Hindi movie songs are reputed to be sung by the hero and heroine while running around trees. But what happens when the lady has injured herself and is unable to even walk, let alone run ? Does the hero abandon her and runs around trees with some other lady ? Not if the hero is Sunil Dutt. Sunil Dutt is one hero who would take care of his ladies in their moments of need.

Today is second october, which is an important day in India. It was on this day that Mahatma Gandhi, regarded as father of the nation, was born in 1869. Another important leader, Lal Bahadur Shashtri, was also born on the same day in 1904.

There are people who think that Asha Bhonsle mostly sang light songs (cabarat etc) and she did not sing “serious” songs or song based on classical raagas. Of course that is not correct. Most songs in Hindi movies are indeed based on some Raag. The singers and music directors, whether they are trained or not follow the framework of raagas, unless it is a western song that they are composing.

I have posted many songs in this blog where the hero and heroine are going on a drive and the hero (if he is a singing type, viz Dev Anand) bursts into a song. Then we have cases of historical/ mythological movies where the duo are riding on a chariot. If the hero is a non-singing type (like Dara Singh) then the onus of singing falls on the tender shoulders of the heroine (typically Mumtaz).

There are people who preach us to save for a rainy day. If you talk to me about saving for a rainy day,I will reel off the list of songs picturised on a rainy day to try and prove that rainy days are as much fun as sunny days. If one does not save for a sunny day, then why should one do so for a rainy day ? One should instead enjoy rainy days by getting drenched in the rain instead of hiding indoors. Next thing you know, the same people may ask us to save for a moonlit night saying that nights are for going to bed !

I can watch songs of a movie any number of times. On the other hand, I find watching the same movie a waste of my time. Perhaps I have become “mature” with time. As a sign of this “maturity”,I would rather spend three hours trying to get the lyrics of a song right than watch the movie containing this song which may take less time.:D

I have talked about “teasing” songs in Bollywood movies. In these songs, the boy typically would tease a girl outdoors. But I just realised that this teasing can take place even indoors, and that too in the presence of others. Yes, get together songs offer an ideal opportunity to the boy to tease the girl in full public glare.

This is a song that I have heard many a times in my younger days. I was only aware of the fact that this song is sung by Rafi and Asha Bhonsle, but that was all I knew about this song.
