#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #

I discovered this blog in the year 2009 while searching for songs penned by Sahir Ludhianvi. My first comment on this blog was on the song ‘kashtee kaa khaamosh safar hai’ on 15 September 2009 more than two months after this song was posted on the blog on 12 July 2009. I had sent this comment after some hesitation because I was new to blogs and for that matter to internet itself and I was not sure whether my comment will get published. Fortunately, it all went well. 🙂 My comment got published :-

I love the music and specifically Hindi music/songs from old Hindi films and try to collect them in my collection i.e. cassettes or cds . Now a days I am collecting the lyrics for old songs and which contains true poetry and are true gems in our Hindi films history.

The great work being carried by you deserves much accolades and NOT a mere thank you, since the work being carried by you is priceless and very very precious for peoples like me.

After this initial comment, I kept visiting this blog regularly for those songs that I remembered from my younger days and which were missing from my collections of cassettes. My understanding of this blog then was that some of the songs that I was looking for were available here while others were not available.

Today’s song is from an obscure film – Char minar-1956. Though the 50s decade was known for entertaining, Mythological and musical films, there were also plenty of ordinary films, lacking in content, star power and good music. Such films just came and went without leaving any trace. But these lacklustre films actually gave enhanced importance to memorable films.

Char Minar-56 was a Nagina film presentation (which was owned by Ravindra Dave, the Director of Nageena-51. After this film’s tremendous success he opted for its name for his company). The film was produced and directed by Ravindra Dave. Not only that, the assistant director was Narendra Dave, Assistant Photographers were Pratap Dave and Arvind Dave, Assistant Editor was Balwant Dave and the production manager was Surendra Dave. It looked like an employment exchange for Dave’s family !

Hullo Atuldom

Got to know that today is International Family Day. ‘Family’ is something that one doesn’t choose, a person is usually born into a family. The starting point of any family are the husband and wife who get to choose each other (atleast in modern times, not in the times of my parents or even till the turn of the century). In my opinion, the anniversary of our parents should be what we celebrate as ‘Family day’ or ‘Foundation Day’ (as I like to call it 😀) But that is my thought I don’t expect people to agree with me.

Google tells that “International Day of Families” is observed globally on May 15. Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993, the day aims to promote awareness about the social, economic, and demographic issues that affect families worldwide. The key theme for 2026 include ‘Families, Inequalities, and Child Wellbeing’ and ‘Family- Oriented Policies for Sustainable Development’ emphasizing resilience and support.

#the Decade of Fifties – 1951 – 1960 #

#Debutant Movie – ‘Dwaarikaadheesh-1956’#

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Dwaarikaadheesh-1956’. This movie is making its debut on this blog today.

With over twenty thousand songs already on the blog, and over six thousand of them being from the decade of 1951-1960, I was shocked to note that this movie was still missing from the blog. I was even more surprised when I listened to a few songs from this movie. I must say that this movie has some great melodious compositions in it. It is likely that the songs from this movie were not available online in the past. Personally I had not heard any songs of this movie anywhere to the best of my knowledge. Nevertheless, almost four thousand songs from the decade of 1951-1960 are still missing from the blog. Some of them are available and some more songs may become available with time. As we cover these missing songs, we will come across movies that have not yet made their debuts in the blog.

I checked and double checked and finally came to the conclusion that this movie “Dwarkadheesh” is making its debut today in the blog.
