The Saturday gone by was the fourth death anniversary of Goldie Vijay
Anand - a cineaste influencing a whole generation of filmmakers as a
writer director ahead of his time.
Why did Goldie also fade away ahead of his time? "Unlike with even
Kalyanji Anandji," explained Goldie, "I found I had to wait in a queue
for my Rajput music session with Laxmikant-Pyarelal."
"Habitually," continued Goldie, "I made my music at a leisured sitting
with Dada Burman. "Goldie ko gaana pasand nahein aaya," Dada'd tell
wife Meera later if I failed to respond to his six tunes for the
situation outlined."

"That'd make Dada," added Goldie, "do six more tunes inside the week
during which I'd be back. True, even on Dada Burman I couldn't barge
in if he was working on, say, a Pramod Chakrabarty film. Dada would
then tongue-lash me for disturbing him!"
"But two-three days later," reminisced Goldie, "Dada'd himself call.
After that, all of Dada's time was mine. It was in such an ambient
setting that Guide tunes like Kaaton se kheench ke yeh aanchal took
shape."
