Hullo Atuldom

The serial “Wagle Ki Duniya – Nayi Peedhi Naye Kissey” was a serial I loved watching for its assorted characters, that lived in a apartment complex of North Mumbai. One of the characters, who happened to be a neighbour, friend & almost like family to the central (to the plot) Wagle Family- Daksesh Joshipura who is the secretary of the society. He had a one-liner every time he appears on the screen:- “I am Daksesh Joshipura, honourable secretary of the society & 1st Citizen of Sai Darshan Heights”.

I am sure the followers of the blog maybe wondering where I am leading to.

We are moving a bit away from the Rare/Rarely Heard song series of Asha Bhosle and turn to a beautiful mujra by Lata Mangeshkar. The song is “Dil Ka Karar Layi” from “Kundan” (1972). The song is penned by Majrooh Sultanpuri and composed by Ganesh.

I used to love this song after its release and till about the early 1980s when it stopped playing on Radio Ceylon (SLBC). Recently when Atul Ji posted another song from the same movie, I suddenly remembered this song.

‘Shree Ram Bharat Milan-1965’, a mythological movie was directed by Manibhai Vyas for R.M. Art Productions, Bombay. It was produced by Ratan and Mohan and presented by Pt Madhur and S.P. Mangal. As mentioned by me in my earlier posts for this movie’s songs, this movie covers the story of Ramayana starting from ‘Seeta Swayamwar’, ‘Kaikeyi’s seeking the throne for her son Bharat, and ‘vanvaas’ to Shree Raam in lieu of the two boons that Raja Dashrath had granted her earlier, ‘Bharat’s not accepting the throne and instead carrying Raam’s ‘paadukaa’ and worshipping it, and finally Raja Raam’s coming back to Ayodhya after fourteen years of ‘vanvaas’.

Today 24th October 2025 is the fourteenth remembrance day of the legendary singer Manna Dey ( Real name Prabodh Chandra Dey). He was born on 01.05.1919 and he passed away on 24.10.2013.

Music lovers here are already aware about him and much has already been written about his greatness and versatility as a singer, so I am not going to repeat it all here again. But I would definitely like to mention here that I am a big fan of his singing and I have always enjoyed and cherished listening to the songs sung by Manna Dey, whichever genre they are from – classical, semi-classical, sugam sangeet or qawwaalees etc. He has also sung many songs which fall under the category of philosophical songs and ‘songs with a message’.

Today I am presenting one such rare song here. This song is a rare song because it is from an un-released movie of the seventies. I don’t know how many of us have listened to this song. I came across this song around two-three years back and I had mentioned this while presenting another song from this same un-released movie here on the blog earlier.

#the Decade of Forties – 1941 – 1950 #

The biggest festival of our country ‘Diwaalee’ is here and people all over, irrespective of their caste, creed, religion and class, are celebrating this festival. However, life is not the same for all (just like ‘kabhee dhoop kabhee chhaaon’). The migrant labors working away from homes and families wait whole year for this festival to visit their homes. Relatives of such peoples await them to celebrate the festival together. I too have gone through similar situations in my working life (But those details are not the part of this post today.)

Life is hard and life is not the same for all. For some it is a happy diwaalee and for some it might be ‘sad diwaalee’ too. Still, we have to keep our morale high and not give up hope.
