Here is one more song of the popular unofficial genre viz “how come this song was not posted earlier” 🙂 . During my younger days I was only into listening current songs and any song created before 1968 was old song for me. then one fine day in mid 1970s I decided to become mature, viz. become interested in old songs. It was then that I learnt about O P Nayyar. The fact that he made his career without using the voice of Lata voice impressed me a lot. Then I heard O P Nayyar compositions from movies like “CID”(1956), “Naya Daur”(1957) etc.

I am aware of a joke where a Pathan from Afghanistan saw the poster of “Chiraag Kahaan Roshni Kahaan” and went to the movie hall hoping to see a movie depicting the tale of two Khans namely Chiraag Khan and Roshni Khan :).

The mention of the title “Chaudhvin Ka chaand” (1960) is enough for one to recall the title song of this movie which I was aware of for as long as I can remember. That is how popular this song was. Let me hasten to add that I was not born when this movie and its songs were released, but I recall hearing this song in late 1960s. Other songs of this movie were also popular , but unlike the above mentioned song, they did not contain the title, so I was not aware that they also belonged to the same movie.

“Jahaan Ara”(1964) is a movie that flopped big time at the box office. This movie was not meant for ordinary movie goers and the people appreciative of such movies did not add up to much those days.

“Akeli Mat Jaiyyo” (1963) was no great shakes as a movie. even people as patient as Raja (a regular of this blog) found this movie insufferable when he watched this movie and felt obliged to inform me of this fact when we met last year.

When one talked of “Black Cats” two decades ago, one meant the elite commandos who protect VVIPs. These days they are called SPG (special protection group). But in the distant past, black Cat actually meant “kaali billi”, and there was this belief that a black cat crossing your path when you are going out somewhere was bad omen. As it is, I have a black cat for a pet and that black cat must have crossed my path hundreds of time by now, that is when it is not seated on places like my lap, my laptop, sofa, bed, mat etc.
