Kumar became a rocK(ishor)er forever

The Hindi film music industry has sEena number of trends, and some of them, like the advent of rock and roll, (Aas)have managed to stay (Kisho)relevant over the De(e)kades. That’s no Meenachievement.

Eena Meena Deeka, whose male version was (Kisho)rendered by Mr Kumar, was a catCh(italkar)y number penned by Rajinder Krishan and composed by Ramchandra.

It was from Aasha (1957). And, incidentally, Asha (Bhos)lent her voice to its female version.

And A(a)s(h)a Konkani speaker, I’m proud that the track contained the phrase Maka Naka (which means, “I don’t want”). But that’s ironic, because we do.
