Today’s song is from a religious film Ishwar Bhakti-1951. The other name for this film was ” Shani Mahatmya”.

There are certain words/phrases in our religion which terrorise the common innocent people, who have total faith but not much knowledge about their religion. But then, there are such people in almost every religion. On an average only about 10-15 % people in any religion will be found who have read their religious books completely. Most people tend to depend on the Pujaris, Mullas, Priests and other religious heads to spoon-feed them about their religion. Now don’t ask me how many of these religious heads have read their religious books !

The decade of the 1950s was a time when, having got our independence in 1947, the whole nation was now busy reconstructing our country to our choice. This was the time when family values, importance of joint families, religion, law and order, Nehru’s socialistic pattern etc. were being reestablished. With all this, the turmoil in the society could not be isolated. It had its effects on the social atmosphere, markets, businesses, housing and of course the films.

Today (13 June 2023)is the birth centenary of Prem Dhawan (13 June 1923-7 May 2001).

When I was growing up, I knew him as the lyricist of patriotic songs. Among his most well known songs to me were “O mera rang de basanti chola” from “Shaheed”(1965), “Ae mere pyaare watan tujhpe dil qurbaan” from “Kabuliwala”(1961) and “Chhodo kal ki baaten kal ki baat puraani” from Hum Hindustani(1960). Though I knew him mainly as a lyricist, sometimes he would double up as lyricist cum music director, as in “Shaheed”(1965) and “Pavitra Paapi”(1970).

Today’s song is from the film ‘Teen Bhai’ (1955).

In every person’s life there are happy and memorable events which he enjoys remembering till his last day. Like others, I too have few such memorable events in my life. Few events are – like the day when I saw my name in newspapers when I came into the XII std. Merit List, the day I married the girl of my choice and the day I rose from the post of a Medical Representative to take over as a Director on the Board of a couple of Pharma Companies, etc.
