On Raj Kapoor's Birthday: A Slice of Unforgettable Magic

While so much of Raj Kapoor's work can be discussed in great detail, for me the turmoils of the adolescent  Rishi Kapoor, his crush for his teacher Simi Garewal , her dilemma and the ensuing approach of her fiance Manoj Kumar in the first story of Mera Naam Joker stand out.

Adolescence could not have been understood and dealt with so much of sensitivity. 

A most beautiful lesson for all parents and teachers.

Highly recommended.

We remember you Raj Saab!!!!

P.S: Incidentally I have not seen the rest of Mera Naam Joker, my recommendation is only the first story which may last for about first half hour(Last viewing was in 2000, so unable to recollect the duration)
