EVENING WITH LEGENDS

My father's enduring favorite song "Jeena yahan marna yahan, Iske siva jaana kahan" wafted through the air as I stepped into the dazzling red carpet celebration of arguably India's greatest showman Raj Kapoor's centenary.

In that moment, fragrant threads of childhood memories of his movies and songs savoured by and with my parents unfurled before my eyes, momentarily drowning out the chorus of photographers calling "NishaJee, NishaJee, yaha dekhiye."

Since my childhood until now my impressions of Indian cinema have been ever linked with the iconic presence of Raj Kapoor. His image and aura so totally of romance and the endearing Charlie Chaplinesque vagabond hero!

Undoubtedly his era was way before my cinema-centric age, but my parents had whole sets of his films on the then popular videocassette, that they often delved into the nostalgic favourites.
