produced on the assembly line, because not only all 4 set-sections of Ranjit studios were always shooting some films but sometimes they used to hire the neighboring Sharda studios also.
This was one movie which eulogized the virtues of poverty (Garibi) as compared to Riches (Amiri). Geeta Bali, hailing from a poor family loves and gets married to rich Jairaj. She finds it difficult to adjust to the rich ways of her sasural, particularly Saas-Sasur (Tarabai-Bhupat Rai),while her poor mother(Nirupa Roy) and Father(P. Kailash) get poorer but they have very high ideals and come to the rescue of their rich relatives when there is a problem with their daughter(Usha Kiran),who is in trouble with her husband(Jawahar Kaul).
Having learnt that only Money cannot give happiness, the rich family respects the poor and poverty. This was a very unconvincing storyline and badly handled too. The only saving grace was its superb music.
This movie has eights songs as mentioned in HFGK Vol-II (1941-1950).
Music for this movie was composed by Bulo C. Rani. Four lyricists contributed the eight songs in this movie and they are Rajinder Krishan (three songs), Shewan Rizvi (two songs), B.R. Sharma (two songs) and M.G. Adeeb (one song).
Here is the list of songs of this movie :-
SNo | Song Title | Singer/s | Lyricist | Posted On |
---|---|---|---|---|
01 | Dard dil hi mein chhipaa le, muskurana seekh le | Geeta Roy | Rajinder Krishan | |
02 | Kisi se hamne ye poochha, muhabbat kisko kehte hain | Mohd Rafi | Rajinder Krishan | 02.11.2017 |
03 | Mastana nigaahon ke deewaane hazaaron hai | Shamshad Begum | Shewan Rizvi | |
04 | Haay ye maine kya kiya jo tumhe thukraa diya | Shamshad Begum | Rajinder Krishan | |
05 | Ik din ik armaan bhara dil, ulfat se do chaar huaa | Mohd Rafi | B.R. Sharma | 28.10.2011 |
06 | Sun mujhse ki … do roz ka jeena hai | Zohrabai Ambalewali | B.R. Sharma | |
07 | Dukhon mein jo muskuraa rahe thhe | Geeta Roy | Shewan Rizvi | |
08 | Ae saamne aane waale bataa, kyon chaand mera mujhse hai khafaa | Shamshad Begum, Mohd Rafi | M.G. Adeeb | 21.10.2011 |
From the above table we can see that three songs from this movie have been posted on the blog. The first song of this movie was posted on 21.10.2011 and the second song followed a week later on 28.10.2011. However, after that this movie was forgotten and the third song of this movie appeared on the blog after a gap of almost six years.
Now, today, we are going to discuss the fourth song from this movie after a gap of another four and half years.
Today’s song is written by B.R. Sharma and it is sung by Zohrabai Ambalewali. This is a nice philosophical/ motivational song and I like it very much.
Music is composed by Bulo C. Rani.
Let us now listen to today’s song …

Around six to eight songs from the remaining songs seems to be difficult to find or they may not be available at all. Following is the details of movies and the number of songs from these movies yet to be posted on the blog.

