चोरी चोरीची ६० वर्षे...Ode to Joy...60 Years of Chori Chori

Year 2016 marks 60th anniversary of the release of one of the greatest Hindi entertainers:
Anant Thakur's "Chori Chori" 



Artist: Alfred Eisenstaedt, The LIFE Picture Collection/Getty Images

“It was early in the morning,” Eisenstaedt himself recalled of the fall day in 1950 when he took the photo. On assignment for LIFE, covering the University of Michigan’s nationally famous marching band, he spotted the school’s drum major practicing his craft. Then, Eisenstaedt said, “I saw a little boy running after him, and all the faculty children on the playing field ran after the boy. And I ran after them. This is a completely spontaneous, unstaged picture.”

When I first saw the picture above, I was reminded of Chori Chori...
