Hindi movies had some memorable “chana zor garam” songs beginning from as early as 1940. The first chana zor garam song was Chane jor garam babu in “Bandhan” (1940). The next such song came up in 1956 which was Chana zor garam babu main laayaa mazedaar in “Naya Andaaz”(1956). The next “Chana zor” song came up in “Kraanti”(1981).

Though Mumbai gangout happened nearly a month ago (on 21 december 2014), details about it are slow in coming. I wrote about my preparations to join this meet in this article on 3 january 2015. Then nothing happened for several days. I was pleasantly surprised to see an entertaining writeup from Sudhir ji on 13 january 2015 in which he describes his experiences from the planning stage till his arrival at the venue on the D day.

The above wonderful writeup has now inspired me to write the second part of my own take on this meet. So here is goes.

Chilly winter greetings to all from a cold, cold Delhi. As I sit and write this post, the minimum temperature that continues to be maintained is in the range of 2 – 4 degrees C.  Add to that the fog that keeps the warm sun away from the view.  And top it up with rain that has been visiting us off and on.  When I woke up today morning, it was drizzling.  And the leaves of the trees waving in a brisk breeze told the story that it is going to be another chilly day.  And so it has been for the past couple of weeks.  Although I enjoy such weather, but there have been other circumstances, associated with the weather, that have kept me occupied and away from the blog activities.  But today, we must celebrate.

I had not heard the name the film “Pathan’ (1962) until I came across the songs on this Blog itself. However, I had heard two songs from this movie sung by Talat Mehmood which were popular on the radio in the 60s. One of Talat Mehmood songs chaand mera baadalon mein kho gaya has already been covered in the Blog. Not much of the information on the film is available on the internet sources other than star cast and songs. IMDB has tagged this film as family drama. The film may have been bombed at the box office and became obscure over a period of time.
