Mujhe yaad karne waale
Posted on: January 1, 2009
I had never heard this song. When I listened to it for the first time yesterday, I almost felt like I was listening to a haunting song from “Mera Saaya” or “Woh Kaun Thi”. This song is indeed a Lata-Madan Mohan masterclass, but it is not from the aforementioned movies.

Meri muhabbat jawaan rahegi
Posted on: December 5, 2008
I have just realised that when it comes to love songs in Bollywood, the lyrics do not believe in making small talk, rather they make big talk. The lover would not say such small things like “I love you”, rather he would talk on a much larger scale like how his love is forever, how his love can move mountains, etc.
