In this blog, I often get farmaishes (requests) for songs to be discussed. Most of the songs are relatively well known songs and/or songs that are easy to find. The challenge in their case is to try and accomodate them in the blog within the limitation that one can only discuss a few songs in a day.

Though I have discussed as many as seven songs from “Nastik” (1954), I was not aware of this song till a few hours ago.
This song is a bhajan cum public lament. In this song, Ajit, Usha Kiran and others are sitting in a temple in front of the idols of gods and Ajit sings this song. The song states that non believers tend to blame God for their misdeeds, but their efforts to give a bad name to God cannot succeed. God’s flag will always fly high, come what may.

And this wonderful melody is such a superb example. Once again, a song heard many years ago on the radio, and recently rediscovered on YouTube. And what a heartening, foot tapping discovery it is.

Here is a wonderful song that I discovered just now. To be honest I had discovered it some one year back but I had not listened to it and then I had forgotten all about it. Just now I listened to this song and I was amazed at how modern this song sounds even today, even though it is a song from as far back as 1942.
