Theme-word: Mujhe raat-din nahin koi kaam, Kabhi teri yaad kabhi tera naam.

Remembering Rishi Kapoor on His First Birth Anniversary 30 Sep After His Death on 30th April This Year

First Expression of Love

Raj Kapoor produced and directed the 1973 movie Bobby about young love between Rishi Kapoor and Dimple Kapadia (both in their debut roles as adults; Rishi Kapoor had acted as the child Raj Kapoor in Mera Naam Joker).

Love is never a reasoned emotion. You don’t step into Love; you fall into it; the word fall would indicate that you can’t control it. It rushes blood to various parts of your body (especially face and you are flush with it). Because of this physical phenomenon, Love got associated with Heart! Believe me, it is a medical fact.

So, then, you are in Love and you have this blood rushing everywhere. What do you do? Sharmila Tagore in her debut role at an age younger than Dimple said philosophically: “Mohabbat jo karte hain woh muhabbat jatate nahin, Dhadakne apni dil ki kabhi kisi ko batate nahin.”

With Rishi Kapoor and Dimple they changed everything; it became all about saying it (earlier it used to be: Mujhe tumase muhabbat hai magar main keh nahin sakta!) They now had things to say to each other. Of course, Rishi Kapoor went several steps ahead with Nitu Singh in Khel Khel Mein by insisting: Khullam khulla pyar karenge hum dono; the new young style. Sharmila Tagore would have died of mortification and made Sumedha Nair very happy that the one who acted more horribly than her idol Manoj Kumar was got rid of before she dislodged Manoj Kumar from his #1 Position!

The Song – The Lyrics

Once again, Anand Bakshi and Laxmikant Pyarelal made this song as Lyricist and Music Director. Raj Kapoor had vowed never to make movies without his favourite Shankar and Jaikishan. However, Jaikishan had died in end 1966 after the commercial failure of Teesri Kasam for which Raj Kapoor was indirectly responsible. Hence, LP, the MD of Satyam Shivam Sundaram stepped in here too.

Once again, Shailendra Singh sang for Rishi Kapoor and Lata Mangeshkar for Dimple Kapadia.

Beautiful lyrics:

मुझे कुछ कहना है
मुझे भी कुछ कहना है
पहले तुम, पहले तुम

देखो, जिस तरह लखनऊ के दो नवाबों की गाड़ी
पहले आप, पहले आप, पहले आप
पहले आप करते निकल गयी थी
उस तरह हमारी पहले तुम, पहले तुम, पहले तुम
पहले तुम में ये मस्ती भरी रूठ ना चली जाए

अच्छा, मै कहती हूँ
अक्सर कोई लड़की इस हाल मे
किसी लड़के से सोलहवें साल मे
जो कहती है वो मुझे कहना है

अक्सर कोई लड़का इस हाल मे
किसी लड़की से सोलहवें साल मे
जो कहता है वो मुझे कहना है
अक्सर कोई लड़की…

ना आँखों में नींद, ना दिल में करार
यही इंतज़ार, यही इंतज़ार
तेरे बिना कुछ भी अच्छा नहीं लगता
सब झूठा लगता है, सच्चा नहीं लगता
ना घर में लगे दिल, ना बाहर कहीं पर
बैठी हूँ कहीं पर, खोयी हूँ कहीं पर
अरे कुछ ना कहूँ, चुप रहूँ
मै नहीं नहीं नहीं नहीं नहीं नहीं पर
अब मुश्किल चुप रहना है
मुझे कुछ कहना है…

मुझे रात दिन नहीं और काम
कभी तेरी याद, कभी तेरा नाम
सब रंग दुनिया के फीके लगते हैं
एक तेरे बोल बस मीठे लगते हैं
लिखे हैं बस तेरे सजदे इस ज़मीं पर
जिंदा हूँ मैं तेरी बस हाँ पर नहीं पर
अरे कुछ ना कहूँ, चुप रहूँ
मै नहीं नहीं नहीं नहीं नहीं नहीं पर
अब मुश्किल चुप रहना है
मुझे कुछ कहना है…

मिले हमको फूल के कांटें मिले
वहाँ जा बसे, वहाँ जा रहे
तुझे मिलने में जहाँ डर ना हो कोई
पिया के सिवाय दूजा घर ना हो कोई
क्या ऐसी जगह है कोई इस ज़मीं पर
रहने दे बात को यहाँ पर, यहीं पर
अरे कुछ ना कहूँ, चुप रहूँ
मै नहीं नहीं नहीं नहीं नहीं नहीं पर
अब मुश्किल चुप रहना है
मुझे कुछ कहना है…

I have done a long stint in the Indian Navy that lasted for nearly thirty seven years; I rose as far as my somewhat rebellious and irreverent nature allowed me to. On retirement, in Feb 2010, the first thing that occurred to me, and those around me, was that I Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest (you will find an article with this title in this blog) and hadn't lost all my noodles and hence thought of a blog titled 'This 'n That'. I later realised that every third blog is called 'This 'n That' and changed the name to 'Sunbyanyname'. I detest treading the beaten track. This blog offers me to air 'another way' of looking at things. The idea is not just to entertain but also to bring about a change. Should you feel differently, you are free to leave your comments. You can leave comments even when you agree and want to share your own experience about the topic of the blog post. Impudent or otherwise, I have never been insousciant and I am always concerned about the betterment of community, nation and the world. I hope the visitors of this blog would be able to discern it.
