I can not believe that one year has elapsed since the passing away of Dev Anand. It was a shocking news on that Saturday morning one year ago. My parents had come to visit me and dad is a huge fan of the Dev-Dilip-Raj triumvirate. I had heard this news in the early morning bulletin and conveyed it to my father who had just left for a sight seeing trip. And I conveyed the news as one would convey the bad news about any family member or relative the minute one hears of it. Such was the craze for this charming man that I shared with my dad. Mine was a case more of loving his movies and songs. I do not know exactly when I became aware of Dev Anand movies or songs. But it withered away after I saw his last movie “Censor” on TV (I suppose). After that I gave up keeping track of any Navketan Movie. Even my dad gave up on him. In fact my dad had given up on him in the 1980’s itself. But any way this is not meant to bring down the greatness or the charm of the man. Its just an out pouring of the heart.
