July 17th is the birth anniversary of Snehal Bhatkar ( 17/07/1919 – 29/05/2007), one of the forgotten music directors of the Hindi film industry. On his last death anniversary, I had written an article on him for this blog. So I would skip his profile. Snehal Bhatkar was a talented music director who, like many lesser known music directors, lost in the rigmarole of the Hindi film industry.

Yesterday, Atul ji has posted a song whose lyrics were sent in by Prakash ji. The song –“Kaise Mitti Ke Maadho Se Paala Padaa” .

Now how come this song has not yet made it to the blog? Well I think the main reason could be that there are so many such wonderful gems still out there that I am sure we are going to continue rediscovering them and posting them here, for a long time still to come. And yet, on listening to this particular song, memories of the radio listening days are revived and the mind says, where has this song be sitting for all these years.

Tumhi ne mujhko prem sikhaaya
Posted on: July 17, 2012
When I was going through the list of all songs sung by Mukesh, I found that Mukesh had sung a song called “tumhi ne mujhko prem sikhaaya” in his debut movie called “Nirdosh” (1941). While searching for this song, I was unable to find that song. But on the other hand I located another, and even older song with similar lyrics.
