Katra Katra Bollywood

It's Children's day today in India. Pt Jawaharalal Nehru's birth annviersary. So, of course, we celebrate with all the innocence, mischief and cuteness that is associated with children by playing some of Bollywood's iconic and some hidden gems for children and by children. Join us on this picnic ride :)

Ye koi nay baat nahi hai ki Bollywood ke bahut sabre behetareen gaane Hindustani classical raagon pe aadharit hain. To din ke prahaar ke hisaab se gaane wale raagon pe  kuch chuninda geet is episode main aapko pest kar rahi hoon.

Bollywood is redolent with songs based on Hindustani Classical ragas. Having picked some ragas sung according to the time of day, I've picked the choicest songs for you in this episode. Hope you enjoy them.

Happy Diwali in advance. Next episode on Nov 14th, 2021

Enjoy this episode on one of the most colourful aspects of entertainment - the cabaret and how Bollywood adopted and gave it a desi twist with some amazing actresses and even actors not able to resist its charm

Bringing you part 2 of Raat Baaki with some melodious Bollywood songs penned to implore the night or moonlight with their deepest desires.

Hope you enjoy this non-stop music

Samajh hi gaye jonge ki main kya play karne wali hoon is episode main? Remixed songs.. Resung, rehashed, rejigged... on so many occasions by so many different singers and artists. The charm never wears off. Ek meetha, chatpata aur masaaledar mishran of old and new

Raat ka maza hi kuch aur hai, hai na? Every feeling, emotion, sensation heightened. Pain ho ya love. Maza aaye to raat choti aur na aaye to raat lambi. Enjoy Bollywood's take on raat 

Pehli mulaqat, pehli baatein, pehla touch, pehla kiss... It is an unforgettable experience, this first love. Pehla Pehla Pyar

Reminisce with me listening to some classic and new Bollywood songs about the joy of first love

Campfires yaad hain? Raat ko, yaar, dost, family ke saath, sardiyon main bahar bonfire jalake, hansi mazak, khana peena, naach gana aur gupshup. Mahaul itna rangeen hota hai andhere main bhi ki sama bandh jata hai. Bas, wahi karne ki koshish hai is episode main jahan maine, largely, guitar-based gaane play kiye hain campfires ke liye

The episode that brings to you Bollywood songs inspired by folk music... from old to the new, mostly fun, some naughty and very upbeat

Dosti, yaari, dostana, yaarana. Ending the season on the perfect topic - the family we choose, Friends!!! I'll be there for you :) Kuch meethe, kuch teekhe, kuch namkeen magar hamare zindagi ko rangon se, hansiyon se aur masale se bhar de. Thode emotional, par zyada tar funny songs.

Enjoy this episode and the others in S2 while I go on a much needed summer break. I'll see you again in September with S3.
