Has it ever happened to you that you suddenly hear a song that you have totally forgotten about for years? It happened to me yesterday and I just loved it!!! I was on one of my official long drives with the FM channel playing. And suddenly, out of nowhere, they play an old song which used to be a favourite among us girls in the hostel. The song was 'tumhe ho na ho mujhko to itna yakeen hai... mujhe pyaar tumse nahi hai nahi hai'...sung by Runa Laila for the movie 'Gharonda'
It's a cute song where the girl tells the guy that she knows for sure that she is not in love with him...only she seems to love the things he says...and keeps finding excuses to meet him...and wants to just be near him...and so on...
I heard it after 10 years and found I could still remember all the lyrics as the song played along. We used to repeat it so many times every day!!! It's not an artistically great song...wonder why we all loved it so much...maybe at that age, most of us found something to identify ourselves with in the song! :))
Wonder if there are more such things buried in my head under the rubble of projects, prospects, proposals, shopping lists, telephone numbers and bills!!!
4 other wanderers:
Aaah!! Runa Laila!! I remember now--it must eb at least 10 years since I last said that name :)
ps: Same here! :) But have been listening to nothing other than her two songs from that film since yesterday! And thanks a lot for the visit :)
oh I love that song. Once I hear songs like these, i cant get them out of my head. I go on & on singing/humming it. By the end of the day the kids also will be singing along with me with their own made up lyrics. There is one more song with Rajesh Khanna singing while painting Sharmila Tagore's eyes....ufff i forget it now. It will come to me :-).
I do that too! That song is 'Jeevan se bhari teri aankhen'.. it is my hubby's masterpiece :)
