Hullo Atuldom

I know of a few people who have two birthdays each year. This can be explained as an adjustment for the sake of getting admission in schools which have a condition that the child should have completed 3½ when getting admitted to pre-school, and/or 5½ when the child starts class one in June. June is the time when the academic sessions begin in India and this rule has been in place for ages. So I have two cases for this in my family – my mother’s birth year was changed to comply with admission requirements.

June 1st is a special date for an Atulite who loves to travel. He has traveled to places which offer a lot of adventure and camping attractions. He has chronicled his travel experiences in www.sadanandsafar.blogspot.com.

It is our Sadanand ji’s birthday, a special birthday today. I shall not mention his age as I know him to be rather young at heart – his travels and treks are a testimony to that.

Currently his journey is discovering songs which we have hitherto not heard, Hindi songs which are from Bengali films. This series has given us some great songs. He has a lot of patience to dig out authentic and accurate information from varied sources like past issues of the magazine ‘Film India’ and other sites. He is painstakingly trying to find links. All the best to him in this – may we get more of the same. Here I will admit that his series has made me look out for songs in south Indian movies and a link that our In-house encyclopedia sent me has started that journey for me. I hope that I am able to sustain myself for as long as Sadanandji who has crossed 600 posts on the blog of which 28 posts were of Hindi songs in Bangla films. That is indeed a lot of rummaging through available online and offline material.

He has one more love – pointed out to me by our Avinash ji, whom I brain-stormed with before I sat to write this post. He loves poetry or shaayari as it is called. Avinash ji drew my attention towards Sadanandji’s love for Gopal Das Neeraj. So today we will have a song penned by Neeraj.

I just realized that I should explain my opening paragraph.

Since morning we have been wishing Sadanand ji through WhatsApp and he graciously thanked everyone but added “Thanks for wishing me on my official birthday. My actual birthday is **/07/****” . So that means we get to wish him one more time – ‘duguna wishes’. I am sure that this change in date of birth may have happened at the point of school admissions, am I right Sadanand ji ? As one of my many acquaintances loves to say – “same case as my mother”.

Now I shall move to the song for which I must thank Avinash ji; he has provided me the lyrics in both English and Devanagari (his forte). He also provided me the link to the audio and video and I realized why he suggested this song from “Gunaah” (1993).

I think I have seen this movie ages ago on television and this movie had Sunny Deol, Dimple Kapadia, Sumeet Saigal, Anjana Mumtaz, Shammi, Manohar Singh, Akash Khurana, Raza Murad, Avtar Gill  etc. It was the story of a young journalist (Sunny Deol) who is found wounded on the shores of Goa, treated by Dr. Joe D’Costa (Manohar Singh). He suffers from amnesia and then remembers details about himself, his life etc after five long years. He recollects that he was instrumental in the downfall of an upright politician and had a girl friend etc. Then the movie makes its way through the usual lanes of finding the real-culprits. The movie was directed by Mahesh Bhatt had songs written by Neeraj and Payam Saeedi (don’t know anything about this person) and Rajesh Roshan was the music director.

Today’s song starts on the seashore, in a Goan village setting with choreographer Ganesh Acharya (don’t know if he was the choreographer for this movie) lip-syncing to Manhar Udhas and we see Manohar Singh urging Sunny Deol to join the fun. I am unable to identify the girl (she looks very familiar) who is lip syncing to Sadhana Sargam.

Wishing Sadanand ji once again a musical day with family and remember your fellow Atulites when you cut the cake. 😉

According to my guess, the actress lip syncing for the song is Neeta Kapoor, I may be wrong… She acted in some C grade movies, …… Sadhana Sargam’s voice sounds very sweet in this song, maine iss movie ko theatre mein dekha tha, mere paas is film ke gaane ke cassette bhi tha,… One of my favorite sadhana sargam duet, Thanks for posting this song….

Aah yes! she looked familiar, as if we have seen her in some best friend or sister’s role

Happy Unofficial Birthday yesterday SK.

I think you may have told me you real birthday while I was lying in the tent half-asleep (me tired after morning’s long trek and heavy lunch … and you fresh & alert writing your detailed diary notes) … but I can’t remember that now. It’s good to see you as the central ‘hero’ of this story-song post. And to see your travel blog post link also exposed! Where you have written some real awesome stuff.

I have often wondered which is the greater passion for you; Hindi Film Songs or Trekking in the Himalayas? One common trait I noticed is that both these passions require tremendous online research and cross checks! .. before setting out on a trek or before hitting the ‘post’ button on the website … and perhaps that is what is your underlying skill is. You could have been a detective, a private-eye, 007, a Paul Drake … not just a plain old RBI Bond guy.

btw: I am also intrigued a lot by this post writer’s moniker “Peevesie’s Mom”

OK great … now I know a lot about Peevesie’s Mom and Peevesie too … Thanks a lot Sudhir-ji for a detailed and interesting story on both Mom and the Daughter. Interesting too read about the origin of the word Peevesie .. not having read any of Harry Potter stuff I wasn’t aware. Anyway, have to go back and read it, all over again. There were many other interesting leads there … including SPIC-Macay (that was started by my IIT batchmate I think) and NID etc.

Also I need search out your bio and read it, Sudhir-ji.

Again, Thanks … felt warm reading your take on the Mom .. during her visit to your place in Delhi.

Peevesie’s Mom,

I am overwhelmed by your post on my official birthday. It is only today morning I saw the post. Thank you for the post and your good wishes.

Thanks also to Atulites who have conveyed their birthday wishes on our Whatsapp Group. Thanks to Avinash ji for selecting the song which I heard for the first time.

Somewhat similar thoughts of this song have been conveyed in the song from ‘Chhaaya’ (1961). Two lines from the song:

mujhe ek jagah aaraam nahin, ruk jaanaa meraa kaam nahin
meraa saath kahaan tak dogi tum, mai desh videsh kaa banjaaraa

i am glad you liked the song and the post.
If it had not already been posted I would have chosen “musafir hoon yaaron”. 😉
There are other “chalna rukna” songs but this is perfect.
After you posted your reaction on whatsapp i remembered that you had mentioned the official birth date part last year too.
“mujhe ek jagah aaraam nahin,
ruk jaanaa meraa kaam nahin
meraa saath kahaan tak dogi tum,
mai desh videsh kaa banjaaraa”
But now just take a break and you can restart your travels once the situation becomes normal
