    Dear vinayak ji
    How much you labour to retrieve these old references , i wonder . These things have memory tags for us. My father took me out from my school during lunch break and we went to Maqdoom sahib shrine. There is a spot known as Kastoor pend . This movie was shot there . Shashi kapoor ate Nadir Monji (Pakoras made of Lotus stem ). When we walked back to rainawari we talked about Peshawar and frontier areas of what is now Pakistan. My father revealed that Shashi kapoor is actually from Peshawar, a city my father had visited before 1947 with my uncle or grand father . Peshawar and frontier areas of were brought to my memory storage on that day only.Any way good work and ponted reference .

    That poster seems to belong to some space within my memory; my vision of Kashmir. Thanks for sharing it.

All about Taro Ek Dragon Ka Beta

Hawa mithee tu aa ja, purab se Tufaan tu aa jaa re paschim se Chali aa, jaldi aa jaldi aa tu aasmaan se ~Title song from Cartoon Series Taro Ek Dragon Ka Beta Japanese cartoon series from the late 70’s Taro the Dragon Boy ( orginal story by Miyoko Matsutani ) was shown on Indian national television - Doordarshan, in mid nineties with the Hindi title: Taro Ek Dragon Ka Beta .

In India, the series is mostly remembered for its title track Hawa mithee tu aa ja written by Gulzar and brilliantly composed music by Vishal Bhardwaj. In 1966, Taro, the Son of Dragon with the original Japanese title of ...
