At any moment of time, I have lots and lots of contributions lying with me for discussion and I am unable to cope with them satisfactorily. I just realised that it is like sitting on a pile of gems and not finding time to appreciate them.

Yesterday, I was showing off my knowledge to a couple of regulars of this blog in private by telling them that “Chor Machaaye Shor”(1974) had six songs, and five of them were very well known, but the sixth song was quite less known. Then I boasted that I was going to post this rare song in the blog today.

This article is written by Raja, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a regular contributor to this blog.
Recently I wrote up a 1970s song here and today I’m presenting another 1970s song.
I know that by the standards of this blog, the 1970s is a fairly recent decade. Most of the songs here are from an earlier period – and I love this because it gives me an opportunity to listen to, and learn about, so many forgotten gems of an earlier era. I will never forget the thrill I got when I heard “halla gulla lai la (Dholak – 1951)” for the first time – it has since become one of my FAVOURITE songs! Actually I’d always been interested in old songs but thanks to the internet and this blog, my interest has not only been encouraged, it has also been sharpened in the last few years.

“Parinay” (1974) was an Art film. In other words it was a low budget film whose makers were so broke that they could not hire big names. So they made do with out of job artists. The actors of this movie were all newcomers, viz Shabana Azmi, Romesh Sharma, Asha Sachdev, Dinesh Thakur Preeti Ganguly, T.P.Jain etc. I remember watching a still of Shabana Azmi from this movie. It was obvious that the movie makers were too broke to even afford makeup men. Shabana Azmi looked ugly and I wondered how a lady with that looks can ever be chosen to work in Hindi movies, and that too as the leading lady.

The regulars of the blog know it by now that I miss no opportunity to gloat about my pets. And such opportunities present themselves in the form of songs featuring dogs and cats. My pets seem to have become popular, guazing by the fact that regulars tell me about various dog songs that they come across.
