Today 09th May’2023 is the ‘remembrance anniversary’ of yesteryears actress and dancer Laxmichhaya.

She was born on 07th January’1948 and she passed away on 09th May’2004.

She had acted in many movies, mainly in role of dancer or club dancer I guess. Though I am not going to list all her movies here, I would like to mention the movie ‘Mera Gaaon Mera Desh-1971’ in which I likde her role the most and it has been my favorite movie too.

When I was informed that today (8 May 2023) is World Donkey Day, then my Initial reaction was to have a hearty laugh. I thought that yesterday (7 May ) was World laughter day. How come the next day is an extension of that Laughter day. I in fact thought of writing a post of World Donkey day. I asked Avinash Scrapwala, who sent me lyrics of a song for World laughter day, for a song for World Donkey day. He promptly sent me lyrics of a song.

My original idea was to write a light hearted post on this occasion. But when I carried out some research on the subject, the mood of amusement soon turned into a sombre mood. I realised that making fun of Donkeys was unfair. They have traditionally been given a rough deal in Indian culture which they did not deserve. Even our Hindi film songs where donkeys have been covered, have used donkeys as a matter of ridicule. When I listened to the song sent on this occasion, I was relieved to know that Donkey is not made a subject of ridicule in this song that I was afraid of.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Maharana Pratap’ (1946).

All those who know a little bit of Indian history, know about Maharana Pratap – a brave king who fought with the mighty Mughals, with meager support from other Indian kings from his region. He is one who never lost any battle. The names of Maharana Pratap and his famous horse Chetak are well known to us.

We often hear this lament from oldtimers that things were simpler in their days and they have become complicated now a days. As a fresh entrant into the club of oldtimers, I tend to agree. Things were really simple in the old days. And they were easy to remember as well if you were a student who was required to remember these facts.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.114
————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years ago (6 May 2013), six songs from six different movies (plus one non film song) were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Post No Song Title Name of the movie Remarks
8046 Bhala thha kitna apna bachpan Hemant Kumar NFS(1941)
8047 Raushni apni umangon ki luta kar chal diye Naadaan (1943) 4 songs covered out of 11 by now
8048 Kis tarah bhoolega dil unka khayaal aaya huaa Village Girl (1945) 11 songs covered out of 12. Final song not available as of now
8049 Najariya mein aaiho Nadiya Ke Paar (1948) Movie YIPPEED in the blog with this song
8050 Wohi rota hua ek dil Lahore (1949) 9 songs covered out of 10 by now
8051 Jahaan jaayenge deewaane wahin mehfil jamaa lenge Isi Ka Naam Duniya Hai (1962) 3 songs covered out of 8 by now
8052 Dil haarne waale aur bhi hain Dil Diyaa Dard Liyaa (1966) Movie YIPPEED in the blog with this song

We observe that two movies (out of six)) whose songs were covered in the blog on this date ten years ago (on 6 May 2013) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. Both these movies in fact got YIPPEED on this very day ten years ago. That leaves us with four unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge.

“Isi Ka Naam Duniya Hai”(1962) is one of the BYTC eligible movies today.
