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!!
