Phir wohi raat hai - Ghar 1978




This song has been on my mind for several weeks now. Wonderful wonderful memories from the 70s, 80s.

White kurta pyzama clad Vinod mehra with his sleeves typically tucked up above the elbow..so typical of that era with wide bottomed pyjamas. Long hair with long sideburns and ears half covered and most of the neck covered with them.
Graceful Rekha with her face blossoming like the most beautiful Rose..large bindi on her forehead and red think sindoor in her neatly parted hair and her curly hair falling over her shoulders.

While the nice summer breeze is waving the white curtains through the iron grills of their bedroom, Rekha is restless on the bed with stark clean white sheets, Kishore kumar is at his best singing Gulzar lyrics on the tunes of R. D. Burman. It couldn't get any better. I am sure life wasn't as simple in those days either but for me those were the good days.

Vinod and KK passed away long time ago. Gulzar is harldly active these days and Rekha is only seen on award shows, but their legacy lives on.
