My Diary

My Diary Rahul 2 nd July 2017 So… this is a bit awkward. I have been experiencing some weird things… Things that I cannot share with anyone ‘cos if I did, I’d be branded as a mad man. That’s why I thought of penning down my thoughts in this diary with the name Diary Of A Mad Man! Maybe by reading it sometime in the future, it will help me join all the dots. Else a professionally successful, happily married man in early forties like me would not be experiencing this. For the past few days or rather weeks, I think I have started hearing voices in my ears.

But since he used this tune in Yaadon ki Baarat , means that he was there somewhere when the title music was being created. Bandha Dwarer Andhakare - a super melodious duet from Rajkumari (1970). The infectious tune took control of me and Sujata took a back seat as I searched for Rajkumari. This song shares the same tune. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=j84sbnfm4ko Searching for Rajkumari I also discovered that the tune was also used in the title credits of Rajkumari from 1:01 https:/...
