Memories of RRF – song we used to hear almost daily!

This is one of the songs we use to hear almost daily from the veranda of our flat, no thanks to 'Iyer', the MPPP bus driver who would, without fail, play his 78rpm to relax after a long morning of exhausting driving. As they say, one man's meat is another man's poison (especially if he is a vegetarian and a fussy one at that); his daily routine was much a nuisance to us the book worms! Necessity was the mother of invention and the mother of all inventions was studying in the cemetery to escape the torture of the persistence of noise pollution from the inhabitants of RRF, including one occupant of E15-11! Well, all meant well and everything ended well, just like the tagline in the movie 3 idiots - Allz well!
Did you know the remake of this movie (Aradhana) of the Hindi song featured above in Tamil is called 'Sivagamiyin Selvan' and the scene above of the mule train in the hilly terrains of Kashmir Valley is shamelessly copied? In the Tamil movie, the singing star was Sivaji Ganesan and his sidekick was the born again pastor and ex-movie star of devotional movies AVM Rajan who prefers not to talk and think about his acting years.
