(Celebrating ‘Saawan’-2025-4)

Today’s saawan song is from the movie “Ghamand-1955”. What a wonderful ‘saawan composition this is. The composition soaked in the delight of saawan is by Gulshan Soofi, while the verses swinging in the spirit of saawan are by Naqsh Lyallpuri. Asha Bhonsle’s singing will take you far away from the world to the world of saawan.

“Ghamand-1955” was directed by Deepak Asha for Kirtan Pictures, Bombay. It was produced by Rijhumal Sewaram. It had Shyama, Sheela Ramani, Rajkumar, Kamal Mehra, Ramlal, Seeta Bose, Mohini, Manjeet Kumari, Shakeel, Thakur, Ishwar, Bajaj, Jaani, Murad and others. This movie was passed by Censor Board on 15.01.1955.

#Desh Kee Mittee Kee Khushboo#

The month of saawan is at its peak. Activities like visiting temples, offering prayers, having get-togethers and visiting nearby tourist places reach their peak in this season. This Sunday there a was trip arranged by the family club of the colony at my new workplace. However, I could not participate in that due to other priorities. People from my department who were part of this trip told me that the place they visited had a big farm with a ‘lake/pond’ around and a temple of goddess. The snacks and lunch were arranged from the canteen at our work place only and people enjoyed ‘antaaksharee’, housie, playing games and relaxing in the midst of lush green fields around. We in India celebrate nature, and we celebrate seasons. We pay our respect to nature through many customs and rituals. Different religious and spiritual activities are practiced during this period. People all over the country follow these customs, rituals, and traditions with some local variations.

Music for this song is composed by C. Arjun. This song is from the movie ‘Aankh Kaa Taaraa-1977’.

#The Decade of Eighties – 1981 – 1990 #

Yesterday the festival of Naag Panchamee was celebrated all over the country. I read that the tithhee of Naag Panchamee falls on both days viz 29th and 30th July. However the auspicious (mahurat) timings for the offering the prayers was yesterday only, and that too was for just couple of hours. Initially I was looking for a song from the older movies which could be fit for the occasion, however due to changed priorities, I could not share a post yesterday. Before I could finalise a song I came across an article on internet which was about the vanished genres of film stories in recent years. Till the decade of seventies many movies were still made with mythological stories and the films about snakes and ichchhaadhaaree naag or naagin were being made in those decades. Even in the eighties we had films like ‘Naginaa-1986’, ‘Nagin Aur Nagina-1988’(dubbed movie), ‘Nigaahen-1989’, ‘Doodh Kaa Karz-1990’, ‘Tum Mere Ho-1990’ etc.

In my previous post earler today I discussed the ongoing monsoon season in our country. Monsoon has arrived more than a month back and most parts of the country has received good rains. That got me interested to present a rain song here today.

Lots of rain songs are yet to be covered on the blog. When I checked the category of rain songs I noted that the last rain song on the blog was posted on 26th August 2023. It is surprising that no rain song was posted after August 2023 unless some such songs were posted but they failed to get tagged under rain songs.
