I had heard popular songs from ‘Kismet’ (1943) in my childhood. But it took another two decades for me to know that Anil Biswas composed those immortal songs. It was during one of the sittings in my friend’s house sometime in early 70s when I listened for the first time a song from ‘Taraana’ ( 1951)- seene me sulagte hain armaan that I came to know of him as music director. Subsequently,I heard many of his songs from films of 40s and 50s and I started liking those songs. It took me another four decades to know about Anil Biswas’s detailed profile and filmography by which time I realised that he was an institution by himself.

The reason is, today my wife has all the time to supervise over me and sitting at the computer is proving out to be difficult for me. I somehow managed to post one writeup today when she was not looking. Now it is afternoon and she has gone out for her favourite pastime, viz shopping. I refuse to have anything to do with shopping so I have dropped her (and the daughter) to a shopping complex and come back. Assuming that they will be there for three hours, I need to make the most of these three hours to make up for lost time. 🙂

As iconic songs go, this song is as iconic as any. I in fact was under the impression that this song was already discussed and that too long back. But I was wrong of course.
