I always wanted to know about the two dancers in the famous song from Pakeeza, 'Chalte Chalte'.
Thanks to Edwina, I learnt to recognize Chanda somewhat. More help was given by Sudarshan Talwar. Finally Meenaxi was identified by Dr Ramnath Iyer. The color image was enhanced by Mr Talwar.
In Teen Sardar (1965), in Pakeeza (1971), Chanda on the left and Meenaxi on our right.

I am sure there were shops like this playing radio Ceylon in the late fifties and sixties in every town. We had a few in Maler Kotla and one not far from our house in Ludhiana that we went to. We lived on Shahpur road and there was a famous paan-soda shop on the corner of Karimpura Bazar and Jail Road, not far from where Sahir Ludhianvi was brought up, there is still a Masjid nearby. I went to that shop with my father many times a month to listen to radio and drink lemon soda from bottles with a crinkled neck with a marble.
