Returning from school, as we were getting down from the bus, my daughter started singing, ‘Sa Re Ke Sa Re Ga Ma Ko Lekar’ and I immediately joined in ‘Gaate Chale. Papa Nahi Hai’ before my daughter reminded me, ‘You shouldn’t sing!’ Oops but I was so happy hearing this song after a loooong time that I forgot that I shouldn’t sing now. All through that day, my daughter kept humming this song that she had learnt in school just that day.

This beautiful old Hindi film song from the movie ‘Parichay’ is one of my favourite songs. The tune is happy, the video is nice too – all children having loads of fun. Both my kids loved watching it later on YouTube.
