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!

Rain Songs: Jhir Jhir Barase Saawani Ankhiyaan

"Aashirwaad" (1968) was an emotional story of a father and his daughter. A Hrishikesh Mukherjee offering, it appealed greatly to family audiences. A unique feature of this film were the two songs for children sung by Ashok Kumar in his inimitable style. Railgaadi railgaadi and Naav chali have appeared in this space in the previous series, Her Story. Today, another memorable number from the same film. Love the word saawani. A sweet derivative of saawan that probably did not exist before Gulzar coined it.

Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Gulzar
Music: Vasant Desai
