Once again, apologies for another gap in communications from my side. On the previous Sunday, i.e. 6th May, Nalin ji presented his program ‘Yaadon Ka Safar’ here in Delhi. The program lasted for about four and half hours, with a break in between. The evening was a very nostalgic and emotional journey through the earlier decades of Hindi film and film music, and with the amount of details and anecdotes that Nalin ji carries in his memory, the program was also very informative.

Munshi Premchand (31 July 1880- 8 october 1936) was a premier Hindi novelist whose novels and stories have had an enormous influence on modern Hindi literature. When I look at his literary output, I am amazed at his vision. His vision was unbelievably progressive and futuristic, especially considering the era he lived in (late 19th century to early 20th century).

This time I have found a very rare duet sung by Asha Bhonsle and Mohammed Rafi. It is from the film “Minister”(1959). The song is written by Rajendra Krishan and composed by Madan Mohan. I have not heard or seen this song before. But it is a nice and funny song performed on screen by Tun Tun and Bhagwaan. It is the eternal fight between husbands and wives, which holds good across cultures world wide. Wife accusing husband of being irresponsible and careless and husband complaining that wife is always ready for a fight and doubting the husband at every turn.

Chanda ke paas ik taara

Sometimes a rhythm, a tune just sticks into the mind and keeps replaying itself over and over again. This is what has happened, when I bumped into this song two days ago. I was preparing for a write up on Shailendra, having identified other songs (which I will post later now). And then found this song – “dar a dad a daa a dad daaraa, chandaa ke paas ik taara”. The rhythm just refuses to go away from my mind, even though it is a tongue twisting formation, and the mind does stumble sometimes, when trying to go over it. A real foot tapping, ear catching melody that just stays with you once you have heard it.

Philosophical songs is a genre of songs that are calming to the nerves and they help us see things in perspective and make us realise that we are mere specks in the grand scheme of things and so one should not entertain delusions of grandeur about oneself. We are mere puppets and someone far more omnipotent is running the show.
