I have mentioned it in my previous post that I am at present visually hamstrung. I am unable to see what I am typing since I have forgotten my glasses at home. There are terms like touch typing, typing with two fingers etc, and I suppose I can add another term, viz typing by guesswork as well. I can barely see the letters on the keyboard but I am an experienced keyboard warrior and so my fingers tend to move to the correct keys almost like second nature. So I hope that I am typing correctly without too many typos.

I request our knowledgeable readers to throw more light on a “shift”). But Shashi Kapoor began to give time in hours for shooting, much to the chagrin of his producers, including Raj Kapoor, his own brother.

In around mid-50s, I used to often hear a song ‘chal chal re musaafir chal’ and I liked it. But I had no idea or rather I never ventured to know as to which film this song belonged. It was sometime in early 70s when I came across an used 78 RPM record of this song that I became aware of the film’s name and other details. The film was POOJA (1954) and it was a kind of surprise to me that the film which had Shanker-Jaikishan as music director had become an obscure film. No doubt, this film is yet to make a debut in this blog. Recently, I heard some more songs from this film on the internet. What a treasure of songs the film had.
