His prophetic words proved especially true about conditions in India post Independence. It is an open secret that Nepotism, or helping your friends/relatives with posts or preferences which they may not deserve is a common practice in India.

In the olden days, Radio Ceylon was the catalyst of that kept the memories of old gems of 1930s and 1940s and even early 1950s alive in the minds of listeners. However, one cannot underestimate the contribution of Vivid Bharati in popularising the gems of latter 50s and 60s among the Hindi film songs. In fact, some of the songs from the films which failed miserably in the box office survived in the memories of listeners thanks to Vivid Bharati. I can recall a few such songs that I became aware of because they were often played on Vivid Bharati : tum jo huye mere hamsafar (1958), ye hawa ye fiza ye samaa (1958), baithhe hain rehguzar par dil ka diyaa jalaaye (1959), bahaaron se poochho mere pyaar ko tum (1960), nigaahein na phero chale jaayenge ham,(1960), tum jo aao to pyaar aa jaaye (1962). These are the only teasers and there are many more such songs already covered in this blog.

A lovely duet that has so far not made it to this blog. Two songs from the film ‘Ghar Ghar Ki Baat’ (1959) are already posted here. This here is the third song from this film. A wonderful duet of two hearts in love expressing desires to go together to destinations of happiness and love. The singing voices are of Manna Dey and Lata Mangeshkar. A gem of a song that is a wonderful memory from the days of listening to the radio.
