Veteran film actor Shammi Kapoor passes away on Sunday at the age of 79, Times Now reported.
... and the following song (though nothing to do with Shammi, but still sung by another Kapoor family) is one of my favorite indians song. Pranay Suresh, my friend who lives in Pennsylvania, once said that my ankles would look prettier if I wore anklets from India, wore sindur and Bindi, then ... possibly in the ceiling of a lowest imagination, we would sing in a way like the Indians. As far as I remember, in the film, they are always singing and dancing with musical accompaniment. If the mood of the singers are happy, they'll sing around the gardens, waterfalls, ponds or trees, and shyly express their love with the eyes of eastern typical .... ahahaa ...
If only Zef, Nino, Jan, or Almira knew this fantasy, even in their wildest dreams, they would keep laughing at me. 
.... but I would not be too bothered about it, because I like this song. .... Shh...Shh...Shh...mmmm... nehi nehi? No! Acha... O yesyesyes! ... They know how to make a baby, and they always have lots of children.
