Whenever I am reminded of “Jaagte Raho”(1956), I am reminded of the wonderful drunkard song from this movie which is sung by Mukesh and picturised on Motilal. This song,Zindagi khwaab hai is picturised on a fully drunk Motilal swaying merrily in empty streets and going towards his home, with Raj Kapoor looking on.

A few days back, my wife lamented that our daughter takes her for granted and does not take her suggestions seriously(mujhe ghar ki murgi samajhti hai). What is new about it, I thought to myself, because my wife too takes me for granted. :). And in turn, both of us often underestimate our daughter.

Here is yet another song of the “how come this song was not discussed earlier” genre. This evergreen song from “Sangam” (1964) added a new term to the Hindi lexicon, viz “Buddha Mil Gaya” to indicate mismatched pairings where the boy is many years senior to the girl. Such pairings were not unusual till a few decades back. This phrase was used in the title of a 1971 movie as well. And if I remember correctly, one song (either this song or another song from “Buddha Mil Gaya” (1971)) found itself in troubles with Indian censors. I have forgotten which song it was and I request our knowledgeable readers to throw more light on this matter.
