It was (Bhos)l(ad)en with emotion

There is no doubt about the fact that Mera Kuchh Saamaan was as poignant as it was pregnant with meaning.

The song from Ijaazat was penned by Gulzar, composed by R D Burman and sung by Asha Bhosle.

It wasn’t as much about saamaan as it was about sammaan (honour), as evidenced by the fact that Bhosle bagged the National Film Award for Best Female Playback Singer in 1988.

Moreover, it didn’t just fetch Gulzar the National Film Award for Best Lyrics in 1988, but also the Filmfare Award for Best Lyricist the following year.
