I wonder if someone has ever tried to analyse why people like some songs and not other songs. Why do some songs become timeless classic while others are forgotten after their initial run.

Yesterday, Atul ji has posted a song whose lyrics were sent in by Prakash ji. The song –“Kaise Mitti Ke Maadho Se Paala Padaa” . On screen, it is Leena Chandavarkar trying to woo an apparently unwilling Sanjeev Kumar who seemingly does not understand the moves she is making and the words she is singing. Or maybe he does, but is choosing to remain aloof and unconcerned. I remember this song from the radio listening days, but I saw the video only today. And as soon as the song started, and Leena Chandavarkar started to sing out her complaints to her ‘beau fatale’, I immediately recalled another song – same era, same pair of actors on screen, the same complaint. Well one difference, the mood in the song that I refer to, is a bit more explicit, and a bit more demanding.

I do not know as to why I suddenly remembered Sanjeev Kumar (real name Haribhai Jariwala) today early in the morning when I was preparing for my morning walk. His anniversary dates were nowhere near and I have not seen any of his films and video clips for a long time. As it is, my ‘area of operations’ on YT are mainly confined to the watching/listening of video/audio clips pertaining to the period between 1940-1960, straying sometime up to late 60s and most of his his songs does not fit in to my preference. Probably, this was a reminder to me from Sanjeev Kumar donning a white suit and trouser in true suspense film style echoing “old man, have a peep at me too sometime”.
