Memories are just like butterflies, they flit in the brain and then they take us to the paths so long from the start point. It happens with me many times even while blogging, then after a while and after lot of digressions, and luckily after reading some earlier senses I catch the main thread but with memories you cant do that always.
In gym for an hour without the WiFi made me real frustrated, otherwise 60 minutes pass like 60 seconds, doing elliptical to the tune of chalia chalia. But that was not to happen. some stray thoughts took me to this song. this is a counterpart of the song sau baar janam lenge from ustadon ke ustaad in terms of haunting melody. I am actually attracted to such songs and earlier when only visual exposure to music was only though chitrahaar, these and such songs etched in the memory.
Like ooi ooi, I remembered bits and pieces of the song. I remembered though that it was sung by Lata mangeshkar. and so I turned to my trusted friend google. But it ended up giving me weird results. couldnt blame him as I had just typed something haphazard. then I hummed in mind (another person was exercising...remember I was in gym at the time) and typed jee ghabraye...jee jal jaye...and I got some results. and then I found the song 'jee ghabaraye dil jal jaye bedardi ab to aa ja', I got to hear it in fleeting and lots of buffering. reminding my self to hear it at home, I finished my gym and headed home. and finally I got it. it was the same song. I didn't get the video though (I remember it was usha kiran who was singing this song though)
The movie name was Badshah (1959) starring mala sinha , Pradeep kumar and Usha kiran. Music was given my shankar jaikishan. honestly all other songs related to movie, I found (and opinions differ) were not that worth remembering, except ofcourse rula kar chal diye sung by hemant kumar (a melancholic treat but not very black...plain melodious).
Another a bit lost song now found its way in my blog. this calls for a treat...icecream anyone??
