Mangeshkar sounded a melodious aL(at)arm

It’s not uncommon, particularly for those who live in metropolitan cities, to wake up to media reports of untoward incidents, or even know people who’ve been victims of such acts.

Realising the importance of staying alert (as opposed to merely staying awake), Raj Kapoor produced (and starred in) a B(enga)lingual film in 1956. It was titled Jagte Raho.

Now, one of its songs, Jaago Mohan Pyare, is more relevant than ever.

It was penned by Shailendra and composed by Salil Choudhury.

And one thing is absolutely true – Mangeshkar’s rendition wasn’t just aLa(ta)rming, but also charming.
