The transliterations
of Hindi film songs into English have occasionally left me puzzled. That was my
state of mind twice in 1989, when I read the inlay cards in audio tapes.
One confusing transliteration was that of Paap Ka Ant (I read Ant as the insect, so it sounded like the ant of sin) and the other was that of Gajar Ne Kiya Hai Ishara, from Tridev.
I knew plants were living things, but a carrot that gestured?
Jokes apart, Anand Bakshi penned the Kalyanji-Anandji composition, which Alka Yagnik, Sadhana Sargam and Sapna Mukherjee sang.
