Blog Day : |
4300 | Post No. : | 15562 |
Today (26 april 2020) is the 4300th day for the blog.
This date happens to be Akshay Tritiya.
According to a whatsapp message shared in our WA group, it is on this day that Satyug and Treta Yug started. Parshuram, the sixth avatar of Lord Vishnu, appeared on earth on this day. The gates pf Badrinath open today. River Ganga , as a result of Bhagirath’s tapasya, arrived on earth on this day. The war of Mahabharat ended today and with that the Dwapar yug came to an end.
What an important day our 4300th day in the blog has turned out to be. 🙂 Is it a coincidence ? People who are familiar with the various incidents involving the blog will know that some higher forces are guiding the blog and we are just the means.
For instance, when I look back at the beginning of the blog, I realise that the blog was started on 19 july 2008 which was important from the point of view of Indian calendars as well as Western calender. That date was the beginning of the month of Saawan, a month that is perhaps the biggest source of inspiration for Hindi movie songs. And that day happened to be the 201st day of the calendar year !
4300 days is a century day alright, but what can I write on this occasion. My creative juices do not flow as much as they did one decade back and so I was quite at a loss for ideas.
Then I thought of a far-fetched idea. Today is 4300th day after the blog started. Likewise there was a date that precedes the beginning of the blog by 4300 days. What date was that ? What was I doing on that day ?
My calculation shows that the 4300th day prior to 19 july 2008 gives us the date of 10 October 1996. It was Thursday, Ashwin , Krishn trayodashi, the day of Masik Shivratri, which is observed every month on Chaturdashi Tithi during Krishna Paksha, which fell on this date.
Where was I on that day ? I was at Hubli. I had spent two years one month at Hubli and I was on the verge of being transferred. To the best of my knowledge, my transfer order was not issued by this date. It was issued a few days later and I was transferred to Secunderabad.
Did any important event happen on that day ? On checking, I find that Australian cricket team has arrived India those days and they played a solitary test. This one off test was played in New Delhi and it started on this day, viz 10 october 1996 !
Guess what was the result ! India won the test in four days, winning by 7 wickets.
When I look back at those days, i find that my postings in those parts of the country had some interesting results on the polity of the nation. When I was allotted that zone of South Central Railway, no one in India even thought that a South Indian could ever be Indian PM. My posting in those parts changed all that.
My first posting was in Andhra Pradesh followed by Marathwada (Nizam area). The next general election saw Narsimha Rao, belonging to the same parts becoming PM of the nation. No one can deny that this event, which was a big freak event in Indian history changed the fate of India for the better.
My next posting was to Hubli. To make matters doubly interesting, the next general election saw H D Devegowda of Karnataka becoming the PM of India !
PM ship was not the only thing I was causing to happen. Cricket in those parts also saw reaching its zenith. Azharuddin of Hyderabad became Cricket captain of India and remained so for one decade.
After I joined at Hubli, Karnataka became cricketing powerhouse of India.
Take this test, that began on 10 october 1996 for example. There were as many as five Karnataka players in the playing XI. Four out of five bowlers were from Karnakata and together they claimed 16 out of 20 Australian wickets to fall.
The five Karnataka players who played in this test team were Anil Kumble, Rahul Dravid, Venkatesh Prasad, Sunil Joshi and David Johnson.
While Kumble had made his debut six years ago, other four had made their debuts in 1996 itself. David Johnson in fact made his test debut in this test.
Please remember that Jawagal Srinath was not there in the playing XI !
In subsequent years, more Karnataka players played for India, namely Dodda Ganesh and Vijay Bhardwaj.
Having done my bit for Karnataka cricket, I went back to Hyderabad. As soon as I got posted there, VVS Laxman of Hyderabad made his test debut in November 1996. 🙂 Forget V V S Laxman, I ensured that even a mediocre player called Noel David got to play for India. 🙂
All these players may thank me later. I am in no hurry to get thanked. 🙂 Ye to mera farz thha.
Enough of those old memories. Let us now round up the discussion with a song.
While looking for a song to go with this writeup, I came across a song that was quite popular those days, though I never became aware of its details. Just now, I have become aware that this iconic song is from “Munimjee”(1972). This movie, produced and directed by Jugal Kishore for Jugal Kishore Productions, Bombay had Yogita Bali, Anil Dhawan, Ramesh Deo, Jayshree T, Junior Mehmood, Nazeer Hussain, Chandrashekhar, Maruti, Leela Mishra, R Wasti, Shahgul, Mohan Sherry, Ranjan, Narbad Shankar, Tulsi, James Bond Julian, Sudesh, Jagdeesh Shrotia, Deepak Thakur, Ratan Gaurang, Amrit Mahendra, Naginder, child artist Master Mohit, Parween Kotak, Nawal Kishore, Jameel, Saleem, Ali Raza, Balchand, Ravi, baby Manisha etc in it.
The movie had six songs in it. One song from the movie has been covered. The song under discussion is definitely the only reason why this movie is remembered. Personally I only remembered the song, I was not even aware of the movie. 🙂
The sensuous song is picturised on Jayshree T and a sadly miscast Ramesh Deo as a frolicking in water song.
The song is sung by Suman Kalyanpur. Lyrics of this song were supposedly penned jointly by Hasrat Jaipuri and Neeraj. This lyrics appears to be the work of Neeraj to me, though.
Usha Khanna is the music director.

I loved this song. It was one of the most popular bath songs in our family. It was a treat to hear a dark skinned hirsute cousin singing this song in the bath at the top of their voices in a falsetto. Just thinking about it makes me laugh. Luckily we did not get to see the sensuous video.
What a lot of coincidences have sparked from your numerous transfers. If only the GOI had cottoned on they would have planned your transfers better.
Many congratulations for all to reach this landmark on the blog.
