AAPka, Mera, Hum Sab Ka LoRD

Well, the story goes that RD Burman, who was a perfectionist when it came to his work, was known to be quite messy around the house, so much so that on one occasion, Asha Bhosle gave him a "jhaadu" (broom) as a birthday gift.

I have no idea how true the story is, nor—if it is true—the particular year when this incident happened. But in any case, with timeless blockbusters like "AAP ke kamre mein koi rehta hai", "AAP ki kasam", and "AAP ki aankhon mein kuchh", he certainly knew how to rule the hearts of the 'Bharatiya Janata', thereby proving again and again that he was no 'Aam Aadmi'.

P.S.: I just needed an excuse to swoon over my favourite melody-maker, so there!!


P.P.S.: More importantly, I also wanted to channelise my inner frustrations at the latest political developments in the country (Delhi, to be precise) into something light-hearted yet meaningful and completely non-political, hence this brief piece (inspired by something I spotted on Facebook today).
