This post is in response to a comment and a farmaish posted by Lalitha ji more than two years ago on 6th January, 2009 (details further down).

Children’s Day is variously celebrated in different parts of the world, on different days. In India, it is celebrated on this day (14th November) every year. (This day also is the birth anniversary of the first Prime Minister of India, Jawaharlal Nehru.) There are other dates on which International Children’s Day (1st June) and Universal Children’s Day (20th November) are celebrated. 20th November is the day on which the Declaration of the Rights of the Child was adopted by UN General Assembly in 1959.

In this post I present a qawwaali written by Sahir Saab. In the string of qawwaalis, I had some time back posted the iconic qawwaali from the film Kaala Samunder (1962), with the mukhdaa (title) “Meri Tasweer Le Kar Kyaa Karogey Tum” . There is one more qawwaali from the same film, not as well known, and is somewhat rare and obscure. But then, bless this YouTube that I am able to trace this qawwaali finally.

Something providential in the coincident that today is the birth anniversary of two wonderful dancers and performers of the Hindi silver screen. Yes, today, 21st October is the day that both Shammi Kapoor and Helen share as their date of birth. And not that it is a strange or unique occurrence. Many people share their dates of birth with many other known, even renowned people. But I single out this occurrence as special – these two wonderful people have been contemporaries in the film industry, they have performed together in many movies, and the most important, both of them represent that combination of energy and fun and delight and enjoyment that is unique to their theatrical personae.
