#242         Song: Gardish Me  Hon  Taare,  Na  Ghabraana  Pyaare
                Gar Tu Himmat Na Haare, To Honge Waare Nyaare

        Film:   Reshmi Rumal (1958)          Music:  Bipin  Babul
        Lyrics: Raja   Mehadi   Ali  Khan          Singer: Mukesh
        *ing:   Manoj Kumar, Mala Sinha?

This one is a favourite since my childhood. In  1970-1971  was  a
regular  on  radio.  (To some) It may not be the best song of the
film, yet is good enough to remember when we  have  just  past  a
milestone! Lyrics, singing and music all keeps a high tempo. Just
look at:

        Baazuon   Me   Dum   Hai   Phir   Kaahe   Ka   Gum    Hai
                Aahani    Iraade   Hain,   Umange   Hain   Jawaan
        Mushkilen Kahaan Hain, Unhe Mera Dil Pukaare ...

Isn't it  true  that,  art  actually  reflects  the  contemporary
sociological (and perhaps economical too) currents ? Doesn't this
song reflect peace, courage and joy all  at  a  time  --  a  true
reflection  of nation just after a decade of independence ? Hope,
we again witness similar --  cheerful and prosperous India soon!

PS: Aaj Raksha Bandhan ke tyauhaar par, sab ko shubh-kaamnaaen!
