My Father's Interest in Movies??!!

Strangely, I can find him in Sanjeev Kumar's face, Jaya Bachan's tender expressions in Parichay...........I can see him swaying to the music of Cheliya cheliya (gharshana) and Tilaana tilaana (mutthu).............I can see him throwing the towel and trying to pick it up as Arjun does in Mudinepalli madichelo..........I can witness him appreciating all the dancers standing behind the hero while watching a song and dance sequence.........I can visualize him in every comment of SPB on Paadutaa Teeyagaa........I remember his prediction about SRK becoming a superstar after watching 'Darr' for few minutes...........I can still find him relaxing with 'Manchaahe Geet' or Hits of Mukesh playing on his transistor...........I can keep on describing the little things related to movies, which remind him numerous times daily. There is never a show on TV or a movie that does not bring my father to my mind............

(But for all this, he was never a movie buff.......he hated watching stupid movies and never stuck to TV for long hours. The movies he watched throughout his lifetime were just a handful................his only motive was to appreciate the uniqueness of these things)

Once they cease to exist physically, people live in our memories. The impressions that they leave with us are eternal!!
