Aaya Hai Mujhe Phir Yaad

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY!! And when the Pianoman sat singing eloquent about his childhood days, he made sure you drifted into bitter-sweet nostalgia, you swooned with sentiment and were overwhelmed with memories of vanilla scented cakes baked by mom with no fancy recipe book or measuring instruments but a mother's handful of unadulterated love.

You were forced to feel again that special waft of comfort from her saree pallu, the smiles that lit up your day as you returned home from a hectic day at school, the secrets she almost always was privy to, that even your father couldn't share, whether you told her or not, including your first crush, your first sneaky date, your first brush with telling a lie and the protectuve armour she gave you when dad was too angry or mad at you but she instinctively knew that whatever silly things you did in your rebellious teenage years, you would always grow out of it to become a theek thaak, nice, lovable, grown up person.

Remember she gave up many of her own dreams to create these special memories of childhood for you. Do call up your mom today wherever she is or better still go meet her.:-) Lovely song by Roshan and Anand Bakshi and stars one of my favs Dharmendra. For all his comic timing, he could also emote rather well in such emotional songs. But must admit this song has all possible musical instruments playing such as sitar, flute, sarangi but no real piano but he plays on so convincingly!!
