Today is the
first of August, and there could be no better way to pay homage to the multi-faceted
Kishore Kumar than with a mention of Pehli
Tarikh, the 1954 film whose title track was sung by him.
Penned by Qamar
Jalalabadi, it went, “Din hai suhaana aaj
pehli tareekh hai, khush hai zamaana aaj pehli tareekh hai” (It’s a
beautiful day, it’s the first of the month. Everyone’s happy, it’s the first of
the month).
It was de rigueur for Radio Ceylon to play the Sudhir
Phadke composition on the first of every month.
