O Holi Aayee Holi Aayee Dekho Holi Aayee - Mashaal

This song's for all our Indian readers, & all my nice Indian pals, & of course my relatives in India.


I've never played Holi in my entire life. In fact I've never even visited my relatives over there. But what I really like about Indians is their simplicity. It's a totally different experience when I meet one of my relations from India...they are simple & fun to be with. This is not how I feel when I meet my other relatives in Pakistan, England & America.


Anyway, this song has been one of my favourites. Dilip Kumar looks so cute. When I was a kid, I didn't like the line: 'Tum ho tou har raat diwali har din meri holi hai.' But later on, I realized it was the most cutest thing about the song.


Anyhow, hope you all enjoy your day!

Yeh Raat Bheegi Bheegi - Chori Chori [1956]

I just couldn't believe it that up til now I haven't posted a single song of Manna Dey. The other singer is Lata. She sounded very different in her early days. Btw, Chori Chori is fun to watch. It has been inspired by It Happened One Night.

These lines are of course very touching:

'Aisay mein kahin kya koi nahin
Bhoole say jo hum ko yaad kare
Eik halki si muskaan pay jo
Sapnon ka jaan aabaad kare.'

And just in case if you haven't seen the moon tonight, it looks really nice.
