RMIM ke bhaio aur baheno,

This is #17 of a series based on the famous Vividh Bharathi radio program
"Chhaya Geet" in which songs based on a particular theme are played. Chhaya
Geet is usually posted on Wednesdays on RMIM.

This series serves to corroborate the "Naushad fan postulate" which states
that for every REAL life situation, there exists atleast one REAL song which
can be sung in your IMAGINARY world ! :-) This series is also a small tribute
to my favourite Vividh Bharathi announcer and Chhaya Geet hostess Kanta Gupta.

CHHAYA GEET #17

TODAY'S SITUATION/THEME: If you are an average desi student in the US who is
single, I'm sure u suffer from occasional bouts of Tanhaai, ie. loneliness.
Despite being in the constant company of friends, the following lines of
Neeraj in the song "Phoolon ke rang se...." seem so very true:

"Lamba safar ho
 Chhota safar ho
 Sooni dagar ho ya mela
 Yaad tu aae, dil ho jaae
 BheeRh ke beech akela....."

 Yes, one does feel "BheeRh ke beech akela" at times. Here are some songs on the
 theme Tanhaai or loneliness.

 Sami Mohammed (A Naushad fan).......saathi hai to mera saaya.


 1. Sab ke rehte, lagta hai jaise
    Koi nahin hai mera
    Koi nahin hai mera...............................................(Rafi)

 2. Kiska rasta dekhen
    Ai dil ai saudaee
    Milon hai KHamoshi
    Barson hai tanhaai
    Bhuli duniya kabhiki
    Tujhe bhi, mujhe bhi
    Phir kyun aankh bhar aaee
    Ho, kiska rasta dekhen
    Ai dil ai saudaee.................................................(KK)

 3. Saathi na koi manzil
    Diya hai na koi mehfil
    Chala mujhe leke ai dil
    Akela kahan
    Saathi na koi manzil...............................................(Rafi)

 4. Phir wohi shaam, wohi GHam, wohi tanhaai hai
    Dil ko samjhane teri yaad chali aaee hai
    Phir wohi shaam.............................................(Talat Mehmood)

 5. BaRi sooni sooni hai
    Zindagi ye zindagi
    Main KHud se hun yahan
    Ajnabi, ajnabi
    BaRi sooni sooni hai................................................(KK)

 6. Tum na jaane kis jahan me kho gae
    Hum bhari duniya me tanha ho gae
    Tum na jaane kis jahan me kho gae...................................(Lata)

 7. Chand tanha hai, aasmaan tanha
    Dil mera hai, kahan kahan tanha..............................(Meena Kumari)
