Here is one more song of the popular unofficial genre viz “how come this song was not posted earlier” 🙂 . During my younger days I was only into listening current songs and any song created before 1968 was old song for me. then one fine day in mid 1970s I decided to become mature, viz. become interested in old songs. It was then that I learnt about O P Nayyar. The fact that he made his career without using the voice of Lata voice impressed me a lot. Then I heard O P Nayyar compositions from movies like “CID”(1956), “Naya Daur”(1957) etc.

Philosophical songs is a genre of songs that are calming to the nerves and they help us see things in perspective and make us realise that we are mere specks in the grand scheme of things and so one should not entertain delusions of grandeur about oneself. We are mere puppets and someone far more omnipotent is running the show.
