Singing Saturday – Tum ko dekha to

As much as my one fav. song above all else and Buzz’s all time fav. song both are from Masoom..as much as I like the songs of Ghar..as much as I am not too fond of Chitra Sing’s voice which makes up bulk of the songs in Arth and Saath Saath..Arth/Saath Saath wins over Ghar/Masoom as my fav. album from the legendary movie combination albums by HMV.

When the song goes:

Aaj phir dil ne eak tamanaa ki
aaj phir dil ko humne samjhaya

I wonder is there anyone who does no go through this..tamanaa samjhana..bit in their life.

When Jagjit Singh sings:

Tum chale jaaoge to sochenge
hum ne kya khoya, humne kya paya

I look back at my last day in college and see eyes of my junior fill out as these words came through. I remember the subtle way she showed how much she cared, had my eyes brimming up as well.

When I hear:

Hum jise gunguna nahien sakte
waqt ne aisa geet kyoin gaya

I ask that very question..waqt why do you sing such a song?
