Remember the Geeta Dutt song "Mera naam Chin Chin Choo..." in the Shakti Samanta film "Howrah Bridge" (1958) which was reused in Mira Nair's "Salaam Bombay"? That song kept ringing in my head as we cruised along the Hoogly at night. The cool evening breeze, the silent darkness and the Howrah Bridge emerging out of the dark waters - I felt I was in a dream!
