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.

When Raja pointed it out to me that today (10 may) was Kaifi Azmi’s death anniversary, I began to look for a few songs to discuss. It may sound easy but searching for a Kaifi Azmi song (or for that matter any other artist’s songs) is not a simple affair if that artist is well represented in the blog. More than one hundred of Kaifi Azmi’s songs have already been discussed in the blog. In other words, most well known Kaifi Azmi songs are already there, and only the lesser known songs remain to be discussed. I have already discussed one such lesser known song of Kaifi Azmi. And here is another song which is also quite an obscure song.

If one forgets important dates in one’s personal life (spouse’s birthday, wedding anniversary etc), then heaven hath no fury like a spouse scorned. My wife has stopped talking to her siblings if they forgot to recall these dates. Fortunately, I get bailed out of such tricky situations by our daughter who remembers these dates.
