“Chhote Sarkar”(1974) is quite an obscure movie by now, which is a surprise seeing that this movie had Shammi Kapoor and Sadhana in lead roles.
The fact that the movie was released in 1974, by which time both Shammi Kapoor and Sadhana were past their prime as lead actors, may be the reason for the obscurity of this movie. The movie was obviously planned to be released in 1960s, but the movie could not be released for various reasons. By the time it finally saw the light of the day in 1974, it was too late. The taste of the movie goers had changed drastically in the interim period. As a result, this movie sank almost without a trace.

During my travels and trekking in the Himalaya, I have met some interesting personalities – from fellow travellers/ trekkers, drivers, guides, porters, villagers etc. I even had the company of Bhotia dogs during some of my high altitude treks. I remember that in 1986, a Bhotia dog accompanied me during the full 65 kms of trek from start to finish crossing a pass with knee deep snow. Fortunately, it was a round trek thus bringing the Bhotia dog back to his village.

Browsing through this blog today, my eye fell upon a song category which was “chai song”. The word chai makes me think immediately of one of my best friends ever, lets call her V. We worked in the same office, but it took another common friend who worked elsewhere to introduce us. My friend H got to know her and upon finding out where she worked immediately called me up and said “You must go and talk to this girl called V, she is truly bindaas, you will like her.”
