“Mere paas Maa hai …”
“Of all the rights of women, the greatest is to be a mother’ so today on the international day of women, we pay our tributes to women and the ‘mother’ in them.
“Swami Tinhi Jagaacha Aai vina Bhikaari” …
Goes the lines are from a poem in ‘Marathi’, it means that… Even the lord of all the ‘three worlds’ is a beggar without a Mother…
Yes, every one of us understands the value of this word ‘mother’ and the value of her unconditional love she showers on us. How she cares for her child, how she serves a child for his whole life till she is alive.
Those who have been fortunate to have a mother and also those who are deprived of a mother’s love know very well the value of this word ‘mother’.

The last post by me in the blog was on 28th february 2016. Nine days have passed since then and I have not posted a single post in the blog during this period !
Some unavoidable reasons kept me away from the blog for this long. Despite my absence, the blog stayed active thanks to posts made by Sudhir Ji. I am extremely thankful to him to keep the musical bandwagon going single handedly for these nine days.

Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 15
———————————————————
During the British rule in India, film censorship was introduced under Indian Cinematography Act, 1918 under which the films could be exhibited only after getting certification from the Censor Boards. During the height of freedom struggles, film censorship was used as a tool to discourage political and socio-economic issues which were perceived to be anti-British rule in India. In the talkie era, ‘Mill’ (Mazdoor, 1934) was probably the first Indian film to be banned for exhibition by the Censor Board after the film was released. The story and script written by Munshi Premchand dealt with the exploitation of labourers by a Mill owner. The film was considered to contain inflammatory undertones creating a rift betwen the labourers and owners in factories.

Hullo to all the guys and gals of Atuldom
The writing bug has hit me after a long time.
Had an enjoyable January. To begin with had a quiet ushering in of the New Year followed by birthday time. So each had a small outing attached to it.
Then the most eventful Sunday….17th January 2016. A day which was under planning since October 2015 when we had a mail from Guruji of his impending visit to Bangalore via Hosur and Hyderabad. This time the group met at a new venue— Residence of Gajendra Khanna. Now here I feel like mentioning that I am floored by his collection of Vinyl Records and the number of WORKING TURNTABLES or Record Players as I used to call them as a kid. Another thing that should be mentioned is his wonderful idea of how to get more people to enjoy an event and the thought behind getting us live on YOUTUBE that day. We went live that day at about 11. And instantly Avinashji, Ben Katie, Atulji YYIIPPEEEE master and a few of Gajendra’s friends (I don’t know exactly how many or who all) hooked on to us. The (physical) attendees were Shenoyji, Arunji (Guruji), Rajaji, Gajendraji and a group of music lovers whom I got acquainted with for the first time that day.
