I would not go so far as to say that I have learnt to appreciate art and culture as I have grown old. I am still very much a novice when it comes to appreciating these finer aspects of life.

I came across a veritable gem today, that I had once heard many many years ago; I had no info about this song, just remembered the tune and some words, that would sometimes just come up in my mind by themselves and I would hum them, always longing to hear this song again.

“Jeewan Jyoti” (1953) is a movie that had Shammi Kapoor, Chand Usmani, Shashikala etc in it. Personally I am not much aware of this movie. In fact, I am not much aware of its songs too.

But I was wrong in my assumption, of course.

By now, most music lovers who are a regular of this blog must have come to the same conclusion about Chitragupta as I have concluded- that he was a grossly underrated and underutilised music director. Most of his music was given in B movies which did not catch the attention of mainstream movie goers. But what music these movies had !

There are songs in Hindi movies that I call philosophical songs. I just realised that calling them spiritual songs is a better description of those songs. So now I have opened a new tag, viz. “Spiritual song” tag for such songs.

I have talked before about the thrill of locating some of the less-known songs of your childhood days on the internet. You probably know just the first couple of lines, you may not even know any details more than this but you last heard the song in your childhood.
