14th January is Late Chitragupta's death anniversary. As promised
long back, I will post few songs of this composer starting today.

        Song: Chaand Ne Kuchh Kaha, Taarno Ne Kuchh Suna
                Baat Hi Baat Me, Jaane Kya Ho Gaya

        Film:   Daka (1959)
        Music:  Chitragupta
        Lyrics: Prem Dhawan
        Singer: Hemant Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar
        *ing:   ?

I have heard only this song from the film; but what a mesmerising
one!  Some  western  tunes  creating  indian  mood!  Listening to
Hemant-Lata duets, such as this, during night time, gives immense
pleasure.  I  don't  know if this is because one becomes familiar
with them during Sunday night programmes on  Radio  Ceylone,  and
they  sound  very  good  on  Bush's/Murhpy's  radios operating on
valves. I associate with "Hamesh Jawan" not only songs, but  also
this  seemingly unimportant things, like radio receiver sets too!
I have bought one such set just to remember these songs,  I  used
to hear a lot till 1970s.
