In around mid-50s, I used to often hear a song ‘chal chal re musaafir chal’ and I liked it. But I had no idea or rather I never ventured to know as to which film this song belonged. It was sometime in early 70s when I came across an used 78 RPM record of this song that I became aware of the film’s name and other details. The film was POOJA (1954) and it was a kind of surprise to me that the film which had Shanker-Jaikishan as music director had become an obscure film. No doubt, this film is yet to make a debut in this blog. Recently, I heard some more songs from this film on the internet. What a treasure of songs the film had.

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.

I first became aware of Prem Dhawan in 1970s as the lyricist of the immortal patriotic song Jahan daal daal par sone ki chidiya karti hai baseraa from Sikandar e Azam. This song was composed by Hansraj Bahl. Subsequently I got to hear a few more songs which were written by Prem Dhawan and composed by Hansraj Bahl. Then I became aware of “Shaheed” (1965) and “Pavitra Paapi”(1970), where Prem Dhawan was the lyricist as well as the music director. And what nice song these two movies had !

A seashore with sand beaches and sun shine with some outcroppings of rocks and trees of palms or coconut is a dream destination for a holiday. And if the climate is moderate and not too hot, one can just keep looking at the blue gold and green black hues and not bother to disturb anything, not even the waves.

Earlier today, in another post I had mulled over the decline of films with mythological themes. Extending that concern further, I would also include the theme of Muslim religious and social films, which seem to be on the decline. Once again, in the 90s and later, I cannot really recall any significant film based on Islamic social and religious values.
