If one has to classify songs on the basis of their popularity then we have extremely well known timeless classics on the one end of scale to totally obscure forgotten gems on the other end of the scale. In fact, one can liken them to human settlements, that vary from extremely densely populated to extremely thinly populated. So one can say that iconic well known songs like “Mere sapnon ki raani kab aayegi tu” is like a metropolitan city, say Mumbai. On the other end, we have deserted places that few people know about. Visiting some of these thinly populated/ deserted places could be extremely rewarding. Forgotten songs of Hindi movies are very much like that.

The Voice of Mukesh #29
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –
The tapestry of the fables of love is never compete without the legendary saga of the flame and the moth – much better represented in the Urdu zubaan as Shama aur Parwaana. Somehow, the English equivalents of some of the more profound words and concepts in Hindi and Urdu, simply do not carry the same weight and substance. The English equivalents are a poor excuse to express that which is alien to that language. Shama and Parwaana are an example of such translation dilemmas. There seems to be no adequately authoritative word in the English language to convey the same sentiments in totality.
