In my life so far, I have yet to see a person who is a 100% Atheist. Many people claim that they do not believe in God, but when in difficulty, they pray to God only.

The year is 1948, and the film name – ‘Mala, The Mighty’. The name sounds like a Nadia film. Well, almost. It is a Basant Pictures production directed by John Cowas, but the leading lady is Leela and not Nadia. But any way, a stunt film in the late 1940s, and it is a fair chance that the music director will be Chitragupt. Yes, you got it right.

Sometimes we meet someone, and are so impressed by the personality and the interaction, that we remember that person lifelong. And sometimes fortune plays such games, that we meet someone we think is so wonderfully special, but then life never does bring the same person near us again. Maybe decades will pass, and we occasionally will think of that person, and remember the feeling of goodness we had. But sometimes life is kind, and allows us to meet some such person whom we met long, long ago, and always remembered with fondness.
