Basanthi, tumhara naam kya hai?

I remember listening to the audio tapes of Sholay , with my Bro and Sis in the year 1983 , I was 6 then. Man those where the good old days. (Vc sighs ) I feel the high point of Sholay along with its story has to be its background score . The background score is haunting and always stays with you. The songs are the best ever – Yeh dosti, Holi ke din, Mehbooba & the famous broken bottle song ‘jab tak hai jaan’ ( Basanthi in Kotho ke Samne math nachna ). But my Fav would have to be "Koi hasina jab roooot jaathi hai tho..wah wah " . Jai, his mouthorgan and Radha .Damn that was gooooood.... Jai and Veeru, Basanti, Radha the widow , a crippled Thakur , the menacing Gabbar , the blind Maulvi (" Yeh Sannanta Kyun hai Bhai ") were the main characters of the film. Seen it 38 times :)
