Here is a nice one for you all: On last Wednesday evening, I tuned in to 93.5 FM (RED FM) in Mumbai. The first voice I heard was Rafi-sahabs. A lot of beatiful Rafi-songs were played, and then I heard Ameen Sayani speaking. He was playing a Interview with Laxmikant, and in between he would play some songs and say something.

After a while he played a part of the Laxmkant-interview, were Laxmikant said something on Rafi-sahab. It was like this:

Laxmikant: Rafi-sahab was a man who always helped someone if he could. I remember when Lyricist Anand Bakshi moved to his new house in Mumbai, he wanted to have his children admitted in a neighbourhood school. But, he didn't get them admitted. Then someone told him, that if Rafi-sahab would do a word for him, he would get the admittance. So AB called Rafi-sahab.

Rafi-sahab fortunately had some space in his busy agenda that day, and said: Ok, I'll go with you myself personally.

When they arrived at the school, "school me hulchul machgaya ke Rafi sahab aye hai, Rafi sahab aye hai", Laxmikant said.

The Principle welcomed Rafi-sahab and said, that he would arrange the admittance on 1 condition, and that is that Rafi-sahab has to sing a song on the school-microphone. Rafi-sahab agreed and sang the song. The whole school was thrilled with this big event, and AB was helped with his children.

(Laxmikant said it all in Hindi off course)

I thought, I have to share this one with you.
