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.

Ever since ‘Alam Ara’ (1931), the first Indian sound film was released in 1931, songs have become an integral part of our films. The Hindi films produced during the 30s and 40s used to have on anaverage 10-12 songs per film. Naturally, there was a demand for song writers(lyricists). So the producers of the films lured some well known Urdu/Hindi poets of that time to write lyrics of the songs for their films. Since the films were made in Hindustani (a name given by the film fraternity for a language which is a mix of Hindi and some common Urdu words)and some of the producers/directors and music directors were not well versed in this language, the lyricists also acted as guides to them. Some of the well known lyricists of 30s and 40s were, Arzoo Lucknowi, Safdar Aah Sitapuri, Kidar Sharma, Aziz Kashmiri, Behzad Lucknowi, Pandit Indra, Pandit Narendra Sharma, Zia Sarhadi, D N Madhok, P L Santoshi etc. Some of them also wrote scripts/ dialogues for the films.
