Is nazar ne kabhi pehle.....
Heard this song again yesterday after long time on asian radio. This song took me many years back to first year of my job, in Calcutta. My first ever job was in the cardiac cath lab, attached to the cardiac theatres. After the first few weeks, I became a regular scrubber (surgeon’s assistant). The job involved long hours of standing, sometimes from 8’o clock in the morning till late evening. I liked my job, and took great interest to scrub every day. The runner’s job was easy, when compared to the scrubber. When the procedures took longer period to finish, the runners sat on the corner chairs reading magazines and I stood with the surgeon and other scrubbers around the table. Because it was more or less the same procedures every day, the scrubbers could read the surgeon’s mind correctly all the time, gave him the correct instruments in his hands in the correct time. By the end of the first year, I was moved to a different area, because no one was allowed to work there more than one year at a time due to high risk of radiation. Few days later I shifted abroad. There was a radio-cassette tape player in the cathlab, which played music all day, non stop. Sometimes people forget to change or did not get time to change the tape, so it played the same set of songs over and over again. The song I mentioned above was one of them which I heard (had to hear) many times same day. I developed a fondness towards that song, though I did not like Ayub Khan or the song picturisation. I thought the music and lyrics were good, and Kumar Sanu has sung it well. I have put that song over here on my song of the day area; please have a listen.

Not bad! I mean the song.
Don't write a lot about your work, especially the current one. What about some literature work?
Nice song. There are few other nice songs in that movie too; the hero is a singer.
