This post is perfect to depict how conversations roll from one point to the next to the next and on. I was talking to a friend and had told this person that I brought home-made Barley Bisi Bele Baath ( = Spicy Barley with Lentils) (Link to recipe here). That reminded this person of what they used to call this dish for fun – Bheegi Bheegi Baath (Crudely translated it means Wet Wet Rice). I couldn’t stop laughing at this comic version of the name and that reminded me of this peppy rain song. We ended up singing the song like fools and laughing like loons. So, here’s that song that stemmed out of a spicy dish. **Wicked Grin**
From the 1974 hit Hindi film Ajnabee ( = Stranger) this song is titled “Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein” ( = Oh These Wet And Soaking Nights). Sung by Kishore Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar. Music composed by R. D. Burman and Lyrics penned by Anand Bakshi

Lyrics and Translation (someone did it and I copied) in Romanized Hindi:
Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein, Mithi Mithi Baaton Mein
Bheegi Bheegi Raaton Mein, Mithi Mithi Baaton Mein
Aisi Barsaaton Mein, Kaisa Lagta Hai
How Do You Feel In Wet Nights,
How Do You Feel In Wet Nights,
With Sweet Talks And Such Rains?
Aisa Lagta Hai Tum Ban Ke Baadal, Mere Badan Ko Bhigo Ke
Aisa Lagta Hai Tum Ban Ke Baadal, Mere Badan Ko Bhigo Ke
Mujhe Chhed Rahe Ho, Chhed Rahe Ho
Aisa Lagta Hai Tum Ban Ke Baadal, Mere Badan Ko Bhigo Ke
Mujhe Chhed Rahe Ho, Chhed Rahe Ho
It Feels As If, You Are Teasing Me By
It Feels As If, You Are Teasing Me By
Taking The Form Of A Cloud, And Soaking Me Wet
Ambar Khele Holi Ui Maa, Bheege Mori Choli
Ambar Khele Holi Ui Maa, Bheege Mori Choli
Hamjoli Hamjoli
Ambar Khele Holi Ui Maa, Bheege Mori Choli
Hamjoli Hamjoli
The Sky Is Playing Holi, My Bodice Is Getting Drenched,
The Sky Is Playing Holi, My Bodice Is Getting Drenched,
My Sweetheart
Ho Paani Ke Is Rele Mein, Saavan Ke Is Mele Mein
Ho Paani Ke Is Rele Mein, Saavan Ke Is Mele Mein
Chhat Pe Akele Mein, Kaisa Lagta Hai
In The Rush Of Water, In The Fair Of Monsoon
In The Rush Of Water, In The Fair Of Monsoon
And Alone On The Roof, How Does It Feel?
Aisa Lagta Hai, Tum Ban Ke Ghata
Aisa Lagta Hai, Tum Ban Ke Ghata
Apne Sajan Ko Bhigo Ke; Khel Khel Rahi Ho, Khel Rahi Ho
It Feels As If. You Are Playing Games
It Feels As If. You Are Playing Games
By Drenching Your Beloved In Rain, By Taking The Form Of A Cloud
Aisa Lagta Hai Tum Ban Ke Baadal, Mere Badan Ko Bhigo Ke
Aisa Lagta Hai Tum Ban Ke Baadal, Mere Badan Ko Bhigo Ke
Mujhe Chhed Rahe Ho, Chhed Rahe Ho
Barkha Se Bacha Loon Tujhe, Seene Se Laga Loon
Barkha Se Bacha Loon Tujhe, Seene Se Laga Loon
Aa Chhupa Loon, Aa Chhupa Loon
Barkha Se Bacha Loon Tujhe, Seene Se Laga Loon
Aa Chhupa Loon, Aa Chhupa Loon
Let Me Protect You From The Rain
Let Me Protect You From The Rain
Let Me Hug You
Dil Ne Pukara Dekho, Rut Ka Ishara Dekho
Dil Ne Pukara Dekho, Rut Ka Ishara Dekho
Uf Ye Nazara Dekho, Kaisa Lagta Hai Bolo
Heart Has Beckoned You, Understand The Signal By The Season
Heart Has Beckoned You, Understand The Signal By The Season
Look At The View! How Does It Feel?
Aisa Lagta Hai, Kuchh Ho Jaayegaa
Aisa Lagta Hai, Kuchh Ho Jaayegaa
Mast Pavan Ke Ye Jhoken, Saiyan Dekh Rahe Ho O, Dekh Rahe Ho
It Feels As If, Something Shall Happen
It Feels As If, Something Shall Happen
Look At The Blow Of The Joyful Air, My Beloved
Aisa Lagta Hai Tum Ban Ke Baadal, Mere Badan Ko Bhigo Ke
Aisa Lagta Hai Tum Ban Ke Baadal, Mere Badan Ko Bhigo Ke
Mujhe Chhed Rahe Ho, Chhed Rahe Ho
