Enjoyed your post on Ghoda Gaadi songs. A...Anuji,<br /><br />Enjoyed your post on Ghoda Gaadi songs. As soon as I saw the heading, the first song that came up in my mind was Maang ke saath tumhara. <br /><br />Ghoda Gaari songs are quite romantic. I remember our college days when we used to go to Victoria (the area around Victoria Memorial in Calcutta) to have a ride in the Ghora Gaadi with our girl friends. We had our fixed coachwans, occasionally the GFs changed! We had fun and felt romantic then, but never dared to burst into songs. On afterthought, we should have tried something classical, like Asha at the end of #9! Well can’s set the clock back and now I feel it is too late!<br /><br />The romantic couples in your songs had to wait till #7 to have privacy. They had someone or the other for company till then. Mukri and Nadria’s side-kick (#1), Sunder at the reign (#2), Daisy Irani in hiding (#3), S<br />N Banerjee and the coachwan (#5), again the coachwan in #6. Bharat Bhusan and Amita, Manoj Kumar and Sharmila and Dara Singh and Mumtaz were fortunate enough to spend the time together. It does not really matter in #4, since the situation was not exactly romantic. But in the last song there was the entire crowd for company! By the way in all the songs the carriages were single horse drawn, while in song #1 and #9, there were two horses.<br /><br />I remember two occasions. A few years after my marriage, myself and my (one and the only) wife arrived at Madhupur by train on a cold moon lit midnight. We travelled cuddled together by a Ekka gaadi from station to our place of stay. The second occassion, soon after passing out from the college, I went Hubli in Dharwar district of Karnataka. My train companion, who happened to be a lady, suggested that we travel by an Ekka gaadi, since the Ekka-chalaks know the localities well. But our journey ended uneventful at our respective<br />destinations! <br /><br />Sorry for the nostalgic gabble. Enjoyed the songs posted by other readers. Now let me add a song.<br /><br />The song Dekha Maine Dekha Rup Ki Ek Rani Ko from Victoria No.203 (1972) does not fit the criteria set by you. I think this one qualifies. It is the Hindi version of ‘Prithivi Badle Geche’ from Ananda Ashram (1977). Indeed the world and times have changed.<br /><br />Raahi Naye Naye by Kishore Kumar, film Ananda Ashram (1977), lyrics Indeevar, music Shyamal Mitra<br /><br />https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ar8zvJDgoIY<br /><br />ThanksN Venkataramannoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-61619722838701820962014-04-25T16:07:55.095-04:002014-04-25T16:07:55.095-04:00Ok, you have redeemed yourself.

...I'm glad you liked most of my list, AK. :) <br /><br /><br /><br />As for Nargis, I'm pretty sure that she is not too fond of Dilip even before he begins singing this song, and is not too particularly happy that he doesn't seem to take 'no' for an answer. And even after the song, she is definitely not in love with him, even though she was fond of him as a child. <br /><br /><br /><br />But I'm not about to watch <i>Deedar</i> again just to prove it. :) Once was enough!Anu Warrierhttp://anuradhawarrier.blogspot.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-31850869157826005832014-04-21T23:30:50.935-04:002014-04-21T23:30:50.935-04:00Ai -la!

Delighted to find <i>Bheega bheega pyar ka sama</i> here. <i>Saawan</i> had such gorgeous music - <i>Nain dwaar se aake wo man mein, Kanha chhedo bansuri, Dekho bina saawna baras rahi badri</i> etc.<br />#4. Your description that "She (Nargis) by now is not at all in love with Dilip" creates an impression that she has since consciously moved away from him. Actually, it is a case of her childhood memories being buried deep in subconscious. That is why, Rafi version of the song makes her restless, bringing her on the verge of 'awakening' several times, but she is pulled back from tipping over. Ashok Kumar, who has now understood everything, is worried that her fiancée may just remember her childhood connection to the song. This makes him vacillate between an altruistic doctor and a jealous lover.<br />AKSongs Of Yorenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2309362817539389132.post-21839299913979706162014-04-21T10:45:12.660-04:002014-04-21T10:45:12.660-04:00I have it all on a playlist for your convenience. ...I have it all on a playlist for your convenience. :) Why is your brain over-worked?
