The World of Salil Chowdhury

Song# ND1 and # ND3 are written by Yogesh. The rest are by Gulzaar
The title music of 'Anand'  is based on a wonderful Bengali song by Shyamal Mitra - 'Ogo Surangana' first performed for the All India Radio but never released commercially, which is a shame. The only satisfaction is that Salil did create an excellent version of this song ("prema virinchiya") in the Kannada Film 'Samsayaphala' and the song was released in an album.
Interesting facts about the songs - there seems to be an un-recorded antara for the song "zindagi kaisi hai paheli haay" which Manna Dey sings often in concerts. In the film this song has three antaras but not the unrecorded antara. In the record, of course, there are only two antaras.
It seems that "maine tere liye" was originally recorded with three antaras but in the film and in the record there are only two antaras. Someone very kindly sent me the three antara version - but I have no idea where he got it from.
Recently (2009, Lata Mangeshkar paid tribute to Mukesh and Salilda by recording "kahin door jab din dhak jaaye" . I found the arrangement nearly perect but not 100% . Some of chords sounded different. Lata's singing was excellent. However, I still prefer the original by Mukesh.
