Indian classical music has raagas for different periods of time- viz morning raags, evening raagas etc. I have little understanding of them, but when it comes to Bollywood music, there is one category of songs which I have created for myself. I call it “chaayageet” category songs.

I have mentioned in the past that I had a diary in 1970s, in which I noted down the lyrics of the songs that I liked the most. A few of the songs noted at that time have become forgotten, though they are just as good to listen to now as they were then.

This song is one of the earliest hits of Rafi. It came about in 1949 in a movie called Dulari and it went a long way in establishing Rafi as the most sought after male playback singer for the next two decades.

Rafi’s singing in this song set the tone for the modern way of singing playback songs in Bollywood which continues to be followed to this date.

Younger music lovers of Bollywood music may not have heard of music director Shamji Ghanshamji. And very little information is available on him in internet.

Readers may have noticed that I have used the word him, and not they for Shamji Ghanshamji. Yes, it was one single individual, who had named himself that way, perhaps to give his name an appearance similar to that of Kalyanji Ananadji.
