Reading about the Atul ji’s description of the tresses and curls of Indian film heroines, as he discussed yesterday in the song Zulfon ko hataa le chehre se (Saawan Ki Ghata) , I am reminded about this wonderful Kishore da song from the movie Paayal Ki Jhankaar.

When I began this blog nearly three years ago, I discussed only one song a day. That gave me lots of time to discuss the song. I would have a detailed discussion on the song, and then I would also have a translation of the song.

It has been variously said that there is a song in Hindi movies for practically any occasion, any situation, any profession, in short, there is a song for probably just anything. One just has to look for it long enough. The list of categories of songs on this blog itself is evidence that there are absolutely zany and unthinkable situations for which there are songs in Hindi movies. So, is there a song for cleaning dishes? I am sure there are more than one song in domestic or business situations wherein dishes are being cleaned with music and singing. How about cleaning dishes and utensils to classical music? :D)

Here is another gem of a duet from the film Apna Haath Jagannath (1960). Three song from this movie are already discussed in these pages. This one is a fun filled duet by Kishore and Asha Bhosle. I had seen this song many years ago on Doordarshan in the Chitrahaar program. The words and the music was all lost from memory, just the visual of Kishore Kumar walking, and being followed by a lady in a car remained in the mind. Recently, browsing through YouTube, I chanced to see this visual as the thumbnail image, and lo, I found this lost friend once again.

With this post, we celebrate the 3900th song on this blog. Congratulations all. And wow, what a lovely musical journey it has been since the blog was started as a result of an online conversation between two cricket enthusiasts, Atul ji and Raja ji. After having sampled 3900 gems, the large ocean of Hindi film music still beckons for many many more songs to be discovered and re-discovered.

Regular visitors of this blog may have been noticing that I was discussing lots and lots of songs composed by Anil Biswas these days. And a few regulars may also be aware of the reason behind that. These days I am quite particular to see that major artists who have less than 100 of their songs in this blog reach their century of songs as quickly as I can help it.
