Kishore ensured everyone paid (Ra)at(t)ention

August 30, 2017 marks the 94th birth anniversary of Shailendra, who penned Yeh Raaten Yeh Mausam from Dilli Ka Thug.

Before his career as a lyricist came on track, he was employed with the Indian Railways.

Of course, he spent a considerable period of time training his mind to achieve excellence in what would eventually become his occupation.

And to the D(il)(e)light of millions of Hindi film music aficionados, his predilection for simplicity resulted in many a still-hummed song, including this duet, which was (Kisho)rendered by Mr Kumar and Asha Bhosle, and composed by Ravi.