Today I present here a song from the movie ‘Nanha Farishta’ (1969). ‘Nanha Farishta’ was directed by T Prakash Rao for Vijaya International, Madras. It was produced by B Nagi Reddi and Chakrapani. This movie was presented by B Nagi Reddi.
The star cast of the movie lists Pran, Ajit, Anwar Hussain, Padmini, Balraj Sahni and Baby Rani, supported by Suresh, Mukri, Raj Mehra, Sundar, Maruti, Prem Kumar and Johnny Walker.
Story of this movie was written by Thuraiyoor K Moorthy, and dialogues were written by Inder Raj Anand. Editing of this movie was done by BS Glaad.
This movie had four songs written by Sahir Ludhianvi and music composed by Kalyanji-Anandji.
The playback singers for this movie are Lata Mangeshkar, Mohd Rafi, Asha Bhonsle, Kishore Kumar, Manna Dey, Mahendra Kapoor and Manhar. [Author’s Note: The titles of the movie also mentioned the name of S Balbir in the list of playback singers, however HFGK has not mentioned Balbir’s name for any song of this movie.]
HFGK mentions the following four songs from this movie.
Song | Posted On |
O Natkhat Nanhi Laadli Tujhe Dekhen | 26.12.2020 |
Chandaa Kaahe Ka Tera Maama | 08.03.2021 |
O Re O, Sharaabi Tujhme Ek Kharaabi | Being discussed today |
Bachche Mein Hai Bhagwaan | 14.11.2014 |
Kalyanji-Anandji have worked with Sahir Ludhianvi in two movies, as per following details.
Movie | Year | MD | Songs by Sahir (in blog) |
Songs by Sahir (per HFGK) |
Songs by Sahir (per – The People’s Poet) |
Nanha Farishta | 1969 | Kalyanji-Anandji | 3 | 4 | 4 |
Shankar Shambhu | 1976 | Kalyanji-Anandji | 5 | 5 | 5 |
From the above table we can see that only one song from the movide ‘Nanha Farishta’ which is also the last song of ‘Sahir – KA’ association remains to be posted on the blog. This is also the final song from this movie to be posted on the blog.
This song is sung by Asha Bhonsle and on-screen Padmini is lip-syncing for Asha Bhonsle’s voice. Also seen in the picturization of the song are Pran, Ajit, and Anwar Hussain.
The song happens when the three criminals Pran, Ajit and Anwar Hussain got drunk and request Gauri (Padmini) to sing a song for them. Gauri is the caretaker of the little girl Baby (Baby Rani) whom the three have abducted after killing her father. Later the three criminals develop a soft corner for the baby girl and kidnapped her caretaker Gauri as well when the little girl fall sick.
Gauri has a plan for the criminals and that is why she readily agrees to sing and dance for the drunken criminals. But that is not to be disclosed here and that is something we have to leave intact for those who are interested in watching this movie. I have also not watched this movie and the above storyline in short is from what I got to read on internet.
With this post, the film ‘Nanha Farishta’ (1969) now joins the list of Yippeee’d movies on the blog.
Let us listen to the today’s song now.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2012-2022) – Song No. 10
————————————————————————————–
Today’s song is from the movie ‘Nainaa-1973’.
One song from this movie was posted on the blog ten years back on this day. In all, five songs were discussed on this day ten years ago on 19 January 2012.
Here is the list.
Song | Movie title(Year) | Remarks |
---|---|---|
Muhabbat mein aise zamaane bhi aaye | Sagaai(1951) | All Songs covered |
Ye samaa ye khushi kuchh bolo jee bolo jee | Ghar Ghar Ki Baat(1959) | All Songs covered |

Hone lagi hai raat jawaan jaagte raho | Nainaa(1972) | 5 of 7 Songs posted |
Koyi ye kaise bataaye ke wo tanha kyun hai | Arth(1982) | 3 of 5 Songs posted |
From the above table we can see that out of the five movies presented on the blog on 19.01.2012, three movies viz. ‘Sagaai-1951’, ‘Ghar Ghar Ki Baat-1959’ and ‘Do Dil-1965’ have already been Yippeeee’ed on the blog.
That leaves us two movies i.e., ‘Nainaa-1973’ and ‘Arth-1982’ from which songs can be discussed today.
I am presenting a song from ‘Nainaa-1973’ for which the lyrics were sent by our dear Prakash ji.
‘Nainaa-1973’ was directed by Kanak Mishra for ‘Shakti International, Bombay’. It had Shashi Kapoor, Moushumi Chatterjee, Rahman, Akashdeep, David, Padma Khanna, Sanjana, Shaukat Kaifi, Praveen Pal, Madhumati, Jagirdar, Naagar, Samson, Feroza, Teerath, Polsan, Dhanraj, Sitaram, Krishna Kumar, Radheshyam, Jugnu and others.
This movie introduced Darpan and Siddharth. Farida Jalal, A.K. Hangal, and Rajshree have special appearance in this movie.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 10.09.1973.
This movie had seven songs written by Hasrat Jaipuri (five songs), Kaifi Azmi and Indeewar (one song each).
Music for this movie was composed by Shankar-Jaikishan.
Here is the list of songs this movie had as mentioned in HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980).
SNo | Song Title | Singer/s | Posted On |
---|---|---|---|
01 | Hone lagi hai raat jawaan, jaagte raho | Asha Bhonsle | 19.01.2012 |
02 | Jaane mujhe toone ye kyaa cheez pilaa dee | Kishore Kumar, Sharda | Being discussed today |
03 | Hamko to jaan se pyaari hai tumhaari aankhen | Mohd Rafi | 31.03.2009 |

