It is now been forty one years that she passed away, and all of just 42 years of age. The singer who became a legend in her own lifetime, short as it may have been, just the same as her celebrated spouse.

In fact, Peevesie’s mom, a fellow enthusiast and a fellow sufferer at the hands of her internet supply provider, 🙂 offered her greetings yesterday itself. Another regular, Avinash Scrapwala then pointed it out to her that the birthday (oops, birth anniversary 🙂 ) of the blog fell on 19 july. 🙂

I always thought it was necessary to have some degree of writing pedigree to claim to have the famed “writer’s block” problem but, if the last few days are any indication, apparently this affliction is not limited to the writing community.

“Ye Kis Ki Yaad Aa Gayee, Bahaar Ban Ke Chhaa Gayee” – a lovely rendition by Suraiyya, composed by Hansraj Behl, and the verses created by Anjum Jaipuri. This, and many more such wonderful ghazals and geets have come from the pen of this talented poet, who was equally at home with the adbi shaayari in chaste Urdu, and the songs that he wrote in unsullied Hindi for the many religious and historical films that he wrote for.

Please don’t watch the videos of the film, if you don’t want the ending to be revealed.
