Today (25 july 2013) is the birth anniversary of Sudhir Phadke (25 july 1919- 29 july 2002). While searching for a Sudhir Phadke song to discuss on this occasion, I stumbled upon the movie called “Apradhi” (1949). I recall this movie as a delightful movie because I have seen portions of it while discussing a song from this movie(Apraadhi) in the past.

Five years of rediscovery, five years of getting to know, all so much that we didn’t know – the films, the songs, the people, the times, the circumstances. Five amazing years of finding long lost gems, songs we had heard decades ago on the radio – ah, the exhilaration of meeting someone, whom you never thought you would ever be able to meet again. Five fabulous years of meeting new sounds that one has never heard before. And wonder, where was I all these years, and where have all these wonderful songs been hiding.
