There are several Bollywood songs that I have heard and enjoyed, without knowing much about those songs except the names of the singers.

“Half Ticket” was a laugh riot featuring Kishore Kumar and Pran. The movie had a heroine too, but I am not able to recall her name, that is how Kishore and Pran centric this movie was. Pran would for ever be after Kishore Kumar much like cartoon characters Tom and Jerry ( or replace their names by any other set of cartoon characters).

This song appears quite a women’s lib song to me, at least by Indian standards. The song shows Tanuja singing this song which basically means that flower has blossomed in the garden , but the bees have not yet arrived.

It is a song that I informally call “mental massage” song. This kind of songs makes me forget the tensions of the world and make for a refreshing change. In brief, this does the same for the mind as a nice massage does for the body.

Here is a duet sung by Talat Mahmood and Lata. The typical quivering voice of Talat Mahmood on Sunil Dutt may sound a bit odd now, but this did not stop this song from becoming very popular. Lata sings for Asha Parekh, then a newcomer. This song is composed by Salil Chowdhary, and the lyricist Rajinder Krishan came up with very nice and hummable lyrics.

1970s saw the emergence of small budget family entertainers sans fights and violence. Amol Palekar and Vidhya Sinha were two of the leading “stars” of such movies. Two of their most memorable movies together were “Rajnigandha” and “Chhoti si baat”. These two movies can infact be treated as extensions of each other, that is how much these two movies had in common.

It is one Mukesh song that is not really a sad or maudlin song. It is more like a song that reminisces about the past and takes stock of days gone by. The protagonists have tender feelings for each other, but they are too diffident to express themselves.
One can notice that the language used in this song is textbook Hindi, rather than textbook Urdu that has been the traditional lingua franca of Bollywood songs. And this attempt of Yogesh has proved very effective.

There are songs that become very popular when they are released and they then go on to become all time great memorable songs. Then there are songs which become pupular dutring their time but they graduually become forgotten as time passes. Future generations grow up without being aware of the existence of such songs.

For sleeping, you have options like listening to lories ( if you are young), or counting sheep ( if you are not that young), trying to do homework etc.
But what about waking up ? There is no lori equivalent of songs to choose from when it comes to waking people up. In its absence, people resort to mechanical contraption viz alarm clocks or biological contraption viz ghar ka murga giving “baang” etc.
