Most of the song farmaishes that I get are in the blog, but sometimes I also get farmaishes for songs in my email inbox. Yesterday I received an e mail from Jeetendra Mistry, who requested me to discuss a song called ” Saawan aayaa baadal aaya ” from “Jaan Haazir Hai” (1975). He mentioned that this song, which is picturised on Urmila Bhatt, is a rare song which he is unable to find.

I had mentioned that I was temporarily at a place where internet and for that matter even electricity was not guaranteed. Now,after pointing the fact out to the powers be, I find that the things are much better. Electricity is avaialble, because the generator set is being switched on in case of no electicity while earlier, people were too lazy to switch on the gen set, which is an essential item in these parts.

My readers may have noticed my absence from the blog for the last few days. The reason was I was travelling for much of the time in the last few days and I was unable to get hold of internet. At the end of all this journey, now I have ended up at a place where things that I took for granted are a luxury. Electricity itself comes and goes quite frequently here and the less said about internet connectivity, the better. Wireless modem, which works in small towns elsewhere does not work here. Still, I have managed to rig myself an internet connection. The catch is, it works only if there is electicity. I will try and get myself active on the blog again, electicity permitting.

Minerva Movietone is the renowned flagship company that was launched and nurtured by the great Sohrab Modi. He has given such powerful historical epics to the Indian cinema as Pukar, Sikandar, Prithvi Vallabh, Jhansi Ki Rani, and many other great creations like Mirza Ghalib, Nausehrvan-e-Adil, Kundan, Jailor and Raaj Hatth. His films carry a message of strong commitment to social and national issues. A whole generation’s image of Indian history and Indian society is based on his films. Not all of his movies were commercial successes, but each of them has an indelible imprint of Sohrab Modi’s uncompromising quality and classic cinema.
