It is perhaps the inability of our times to distinguish between the “good” and the “great”, the “noteworthy” and the “legendary”, the “impressive” and the “brilliant”, that leads us to use the latter of the two adjectives in each case in far greater measure, and for far more modest achievements than would have been approved of by an earlier generation.

This blog has more than one hundred “Helen” songs. In these songs, Helen would typically perform a cabarat dance and the hero would be seated on a table in the bar where this dance is being performed. I recently begin to wonder whether one can count the number of heroes who figure in such picturisations. I can recall many names right from Ashok Kumar (Howrah Bridge-1958) to Amitabh Bachchan (several movies). Then I reminded myself that Helen had started her cabarat dancing career in 1950s when the three big heroes were Dilip Kumar, Raj Kapoor and Dec Anand.

Being a music lover in the past was not as easy as it is today. Music was not as easily accessible to people as it is today. For most people, radio was the most affordable means of listening to music. And as one can guess, one could only listen to songs that the radio stations decided to play at their own nominated times. One could have record players too, but they were expensive and only the most well off people could afford them.
