It was late into the evening and we're watching our favourite musical programme, 'Raag Rang', on a Malayalam channel that covers songs from the Hindi movies - with anecdotes coupled with history - during its half an hour duration. And it's aired on Saturdays.......
.....Mom had already turned in for the night and with the commencement of the ayurvedic treatment, she finds sleep forthcoming and has even given up viewing her favourite after supper 'soaps'........
.....And then came the hauntingly beautiful number from the movie, 'Taj Mahal' picturised on Pradeep Kumar and Bina Rai, " Jo waada kiya wo nibhaana padega....." We're enjoying the lyrical beauty when we saw mom come out of her bedroom - as though in a trance - and sit down on her favourite chair. It was as though an unseen and irresistible pull had shaken her up from her slumber and brought her to listen to the number.....
....Dad was fond of this number and me and my sisters have always felt nice about our parents' affinity for this number and I remember their narration of having gone to see the movie only a day after visiting the monument at Agra! And I've seen them enjoying the number so many times - I'd lost count!
Tailpiece.
Was dad also around us in an invisible avatar, enjoying the number? Otherwise, how does one explain mom getting up from her deep slumber? I would like to believe that dad must have prompted her to listen to their favourite number.......yet again!
