When the dark clouds cover the sky, big lightnings enlighten  the
large area ; anyone would like to have a loving company. But what
about those who are  away  from  their  dear  ones  ?  They  find
lonelyness  a  curse.  Our  poets  have  expressed both the moods
exceptionally well. Of those who are together and  of  those  who
are 'preshit bhartruk' (Mahakavi Kalidas' ; in case of a woman).

        Song: Ghir Ghir Ke Aayi Badaria, Saajanawa Na Ja
                Rote Hain Nain  Baware,  Inhe  Samaza  Ja....Ghir
Ghir Ke

        Film:   Ek Thi Ladaki (1949)
        Music:  Vinod
        Lyrics: Aziz Kashmiri
        Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
        *ing:   Meena K. Shorey, Motilal

There will sure be complains to not to honour  the  'Lara  Lappa'
number as the first one to get a berth in ATMJH series, from this
film. But....  This one has  typical  Panjabi  tune  as  one  can
expect  from  Vinod.  Lata was still in her teen, I suppose, when
recording would have occurred. As her voice is  still  not  quite
the  voice of Lata we know. But even than we love this early Lata
voice too. In orchestra, if you want to call it, are just violins
and  tabala  and  ,common in that time, harmonium. Still, song is
very sweet. Film has one very good Lata-Rafi duet. I will talk of
that after current RJGK (#32) is over. (As I promise to Kalyan to
talk on them.)

Note: Today's ATMJH is dedicated to Pt. Bharat Vyas on his  death
anniversary.
