ISM - Memories of our Yesteryear's Old Hit Songs, which I love and hope you all will love so thought why not I take my class mates, trip down memory lane with the collection of beautiful songs, which some times we loved to sing, while in shower or alone in our room.
So while you read my blogs, spend some time, with earphones old Hindi songs, which we used to murmur:
Year 1949: I believe you will love some of my collection of song's starting from "Suhani Raat Dhal Chuki", which was recorded just when I was one year old, by greatest singer of all times (Late Mohammed Rafi Saab) but do not know, why it had been my most emotional song, as I carried with me, till date from when I first started singing in my youth days.
It always brings tears & joys, and make you remember your home, your roots, as for many years, I have lived overseas. Life is here where one lives with his family for one reason or the other, but heart beats for my home, where I grew up at Jangpura Extension. Our home, is today 60 Yrs Old, but rich in its ideals. This song, has been sung by so many, but my favorite collection is here.

Year 1960, when I was studying at Delhi Public School, Mathura Road, New Delhi saw one of the great movies of all times - Chaudhvin Ka Chand - A Guru Dutt production. I recall my parents took the whole family (me, my younger sister and my younger brother) to a business cum holiday trip to Bombay. This film was grossing top box hits that time, and to get entry to cinema hall was so difficult, that people were lining up day in and day out to grab tickets to see this movie. This ran to fully packed houses for several months. The black marketers were making roaring business, when we finally got tickets through my father’s connections in the motor parts industry.

Year 1964, when I was still studying at my Ramjas Higher Secondary School No: 3, Old Delhi when Hindi Movie Sangam was released– A Late Raj Kapoor producttion. We young lads had too much of craze to see some of the hit movies of that times. Almost all songs became hit and few of the songs, I loved and they carried with us. Some of the golden memories are locked, in my heart as then we were turning from young boys to grown up lads.

Year 1966 to 1971: My stay at Indian School of Mines, where we made so many friends, one of them Late Prem Dutt Sharma (Shashtri Jee) (’70 Mining), my next room neighbor in Old Hostel always took me as a companion for almost all old movies hit of yesteryear's era, as his love was same as I had for old songs and old movies of that era from 1950’s to 1970’s when ultimately we passed out. I tried my best to get connected to him, but when I was almost close, I was told by Dinesh Shankar Mathur (Fondly we called him Daddy at school), that he is no more. May his soul rest in peace, we dearly miss you.
I had an opportunity to see some of those movies, which we saw together some old hit ones and some new to our times: Not in any chronological order namely: Mughal - E - Azam, Anarkali, Nagin,Shree 420, Toofan Aur Diya, C.I.D, Mother India, Di Deke Dekho, Ganga Jumna, Junglee, Bees Saal Bad, Mere Mehoob, Taj Mahal, Phir Wohi Dil Layan Hoon, Sangam, Kashmir Ki Kali, Woh Kaun Thi, Arzoo , Guide, Dus Lakh, Love in Tokyo, Ram Aur Shyam, Jewel Thief, An Evening in Paris, Aradhana, Kati Patang, Mere Naam Joker & Tere Mere Sapne, Andaz...
Andaz (Hindi: अन्दाज़, Persian,Urdu: اَنداز) is a 1971 Hindi romantic movie starring Shammi Kapoor, Hema Malini and Rajesh Khanna.
The film was directed by Ramesh Sippy. Music by Shankar-Jaikishan. You will love it. Dedicated to my dear class mates 1971!!

Incidentally, Khargone was the nearest town, where my summer of 1965, was enjoyed with my cousin brother family ( J C Talwar, now retired) , and my parents and my siblings, while I was a young lad of +16 Yrs.

This was the time when my Higher Secondary Board Exams were also published while we were enjoying our summer holidays. Finally next journey, to enter Engineering College was laid, as my cousins were either Engineers or Doctors. Finally, I entered ISM following year, on the basis of All India Exams, in July' 1966.

I had always loved Taj Mahal, for its beauty, master piece, love of Emperor Shah Jahan for his beloved Mumtaz Mahal and no wonder it is one of the 7 Wonders of the World. Due to my love, which I believe all love it, I saw movie Taj Mahal more than dozen times, for its nostalgic love songs and to know history etc. In my life, I also had opportunity to take my many friends at my cost from New Delhi to Agra to this great monument an architectural master craftsmanship.
"Taj Mahal" [1963] is and Indian Hindi film directed by M. Sadiq. Starring Bina Rai and Pradeep Kumar. Music is by Roshan...
Great Song by Late Mohammed Rafi. Awesome & Superb. No words can describe his Greatness & Sweetness of his incomparable golden voice. This song was from romantic love story, ever green film - "TAJ MAHAL". Lyrics by Sahir Ludhyanvi & Music by Roshan. All songs from this film are melodious, full of love & hit of that era.
