Hindi songs of Emotional Impact - nostalgic, favorites etc

[rajraj]

Songs from Aah were very popular and here is one that has something special. Mukesh sings and acts as horse drawan cart 'driver':



The horse drawn cart brings back memories from my college days. We (four of us commuting students) used to hire a horse drawn for 8 annas and divide it equally, two annas each. That was to cover the distance from the railway station to the college we attended. Two annas those days bought a piece of wheat halwa for tiffin in the evening. Coffee was one and a half anna. That was considered luxury!

rajraj sir,
Very nice to read your golden memories and nostalgic moments. Please continue writing sir about your memories, so that we will know more about those days! I remember seeing annas (from my grandfather's Olai purse), but I think by 70's annas all gone. Great to hear the song with your comments.

Raj: This is indeed a pleasant surprise! Mukesh had one of the most enchanting singing voices; and it is a rare treat to watch a video of him singing a song and acting the role. Great find! Thank you very much

Here is a song in Mian ki Malhar from Basant Bahar(1956):

Bhay bhanjana vandhana sun hamari............



I like this raga and listen to it often. If you like a classical rendition listen to Bhimsen Joshi or any other stalwarts.

If you want something more recent it is 'Bole re pappihara....' by Vani Jayaram in Guddi (at a faster pace). I will post the link later.

Have a good weekend!

V_S commented on my golden memories. Thanks V_S. I thought I would post a song about childhood memories:

Bachpan ke din bhula na dena from Deedar(1951)



In fact, it reminds me of my childhood visits to my ancestral village(native place) during summers. There was not much to do except wading in the river that becomes a stream winding on the river bed, climbing mango and tamarind trees, and picking lemons for sharbat! But there was something I enjoyed. That was horseback riding. My uncle had a few horses and a race cart. In the evenings he allowed us to ride the horses. Not alone.
My first ride was when I was about seven years old. A servant would walk along the horse to make sure the riders did not slip and fall down. Those days are gone. No horses anymore! Surprisingly some of my neighbors have horses here!

I wrote a short story about my memories of 40s and 50s. Here is the link:

i feel the title track of the movie Yaadien is worth a mention here. it is a song which always reminds me of my family. the song 'Muqaddar ka Sikander' is very inspirational.

Chori Chori was a very popular movie in the 50s and so were the songs. Here is a song from that movie, a difficult one to sing:

Rasik balma..........



A few other songs were easy to sing/hum. I will post one later! Nothing like those college days and these songs in college functions!
