Abhi naa jao chhod kar...

Sadhana's flawless face emerges out of the quite ripples in the water , the twinkling stars shining far above her head. We just feel like drowning in the mesmerizing romance of the song as a handsome young lad tries hard to stop her with his charm. You fall in love with that killer smile not to mention the boyish charm!

An actor par excellence, effervescent to the core, flamboyance personified. Dev Anand was the true evergreen hero of Bollywood. This Gregory Peck of B-town started his carreer with Hum Ek Hain and went on to make some of the best movies Hindi film industry saw. His sweater dangling on his shoulder, his tilted head nodding lightly , the puffed up hair or his varied hats. Dev Saab made these his colours as he coloured the cinematic canvas to secure his unshakeable place in our hearts.

Phoolon ke rang se, Yeh dil na hota bechaara, Hain apna dil and loads and loads of his memories still appeal to our senses as we rock in our chairs quitely sipping our hot chocolate on a cool winter evening.

With time probably people stopped enjoying his cinema , but he still stuck to his lyrics. Main Zindagi ka saath nibhaata chala gaya! At 88 , when he left the mortal world , he still seems near somewhere through his body of work.

As we say adios to this great being, I would want to end where I started ...
Ke Dil Abhi Bhara nahi....
