Have a story to tell? A theme to work on? An emotion to express? A mood to paint? Easy. You can do all this and more with Hindi film songs. For musical stories or theme-based songs or lyrical expressions of moods or...whatever, this promises to be a fun-filled ride. Come, get on the bandwagon!

Her Story: Fun And Games

Playing with friends in the neighbourhood is a part of growing up. This is the first step towards learning social skills. A kid who is used to having her way at home, learns to be accommodative while interacting with her friends. These activities, which may sometimes look silly and meaningless, help in the overall development of a child. Our girl has graduated from playing at home with family to playing in the local park with other children. Joining them in the fun is a not-so-young person. But he is young at heart for sure. Watch him becoming a child in the company of other kids in these delightful ditties from "Aashirwaad" (1968).

Trivia: The little girl asking questions is Sarika, who later starred in many Hindi and Marathi films with Sachin. She married and divorced Kamal Haasan, with whom she had two daughters, Shruti Haasan and Akshara Haasan. Lyricist Harindranath Chattopadhyay was the younger brother of Sarojini Naidu. And as far as Ashok Kumar's rendering of these songs is concerned, I wonder if Shankar Mahadevan was inspired by these for his "Breathless"!

Singer: Ashok Kumar
Lyrics: Harindranath Chattopadhyay
Music: Vasant Desai
