It was long long ago - long before cable TV with its long string of channels came in. That was the age of Doordarshan. One of the good things about DD was that you got to watch a lot of Hindi movies - old hindi movies. That was one of the luxuries we had in our school days.
One of my favourite actors of that time was Joy Mukherjee. Reason is of course obvious - he was joy to watch. Tall, young and pretty good looking. And Joy and Sadhana - they made a great team on screen. Sadhana is my all time favourite. Her eyes - they took your breath away.
It is sad to hear that he passed away. The good part is, he will continue to live in our memory. He will be remembered for his movies. I will remember him for some of the songs that I keep humming to this day, the lyrics of course forgotten, but the face of the actor very much in mind.
Some of the songs I remember him for are : Bahut Shukiriya, Bade Miya Deewane, Lakhon hain nigah mein zindagi ki raah mein(with a guitar that he does not use in the song), Bandha par war Tham Lo Jigar.
