Hullo Atuldom

This is not planned as a “Blog Ten Year Challenge” post. It has just happened to be one.

Actually, I was humming a song most of yesterday, visited the blog to check if it had been posted yet and found a song from the same film had been posted exactly 10 years ago. I went a step further and found that there were 3 posts on “this date, that year”. Two of the three posts were by Sudhir ji; one post being his down-memory-lane of the Mumbai- Gangout that had a few Atulites meet in December of 2014. The post by Sudhir ji for the song “Boribunder Se Borivali Dekh Li Maine Gali Gali” was much more than a report of the gangout & the visit to Arunkumar Deshmukh ji’s residence by Atulites. It was also a nostalgia trip for readers who know of the various localities that he has mentioned in the post. I particularly like the (now invisible Atulite) Khyati Ben’s comment to the post. That post had Sudhir ji, talking of how he had stayed across the road from Arunkumarji’s residence, back in the late 1980s; but they were unaware of each other’s existence then, prompting (another invisible Atulite) Raja ji’s comment of how the post could well be the story of a Manmohan Desai film.

Nutan (4 June 1936 – 21 February 1991) needs no introduction. One of the finest actors to grace the silver screen in Indian cinema, she is best remembered for essaying some of the toughest roles with amazing grace, dignity and talent which seemed so natural in the multiple genres of characters she portrayed. With her charming screen presence in more than 90 films she acted with almost all of her co-actors during her time.

Children’s Day special today.

Wondrous memories I have – of the special 14th November programs and treats. In Delhi, I remember there used to fun fairs for children.  At the Children’s Park next to India Gate in Central Delhi, there were occasions when Nehru ji would himself be present with the kids for a short while, in the early evenings. I have never been present at such gatherings myself. By the time I would be of the age to understand and enjoy such events, Nehru ji had passed away. But I have seen such events in the newsreels at the cinemas – Nehru ji surrounded by a huge number of children. And I especially remember, he would let fly some white pigeons – a symbol of peace and friendship.

Hullo Atuldom

For this post, I should thank our trusted Doordarshan National channel. I saw ‘Doosri Dulhan’ (which had had its theatrical release on 14th October 1983) in the day. Found a song in it, where the concerned actress played a character which was almost similar to the character she had played in the film ‘Mandi’ (1983) don’t know if she shot for the two films simultaneously or which film followed which film!!!. Also, the way she played the character reminded me, briefly, of Sharmila Tagore from ‘Mausam’ (1975).

Mukesh and His Composers – 33

Singer and composer Narayan Dutt is a victim of same-name confusion where he is always mistaken for the more famous N Datta. The confusion further escalates with Datt, Dutta etc. being used for both composers. The career of Narayan Dutt has already been written by our Arunkumar ji in his posts for the songs “Dagmag Dagmag Doley Naiya” (film ‘Jogan’, 1950) and “Gupchup Un Sang Ho Gayin Akhiyaan Chaar Re” (film ‘Mordhwaj’, 1952)

Mukesh and His Composers – 32

We continue the series with composer Vishnu Khanna. He seems to have composed music for only two films. Both these films have been introduced on the blog with one song each as follows.

  1. Poorab Chaloge Chaloongi, Paschim Chaloge Chaloongi – Patni (1970), a solo by Suman Kalayanpur which has been covered by Sudhir ji
  2. Kaisi Shaam Suhaani Aayi Re – Pasand Apni Apni (1972), a solo by Rafi saab covered by Satyajit Rajurkar ji

The composer continues to remain obscure. No information seems to be available on him other than what is already known.

Today, 19 July 2024, is a special day for the blog. It was on this date 16 years ago that this blog had come into existence with its debut post “Miley Na Phool To Kaanton Se Dosti Kr Li” on 19 July 2008. We have come a long way in the blog from that small beginning. On this occasion, we will have quite a few posts today to celebrate the occasion. Keep watching this blog throughout the day.

Ah, before anything about this song, the important start to this day is the Congratulations that must be given today, to all the readers of this blog, to all the members of this musical bandwagon, and most importantly, to dear dear Atul ji. Today, we begin the 17th year of this wondrous and overwhelming musical journey, that Atul ji had initiated 16 years ago. The year was 2008, and on the 19th July of that year, Atul ji had made the first post on this blog.
