While watching very old movies, one big attraction for me is to watch how places looked like in those days. It is especially for this reason that I watch movies of 1950s and earlier.

“Basant Bahar” is a movie that was based on the subject of music itself, like “Baiju Baawra” before it. As can be expected, such movies were full of songs. And all these songs have easily become immortal. There are so many such songs in each of these movies hat one is just amazed. And one thinks about it, all these songs were composed more than half a century earlier. This is what is called longevity. And these songs will not get forgotten anytime soon.

Kishore Kumar as an actor-cum Singer had started to figure in movies in 1950s. In many movies, he was even the hero.
New Delhi (1956) was one such movie. One thing that I epecially find appealing is the fact that one gets to see about Delhi of 1950s in this movie, and that Delhi is so different from the present day Delhi that we know.

It is one of the iconic songs in Bollywood history, one that I have listened to many a times since childhood. That was in 1970s, and now we are in 2008, and this song was from circa 1950s! has this song aged, or has it become less known after all these decades ? No chance. this song continues to be just a popular as any venerable 52 year old song can expect to be. And this song is in good sprightly health too, one that is unlikely to become forgotten with passage of time. It is a timeless classic, there is no doubt about that.

For sleeping, you have options like listening to lories ( if you are young), or counting sheep ( if you are not that young), trying to do homework etc.
But what about waking up ? There is no lori equivalent of songs to choose from when it comes to waking people up. In its absence, people resort to mechanical contraption viz alarm clocks or biological contraption viz ghar ka murga giving “baang” etc.
