I was probably nine, we were in Shahjahanpur, UP. I don't remember if I watched the movie or just heard this song. We did not have a radio or a television back then, so it is not possible that I had heard it too many times. I do remember that the song appealed to me very much and I used to sing it, obviously not knowing the correct words. I remember I used to sing it as 'mihale masti mukundaranjish'.:)
Soon the song was forgotten. Years passed, twenty eight of them, to be precise. Then out of the blue I find this song in the list on youtube, while I am looking for some other old hindi song. I behave like a child who just found a favorite toy that he/she had lost long ago.
I start humming it and sing it all exactly as I remember it from then. I was so surprised and weirdly amazed for those few minutes. Not because I remember the words after all these years, but just the thought of how a nine year old treasures her memories with such care. I know we have memories from our childhood but a few are kept so intact even without any dusting for years together, its quite amazing.
I listen to it on repeat many times, and once again forget about it. A few days pass, may be twenty eight of them again, and I am browsing through a few blogs and this song shows up in a comment below a post.
And now I like this feeling of, 'wow this song is really very close to my heart, it keeps coming back to me' :)))
