It is said that among the domesticated animals, dogs have a special bonding with human beings. They can anticipate their masters’ mind and act accordingly. During my childhood, we had cats as pet but not the dogs. However, we always had some street dogs around us who were like pets to us. While our pet cats’ loyalty was suspect, I always found street dogs around us very loyal. Theyalso had the ability of assessing the degree of our docility and act accordingly.

The year is 1972, and Salil Da has completed two decades in the film industry. Making his debut with the 1953 Bimal Roy production, ‘Do Bigha Zameen’, he continues to be a fairly busy music director in the early 70s. Somewhat unassuming, somewhat low key, his creations continue to catch one’s ear as well as one’s fancy. During the 50s and 60s, he has made his mark with such films that have become memorable on account of his music – ‘Biraj Bahu’ (1954), ‘Jaagte Raho’ (1956), ‘Musaafir’ (1957), ‘Ek Gaon Ki Kahaani’ (1957), ‘Madhumati’ (1958), ‘Parakh’ (1960), ‘Chhaayaa’ (1961), ‘Kabuliwaala’ (1961), ‘Half Ticket’ (1962), ‘Poonam Ki Raat’ (1965) etc. The seventies have emerged and Salil Da already has films like ‘Anand’ (1971) and ‘Mere Apne’ (1971) under his belt. In 1972, his melodies from ‘Annadaata’ are making waves on the radio. In 1972, Salil Da will also compose for two more films that did not get retained on the memory cards of the listening public. One is ‘Sabse Bada Sukh’ that has two wonderful songs. And the second is an even more obscure film, ‘Anokha Daan’, which carried as many as five superb melodies.
