When ‘Anand’ was released in theatres in 1970, I was still in school. I remember I did not get a chance to see this film on the big screen in the first run. It would be later re runs that I got to see this film. Being still not very involved with cinema and music, the best fare for us used to be what we could see on Doordarshan. Rather, whatever was telecast on Doordarshan was always the quality stuff in my mind. So having watched films like ‘Sikander’ (1941) and ‘Roti’ (1942) and ’Baazi’ (1951) on TV, the micro mind of mine carried them as benchmarks and anything that we would see on posters and billboards going to and from school, would be just so so. I remember, when we came to know about this film ‘Anand’, the names Rajesh Khanna and Amitabh Bachchan did not mean much to us. Rajesh Khanna, to some extent, as we had all heard the “Mere Sapnon Ki Raani Kab Aayegi Tu” that became popular the year earlier.

Fabulous Foot Tappers – 3
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –
A name that deserves to be known better, and honored better. The repertoire of his songs makes one wonder – he should be named in the top ranking lyricists. But that is not the case. He had an intrinsic verve of the verse, he had a passion for nationalism and he had trained in classical music under the renowned Pt Ravi Shankar – a combination that evoked such inspired poetry
tere daaman se jo aayen
un hawaaon ko salaam
choom loon main us zubaan ko
jis pe aaye tera naam
ae mere pyaare watan
ae mere bichhde chaman
tujh pe dil qurbaan
Remembering Prem Dhawan on the anniversary of his passing away today (7th May).

Songs to Tickle Your Memory – 19
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
There is a film from 1969 – ‘Tumse Achhaa Kaun Hai”. This film has a classic song, Rafi Sb singing for Shammi Kapoor, that has not yet made it to this blog. (Yes, I am surprised too 🙂 ). The mukhdaa of the song is an animated yet a resigned expression of helplessness – so many ladies to be loved, whom should I love – “Kis Ko Pyaar Karoon, Kaise Pyaar Karoon”. The situation is not too different, when I am trying to select a song for posting here. Atul ji mentions a specific requirement, and as I sit down to choose a song according to that, I find myself in the same quandary – “Kis Ko Post Karoon, Kaise Post Karoon – Ye Bhi Hai, Wo Bhi Hai. . .”.

Today’s selection is in the voice of Geeta Dutt. Coming to think of it, it is just these two voices that have the capacity and the capability to make a foot tapper song – Asha Bhosle and Geeta Dutt. I cannot think of any other female singer who can manage songs of the type we are discussing in this series. There could be exceptions but I cannot readily recall any right away.

Ah, coming back to this series after a long gap, a very long gap indeed. The last episode of this – “Hum Ne Chakkar Kha Kar Dekha” was posted last year on 23rd June. And I am returning to it now, after a gap of more than 10 months. Before I get to the song itself, let me talk about this gap in the proceedings of this series.

This article is the 11100th song post in the blog.
“Sone Pe Suhaaga”, as we say in India. First it was the momentous 10K milestone in July last year (20 Jul 2014). Then a little while ago, on the close of the previous financial year (31 Mar, 2015) we had the auspicious and ‘Badhaai Waala” 11K milestone. And then today, we have the next level ‘1’ added, taking the auspiciousness and ‘badhaai’ to the next level on the scale.
Welcome all to the next important century milestone on this blog. After we had the invasion of the blog by an army of eleven thousand young ladies, I mean, after the “Gyaarah Hazaar Ladkiaan” made their auspicious and enchanting appearance a little over a month ago, we have added another 100 wonderful songs to bag of magic that this blog is now transforming into. This segment has been relatively slower, taking exactly thirty two days to complete this leg of the journey. Of course we have an excuse for it. But we are not going to talk about it today. Maybe someday later, hopefully sooner than later. But not today. After getting over with the customary greetings and welcome and congratulations, I want to talk about a friend, a very dear friend. And in our lingua-franca, the term ‘a dear friend’ evidently implies a lover of music.

Mention of the name Mohammed Shafi brings to mind some timeless and peerless classics. The immortal lorie song “Koi Pukare Dhire Se Tujhe” from ‘Mangu’ (1954), is a composition that is difficult to forget.
Remembering music director Mohammed Shafi on the anniversary of his passing away today (30 April).
