" Oonche Neeche Raaste Aur Manzil Teri Dur
Raah Mein Raahi Ruk Na Jaana Hokar Ke Majboor "
The song felt like a breather when I heard it after a long long time. I heard it last when I was a child and thereafter for few times during the Vividh Bharati era of the All India Radio, while I was still in school. I don't know if those programmes are still being aired by AIR amidst today's FM era. The song attracted my fancy at that time for its lovely lively tune and as much for the presence of the two little kids in the picturisation of the song.
But I seem to be loving the song many folds more now, not just for the sweet and charismatic voices of two most legendary singers we miss often in the present times ' The Great Kishore Kumar and The Legendary Lata Mangeshkar; for the full of life vitality and amazing enthusiasm which the song spreads in the air; the beautiful tune and above all, for the superb lyrics, spreading the great message of life that '
Life is a journey amidst thorns and roses,
Through spring, summer, fall and winter;
The destination lies much ahead
And therefore, my friend!
You've got to keep moving without withering
You may rest a while if you're tired
But you've got to keep moving
Keep moving
Not backward, Only forward
I wished and tried to insert the audio here but failed to do so. (Need to tread a lot as regards my skills in web technology L ) The link to the page where the song can be played is this:
Its from the 1982 film "Khuddar" The following helps me to hum it whenever I feel like J
Oonche Neeche Raaste Aur Manzil Teri Dur
Oonche Neeche Raaste Aur Manzil Teri Dur
Raah Mein Raahi Ruk Na Jaana Hokar Ke Majboor
Oonche Neeche Raaste Aur Manzil Teri Dur
Yeh Hamari Zindagi Ek Lamba Safar Hi To Hai
Chalte Hai Jispe Hum Anjani Dagar Hi To Hai
Dekh Sambhalna
Bachke Nikalna
Jo Nahi Chalte Dekhke Aage Thokar Se Hai Choor
Oonche Neeche Raaste Aur Manzil Teri Dur
Dam Leke Do Ghari Chala Chal Ban Mile Chahe Gaon
Jo Koi Soya
Usne Hi Khoya
Baat Hamari Yaad Hamesha Rakhna Tu Zaroor
Oonche Neeche Raaste Aur Manzil Teri Dur
Tujhe Pyar Bhi Mile Path Me To Samajhna Yahi
Ye Hai Raaste Ki Chaon Saathi Teri Manjil Nahin
Tera To Apna
Aur Hai Sapna
Apne Hi Sapno Ki Manzil Se Na Rah Jaana Door
Oonche Neeche Raaste Aur Manzil Teri Dur
Oonche Neeche Raaste Aur Manzil Teri Dur
Raah Mein Raahi Ruk Na Jaana Hokar Ke Majboor
Oonche Neeche Raaste Aur Manzil Teri Dur
u see, in fact even the FM’’s play oldies late in the night’’s. so just tune in and enjoy (better in solitude and much better with a drink in hand and an open sky above, and much more better if you are sitting beside a river with its waves lapping gently beside).

Don”t know if I have heard this song, as don”t remember the tune. However, AIR does still play vividh bharti and almost all the programs like chhaya geet at 10pm, aapki farmaish from 11pm. Morning continues to be Sangeet Sarita (based on classical) after the bhakti sangeet and post 8.15am, the new filmi songs with advertisement. Not sure if you get AIR vividh bharti in valley of flowers.
that is a good one…. vividh bharati did you say?
thx 4 sharing d beautiful song Empress…!!!
