O meri laadli pyaari behna

It is the day of Raakhi festival (Raksha bandhan) today and we saw in one song that a man was lamenting the fact that he did not have a sister of his own. But it is not necessary for a man to have a real sister of his own for the purpose of rakhi. Indian mythology is full of tales of unrelated men being sent rakhi by women and they fougtht to protect the honour of their rakhi sisters. Hindi movies too show girls tie rakhi on the wrists of strangers and they prove to be more loyal that their real brother.

Today is the day of Rakhi festival, when sisters tie rakhi on the wrist of their brothers. It is assumed that every sister has a brother and vice versa. But that cannot be the case all the time. Just spare a thought for those men who do not have sisters !

Atul has just brought to my notice that Kishore Kumar’s birthday falls on 4th August. He wanted me to write up a song on this occasion – how could I possibly refuse? For one, it is for Atul’s blog and therefore an honour to be part of it in any possible way. Secondly, it is for Kishore da – and he’s always been close to my heart too. So there was no second thought – and here I am, typing away furiously on my keyboard.

“Bandish” (1980) was a movie starring Rajesh Khanna and Hema Malini. This was a Rajesh Khanna movie in his second phase as an actor after he had lost his superstardom. He tried very hard to regain his superstardom, but it was too late for him by that time. Typically his stellar performance in these movies would meet wit lukewarm response from movie goers. It was in such stark contrast to the response of public in his superstardom days when his appearance in the credits of a movie was all that was needed to bring in the crowds.

Like any young pre teen kid growing up in late 1960s and early 1970s, I was learning new things every day. I would listen to songs blaring from loudspeakers and from radios. It was one fine evening in 1960s that I heard a song coming out from the radio. I had never heard this song before, and I loved the song instantly and unconditionally, as kids tend to do.