05 | Albele sanam tu laaya hai kahaan | Sharda | 22.05.2009 |
06 | Man panchhi kahin door chal door chal | Sharda | 25.05.2019 |
07 | Mere dil door bahut door kahin bhi le chal | Mohd Rafi |
Out of the above list, I am aware of two songs ‘hamko to jaan se pyaari hai tumhaari aankhen’ and ‘albele sanam tu laaya kahaan’. May be other songs will turn out to be familiar after I listen to them.
I am sure I had not heard today’s song earlier. Today’s song is sung by Kishore Kumar and Sharda. On screen it is Shashi Kapoor and Padma Khanna lip syncing the song. The song is a ‘party song’ where other than Shashi Kapoor and Padma Khanna we can see Moushumi Chatterjee, David and others.
Lyrics for the today’s song were sent by Prakashchandra.
Let us now enjoy today’s entertaining song 😊

Do not dwell in the past, do not dream of the future, concentrate the mind on the present moment – Lord Buddha
Thinking about the past events in the life and planning for the future is one of the common activities of human beings most of the time. This, at times, can become a stressful activity during which negative thoughts can creep in the mind. In this process, we tend to lose focus on the current activities. We try to neatly plan for the future based on the past experiences. But not all the parameters of the future plan run on the basis of what was determined at the time of planning. The reason is that there are many uncertainties on the way to attaining the goal. I will give the example of planning my Himalayan treks to elucidate the tyranny of uncertainties.
I have always made a well-charted plan for each of my Himalayan treks. But the uncertainty starts when the train or the flight which we have booked gets delayed by a few hours jeopardizing the connecting travels to the base town/village from where the trek is to start. The second uncertainty is through natural calamities. A landslide or a flooded water stream cutting across the road can block the vehicle movements for a considerable time. The third element of the uncertainty is the weather. A rain/snow storm during the trek can force one to stay inside the tent or in a shelter on the way for a considerably long time. Lastly, the last-minute health issues of a trekker can force him the abandon the trek mid-way. Ultimately, one is not sure whether the trekker’s goal to reach his destination would be achievable or not.
Because of these perceived uncertainties, for the next trek, we plan more meticulously than what is necessary. Things work out smoothly and at the end of the trek, though we are happy to complete the trek in time without hic-cups, we feel cheated by the nature. We are left with extra days which means additional expenses. In short, there is no fixed solution in the planning for the future.
Because of the futility of the past memories and the uncertainty of the future, a philosophical thought has emerged which is known as ‘live in the moment’. This philosophy reminds us that our presence is in the present only. We cannot live in the past as that timeframe is over. We cannot plan for the future as there are many uncertainties. When we think of our past, the thought process influences our future goals. There is no guarantee that our past experiences would lead to achieving the future goals successfully.
Perhaps, it was in this context, Lord Buddha advised his followers to forget about the past, not to dream about the future and devote full time for present moment. In other words, there is no need for Mungerilal ke haseen sapne as there is no guarantee – kal ho na ho. So, enjoy the present moment on which the human beings have some control. Just go with the flow of life as beautifully visualised by Sahir Ludhianv in the song, main zindagi ka saath nibhaata chala gaya.
There may be many among us who are following ‘living for the moment’ philosophy, albeit unknowingly. After reading about this philosophy, I have realised that I have unwittingly followed this philosophy covering the important social and financial events in my life. I had flown with then current situation as needed without bothering about the future – especially in regard to my education, employment, buying a residential house, financial planning for the future etc. I had not made any financial planning for my future as at that time, I felt that my provident fund balance and the gratuity amount would take care of my future financial requirements. As I see it today, I was not completely right about this thinking as interest earned on this amount would not have taken care of a good standard of living in my post-retired life. Fortunately, when my job became pensionable in 1997, it helped me to maintain a good standard of living after retirement.
Let me add a caveat to the ‘live in the moment’ philosophy. Each one of us follow a different life style. Some will thrive with their life to flow with the needs as and when arise without planning for the future. Some may like to have a perspective plan for their future life, may be with some flexibilities. There is also the third possibility – a sort of mix of both where one partially plans and also partially swims with the flow.
I found a rare song from the film ‘Dukh Sukh’ (1942) which depicts, more or less, the ‘live in the moment’ philosophy, probably for a drunkard in a tavern. The song is ‘hai aaj kal ki fiqar hi kyaa, majhe se pee aur majhe se khaa’ which is rendered by Rajkumari Dubey. The words are of Wali Sahab which are set to music by Khemchand Prakash.
