Indians in the past decades tended to suffer from low self esteem, because India as a country was a “developing nation”, a euphemism for a poor and underdeveloped nation. It was not uncommon for movies to reflect that. Tragedy movies did well at the box office. The hero typically would get bashed up at the hands of the villain throughout the movie.

It is said that among the domesticated animals, dogs have a special bonding with human beings. They can anticipate their masters’ mind and act accordingly. During my childhood, we had cats as pet but not the dogs. However, we always had some street dogs around us who were like pets to us. While our pet cats’ loyalty was suspect, I always found street dogs around us very loyal. Theyalso had the ability of assessing the degree of our docility and act accordingly.

‘Poonam Ki Raat’ (1965) – a film that is rich in wonderful songs. The lyrics from the pen of Shailendra and the lilting tunes from the baton of Salil Chaudhry, have made almost all songs of this film as wonderful gems. Three songs from the film are already represented here – the soulful and pensive rendering of “Dil Tadpe Tadpaaye” by Rafi Saab, the fabulous, ritzy dance number “Ta Dhim Tana Dhim. . .” that only Asha Bhosle can do, and the haunting sounds of “Saathi Re. . . Tujh Bin Jiyaa Udaas Re” in the voice of Lata Mangeshkar. So now it is the turn of a romantic duet to follow. And this song here is one wonderful melodious creation, with voices of Mukesh and Lata Mangeshkar.

Well I think the main reason could be that there are so many such wonderful gems still out there that I am sure we are going to continue rediscovering them and posting them here, for a long time still to come. And yet, on listening to this particular song, memories of the radio listening days are revived and the mind says, where has this song be sitting for all these years.
