The life lived in this finite world with infinite possibilities is nothing if not the memories collected in the heart and mind. The audio-visual medium, overdose or not, is the ultimate. Some of those lasting memorable visuals are of the silver screen and black & white television screen. I may forget some of the names of those characters and actors, but the emotions conveyed and invoked in those scenes stay with me and have survived the test of time.

Today, I learnt the importance of checking things on the blog before starting to write. I wrote a whole post with full detail. Very Happy, I sent it to Amma for proofreading. She replied – “I think I have already written about this song” and what do you know, “Dil Mein Jaagi Dhadkan” was already on this blog. But I had, already, written a post extolling how the song made me feel and why I loved it. The song was full of love & joy and always made me stop and give it attention. I had heard the song again because it was part of today’s polls in the bracket I mentioned in the “Ande ka Funda” song. And it inspired me to write.

I have had the link and lyrics of this song saved in my files for some months now.  The month of July 2023 was a month of heavy rains and floods in many parts of India.  We had incessant rains in Mumbai also, where it was raining day and night, with a few breathers in between.

How do you judge a song? Especially when you are comparing songs of different genres. Is “My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves” a better or worse song than “John Jaani Janardan” is an answer one can at least attempt.

As per Hindu mythology, the Sun god is travelling in the sky on a chariot pulled by seven horses. After pulling the chariot for a long time, the six horses are tired. It is the seventh horse who remains and continues to pull the chariot signifying it to be the horse of dreams and aspirations for the future. In 1952, Dr Dharamvir Bharati published his novella, ‘Suraj Ka Saatvan Ghoda’. I read the novella in full which is available online. The novella is written in narration style in which the protagonist, Manik Mulla narrates to his three friends, three separate romance stories relating to three girls. What is of interest is that Manik Mulla is not only the narrator of the stories, but he is also the characters in all the three stories who loves these three girls at different points of time in his life. As Agyeya said in his foreword to the novella, ‘Suraj Ka Saatvan Ghoda’ is not the one story comprising three stories, but three stories constituting one story. The author, in his introduction, has revealed that during his early period of writing, he was influenced by Marxist objectives rather than hardcore Marxism. In this novella, some indications of that objectives can be inferred.  The full novella in Hindi can be read here.

Hullo Atuldom

4th August is very important for lovers of Hindi film music. It is the birth anniversary of Kishore Kumar who was fondly addressed as Kishore da. His birth name was Abhas Kumar Ganguly. He was the youngest among his siblings Kumud Lal Ganguly a.k.a. Ashok Kumar and Kalyan Kumar Ganguly a.k.a Anoop Kumar, being the older brothers. His sister was married to Shashadhar Mukherjee, co-founder of Filmistan Studio and later Filmalaya Studio. Kishore da’s wives (he had married four times) were Ruma Ghosh, Madhubala, Yogeeta Bali and Leena Chandavarkar who were all actresses. His son Amit Kumar is also a singer, actor & composer. As the saying goes “like father like son” or “walking in his father’s footsteps”. All this I am mentioning to show that Kishore Da was part of a family that has been in the entertainment industry from the 1930s (when Ashok Kumar began his career in the industry.)
