Today is the birthday of Nutan, one of Hindi movies’ most loved actresses of yesteryear. She also just happens to be one of my own favourites and therefore I am very happy to write up a song for her.

Today, the 4th of June, is the birth anniversary of Bina Rai.
It also happens to be the birth anniversary of Nutan. In fact both Nutan and Bina Rai were born on the exact same date – the 4th of June 1936. What a coincidence!

I remember being one of the first few fans of this blog when Atul started it in mid-2008. Being crazy about old Hindi songs, I was very excited that Atul was starting this. His original intention was probably to publish songs of HIS liking here. But then he began getting – and accepting – requests (farmaishes).

It is with great pleasure that I write this tribute today to Johnny Walker, one of the greatest (if not the greatest) comedy actors we have seen in Hindi cinema. Today happens to be his 89th birth anniversary and it is as good an occasion as any to remember him and thank him for all the wonderful memories he has left us with.

My last few posts have been about songs of the 1970s. As I’ve explained before, this is only because I find it easier to talk about that decade. Some golden-era film and music lovers may even like to call it the decadent decade 😉 – and they would not be entirely wrong, in my opinion.

Recently I wrote up a 1970s song here and today I’m presenting another 1970s song.
I know that by the standards of this blog, the 1970s is a fairly recent decade. Most of the songs here are from an earlier period – and I love this because it gives me an opportunity to listen to, and learn about, so many forgotten gems of an earlier era. I will never forget the thrill I got when I heard “halla gulla lai la (Dholak – 1951)” for the first time – it has since become one of my FAVOURITE songs! Actually I’d always been interested in old songs but thanks to the internet and this blog, my interest has not only been encouraged, it has also been sharpened in the last few years.
