This is an accomplished biography, grounded in the reality that film songs deliver an emotional and textural surplus that stays much longer than its cinematic experience. A section featuring Anand Bakshi’s 40 favourite songs is a veritable treat, providing rare insights on how those verses came into being. The book provides an intimate peek into the life of a man whose humble beginnings did not deter him from pursuing his passion to convey his lived experiences through simple verses. In Nagme, Kisse, Baatein, Yaadein – The life and lyrics of Anand Bakshi, Rakesh Bakshi banks on his father’s diary entries, anecdotal reflections from his illustrious colleagues, and fragments of memory to recreate the persona of the inimitable lyricist whose words and metaphors continue to remain a vital part of the lives of millions of listeners. This is possibly why playback songs transcend demographic limits, linguistic barriers, and class boundaries. Unlike a poet, a lyricist has to limit his thoughts and expressions to the film script and contribute towards creating a musical interlude that takes the narrative forward while also remaining a standalone piece for the listener. Though he didn’t complete his schooling, he imprinted life’s lessons on some 3,500 songs in a career that spanned nearly five decades. With his understanding for rhythm and flair for music, Anand Bakshi could unlock the power of words into memorable lyrics for different cinematic situations. Carefully chosen words and their arrangement deliver specific meanings, feelings, and emotions that slip from on-screen renditions into countless members of the living audience who hold them as ageless soundtracks in their minds. 198pp, ₹599 PenguinĪ key aspect of enjoying songs comes from the words. True to his conviction, Bakshi wanted the heart-wrenching melody, Aaj dil pe koi jor chalta nahi dropped from Milan as he could not believe the characters could sing those literary verses. If, instead, he found himself visible in the song, he considered that particular film lyric a failure. He made sure his lyrics belonged to the characters who lip-synced the songs on screen. On a related note, here are some more songs that are very close to my heart - Fir kissa wohi ho raha.What made Anand Bakshi an exceptional lyricist of the Hindi film industry was his abiding devotion to his craft. And when I'm missing that special someone, which is pretty much all the time these days, this song brings tears to my eyes. Isn't that just heart touching? I couldn't help but hum along, every time I hear this song. I have this much faith in you, I'm not giving up on you. I wait for you, you are the calmness of my heart. My world is empty and I'm lost somewhere. In my thoughts (in thoughts.) there's only U. My heart has lost the bet of love with u. Your presence and style touches my heart. Your memories have cast their magic on me. My heart tortures me, now that you are not here. Your breath, your embrace - I think of all these now. Your thoughts, our dates, those nights, our sweet talks Here's the English translation of the song. I have no words to express how I feel about this song.
This song is just so so sweet – every singly person in my family just loves this song. “Teri yaadein” from Anurag Basu’s “ Love Story”, which iused to air on SAB TV. If there is one song that I can never forget, one song that will stay with me till my last breath, one song that is ‘mine’ – it’s that song.
It’s really a sweet & heart touching song. Towards the evening, while browsing a forum, came across a song titled “Feeling so lonely”, composed apparently by a student of IIT Guwahati who wrote that song for his girlfriend but died of brain cancer later. I had a story in mind, wanted to post it on But eventually didn’t. The last dream that I just woke up from was so sweet. When I woke up this morning, I was feeling very very low.
