Today’s song is a duet from the film Wamiq Azra-1946.

Ask anyone to name a famous love pair and the answer would be Romeo and Juliet, Laila Majnu or Shirin Farhad. These are all lovebirds from foreign lands. In fact Romeo and Juliet never even existed, they are the fictional char acters from the drama “Romeo and Juliet” written by William Shakespeare in 1597 a.d. Layla-Majnun pair was from Arabia and Shirin and Khusro Farhad were from Persia or Iran. Likewise Wamiq and Azra were also from Persia.

Today (20 November 2021) is the birthday of Minu Purushottam (DoB 20 November 1944). She made her debut in Hindi movies in 1963 with “Tajmahal”(1963), under the music direction of Roshan. The song was Naa naa naa re haath na lagaana , a duet alongwith Suman Kalyanpur. The lilting song from “Ye Raat Phir Na aayegi”(1966), Huzoorewaala jo ho izaajat , a duet with Asha Bhonsle, is quite a popular song to this day. Both songs incidentally were picturised on Helen and Madhumati (Helen clone).

Most Indians today know that Tiger is the national animal of India. But that was not the case when India became independent. Asiatic Lion (found in Geer forest in Gujarat), was declared as India’s national animal in 1948 by PM Jawaharlal Nehru in 1948, mainly because of lobbying by Gujrat Natural History Society.

LIFE is a strange phenomenon – full of unexpected things and coincidences. Normally, I never take a long break in my post writing. Last month, however, I needed a break to relax and do things which I have been postponing or delaying – at Home level and work sphere.

Little did I know that The Fate was smiling from behind me and that it already had its own plans to enforce a break to my total activities in the same period. Call it my Intuition or premonition. Whatever.
