When I began to listen to farmaishi programmes on Radio, I would pay close attention to the details about the song that were mentioned by the announcer.

I as a kid grew up reading “Chandamama”, a children’s magazine that was published from Madras in many Indian languages. They had interesting stories from eclectic sources viz mythology, arabian tales, folk tales, etc. They also used to have stories preaching the values of peaceful co existence among joint family members. In other words, they preached just the opposite of what is preached in Ekta Kapoor’s serials now a days.

It is a song that I informally call “mental massage” song. This kind of songs makes me forget the tensions of the world and make for a refreshing change. In brief, this does the same for the mind as a nice massage does for the body.

This song was one of the earliest songs that left an indelible mark in my tender mind. I could identify the voice of Rafi even those days, but the concept of lyricists and music directors was not yet known to me at that time.

Here is a duet sung by Talat Mahmood and Lata. The typical quivering voice of Talat Mahmood on Sunil Dutt may sound a bit odd now, but this did not stop this song from becoming very popular. Lata sings for Asha Parekh, then a newcomer. This song is composed by Salil Chowdhary, and the lyricist Rajinder Krishan came up with very nice and hummable lyrics.

1950s and 1960s saw many historical movies ( mostly from Mughal period) being made. These movies have become part of Indian psyche. So much so that there are many people who actually think that emperor Akbar spoke in a “fata baans” kind of croaking voice, and that there was actually someone called Anarkali. History tells us that Akbar hardly looked like Prithviraj Kapoor and there is no mention of Anarkali in historical chronicles, but then far less number of people read history than those that watch movies.

Khayaalon mein kisi ke is tarah

It is a very sweet song to listen to. Almost everyone associated in this song ( except the lyricist) was a newcomer to Bollywood industry and was trying to find his/ her feet. But their collaboration created this masterpiece that is remembered fondly to this day.

O mere Raja khafa na hona

After watching every song of “Johny Mera Naam”, I have described that song as the best song in the movie, only to say the same thing about the next song from the movie. I have already posted a few songs from this movie ( two to be precise) and just about every song is so wonderful to listen to and watch. A fresh as lily Hema and a dashing Dev Saab made quite an impression in this movie, especially in the songs.

I read many times that Bollywood movies would have songs where the boy and girl would be shown singing songs running around trees. Honestly, I have not seen any proper song fulfilling this description. On the other hand, I have seen dozens of songs where boy and girl are shown singing elsewhere, viz on car, boat, train etc. In fact, there are enough number of such songs for me to open tags like “car” song, “boat” song etc. So far I have not felt the need of having a tag for “tree ” songs, that is how elusive such songs are.
