Song 23:
The club crooner too, like any other woman wanted to rush out for holidays to idyllic spots, and do fun, family things together. They could take off for Switzerland or in an ideal world, terrorism free Kashmir with Chunnu Munnu in tow. Full marks to this 80s director for showing a happy family with two daughters! The world through rose tinted glasses is what you see when you are in love. Each vista opens on to lush green valleys, gurgling waterfalls and gushing rivulets. Everything is picture perfect. Is it a fantasy or is it for real? Wouldn't we do anything, just anything in the world to see our loved ones always safe and happy like this? Then why don't we all work towards a safe world?
The fact is that God did make this beautiful world for us to explore and savour and enjoy. It is we who built agendas and divisions and prejudices. Ultimately it is only love for mankind that will rescue all of us. It will be the love of life, of inclusiveness, of equal opportunities and level playing fields. It is only when we see our mirror images in all cultures of the world, that we appreciate what an incredible gift life is. And the biggest example of this is that no matter what culture you pick up and read the literature of, the basic issues, the core stories everywhere revolve around more or less the same themes. Find those similarities and celebrate them, savour the minor differences like exotica, like a new cuisine you try. That is the key to embracing one and all. The answer to most problems in this world is as simple as childsplay: L- O- V- E!
Ok for the timebeing I simply love the dresses Parveen Babi wears in this song and want to embrace them asap. What cool dresses and boots! So wearable even today. Now she was one natty dresser. This was Western but not something that was jarring or dying for attention. It was classy, cool and chic!
So enjoy this duet by Asha Bhosle with Kishore for it's child-like wonder, coz the club crooner's vacation may soon be over. Soon you may be back under the arc lights, with subtle interplays and sub texts. Today is a sunlit vale. Tomorrow is another day!
