Songs to Tickle Your Memory – 19
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
There is a film from 1969 – ‘Tumse Achhaa Kaun Hai”. This film has a classic song, Rafi Sb singing for Shammi Kapoor, that has not yet made it to this blog. (Yes, I am surprised too 🙂 ). The mukhdaa of the song is an animated yet a resigned expression of helplessness – so many ladies to be loved, whom should I love – “Kis Ko Pyaar Karoon, Kaise Pyaar Karoon”. The situation is not too different, when I am trying to select a song for posting here. Atul ji mentions a specific requirement, and as I sit down to choose a song according to that, I find myself in the same quandary – “Kis Ko Post Karoon, Kaise Post Karoon – Ye Bhi Hai, Wo Bhi Hai. . .”.

Bring up and test this, works every time. Looking for a good melodious song that will strum the strings of the heart – just pick an obscure film from 1950s or 60s. If the lyricist and music director and the singer(s) are from the proverbial ‘lesser known’ category, all the better. Just run through the song list of such a film. I promise you will find a memory tickler hidden in there, which will make you exclaim – “achhaa, ye gaana is film ka hai” (“Aha, so this song comes from this film”). I have tried this many times; always been a success.
Take this film, and this song. I have wonderful humming memories of this song from the radio listening days. For all this time, I was unaware of the details. Searching for songs by Chitragupt, I ran into this a few days ago, and had that ‘Aa Haa’ reaction. Wow, so this is it.

Today (24 october 2014) is the birthday of Greta, who is known to most of us as Memsaab of the blog memsaabstory.com. Her blog began in 2007 and it soon became a favourite blog and a meeting place of HFM bloggers. This blog began one year after her blog and I would stumble upon her blog quite frequently during my search for songs. For quite some time I was under the impression that she was a blogger of Indian origin who was based in US. It took me some time to realise that she was an American lady with no previous Indian connections and that she had learnt about Hindi movies from the ground zero up, and that too in just a few years. She in fact describes her initiation into India in general and and Hindi movies in particular in great and interesting details in her blog.

Today (2 october 2014) is the birthday of Mahatma Gandhi and Lal Bahadur Shashtri. And this time it is a day when this day is being celebrated differently. A massive nationwise cleanliness campaign is being launched this day and it is expected to create awareness among masses to keep their premises clean. “swaachh Bharat Swasth Bharat” is the slogan. This is a movement that is launched with the expectation and people will slowly and steadily open their eyes to cleanliness so that in five years time, when we celebrate Mahatma Gandhi’s 150th birth anniversary, India is a clean nation. Amen to that !

There were at least two movies called “Sultana Daaku”. One was produced in 1956 and another in 1972.
Kaifi Azmi (14 january 1919- 10 may 2002), whose 12th death anniversary falls today (10 may 2014) was the lyricist in both these movies. He shared the duty of lyrics writing with three other lyricists in “Sultana Daaku” (1956) whereas he was the only lyricist for “Sultaana Daaku” (1972).

I am aware of “Sharaarat” (1959) as well as “Sharaarat”(1972). These two movies have great music by Shankar Jaikishan and Ganesh respectively.

Remembering Rafi Saab on the anniversary of his passing away today. And also, remembering Dara Singh ji, who left this earthly abode, nineteen days ago, 12 July earlier this month. This song brings to mind the memories of both these stalwarts together.

Indians in the past decades tended to suffer from low self esteem, because India as a country was a “developing nation”, a euphemism for a poor and underdeveloped nation. It was not uncommon for movies to reflect that. Tragedy movies did well at the box office. The hero typically would get bashed up at the hands of the villain throughout the movie.
