So 31st January sees the pretty Priety Zinta turn 40. She completes 15 years in Bollywood. I agree yeh toh bachchi hai as far as our blog is concerned. But kya Karen? She is everything that we all love. A movie star who owns a cricket team 😉

Entertaining Sales Pitch Songs – 1
————————————————-
I remember a very interesting scene from a film, seen long back on Doordarshan, whose name I am not able to recall right now. The scene is in a moving train. I think it is a Kishore Kumar film, but not very sure. A person is selling ‘barfi’ in the train. (‘Barfi’ is an Indian sweet made from milk and sugar). He is carrying a tray full of barfi pieces, and is trying to catch the attention of the travelers, to sell and to earn. He is not having much success. He comes in front of Kishore Kumar, and a dialogue ensues. Kishore asks him why should I buy this barfi from you. The seller gives some very simple answers like it is good to eat and he needs to earn money. Kishore tells him he will never be able to make a sale with such kind of answers. Then he offers to make the sales pitch for him. He conjures up a funny and interesting jingle about the barfi on the spot, and tries to catch the attention of fellow travellers, singing the jingle he has just created. Of course he is able to make a lot more sales. The seller is very impressed, and the two strike a friendship that lasts through the film.

After almost four decades of a self imposed silence, finally the life breath behind this charming voice faded away, this day eleven years ago. A voice that was the darling of the listeners, for more than two decades prior to her reclusive phase.
Remembering Suraiya on the anniversary of her passing away (31st January).

keh do koi na kare yahaan pyaar
is mein khushiyaan hain kam
beshumaar hain gham
ek hansi aur aansoo hazaar
(‘Goonj Uthi Shehnai’, 1959)
Aao Hey Jyotirmaya Aao

The vast ocean of the Hindi film songs contains innumerable gems that lie hidden from the eyes, in the depths. These gems, overshadowed by the waves of the popular melodies, more often than not, are even more endearing and more heartwarming than the popular tunes that capture the attention of the listening public. And it is the true connoisseurs of this art that will delve into the deep to search out such gems. It is these connoisseurs that value the sounds of the voices such as Suman Kalyanpur.
Greetings and best wishes to Suman Kalyanpur ji, on her birth anniversary (28th January).

Around 11 pm last night it started to drizzle. Rain on 26th January is not an unheard of, or unexpected thing. But still, it can dampen the spirit of celebration at this annual event of national importance. And so the concern is always there. When I woke up early this morning, it had drizzled all night long. Along with the continuing cold temperatures, the clouds and the precipitation foretold a dreary day. Literally, raining on the parade.
Greetings to all on today’s celebration of the Republic Day of India. 65 years ago today, the Constitution of India was brought into effect, and our nation was declared a Republic.

The original and the natural ‘chulbuli’ (mischievous) of the Hindi screen. As a child, she was Keeto (कीतो), and when she passed away, she was playing the role of Rano.
Remembering Geeta Bali, the ‘natkhat’ extraordinaire and the original tom-boy of Hindi films, on the 50th anniversary of her passing away (21st January).

One of the key threads of genres that runs through the films of 1960s is an array of action films that were centered around the he-man actor Dara Singh. This was the period when Dara Singh constituted an entire segment of the film industry all by himself. Stories and screenplays were written keeping him as the center of the universe. His larger than life physical presence, his standing as a real life body builder and wrestler of international repute, and his reputation as an upright person with very clean habits and a very honest, very humane person – all these characteristics made him a very popular figure with the masses. Here was a screen hero who would be easily idolized by the common man, for the simple reason that his screen roles were a very close reflection of his real life persona.

Bombay Gangout – Part 2
After the Breakfast.
After having amicably negotiated the breakfast time, the gang members descended again to the secret basement chambers, to start the day’s proceedings in earnest. I will have to now write a little bit more about Bombay syndicate members, as we were getting more and more familiar with every passing minute. The most energetic and the most engaging personality of the hour was definitely the IndiaMan. He has a joke ready for every occasion, for every topic. Let me tell you why I used the epithet – ‘the antithetic patella specialist’ for him.

From the very early childhood, probably the deepest interest that I have is gathering and storing away in memory – facts, curious info, peculiar data, and a plethora of such interesting information that I would use (still use 🙂 ) to make interesting conversations and, ahem, impressing others :). In short, I have been a General Knowledge (GK) buff since I was toddler. In my class, I was known as the best and the worst – always scored the highest, mostly perfect scores, in the GK papers, and always, without fail, scored the lowest in art and painting. (The art teachers were generous; they would give me just enough not to spoil my averages.)
