Ok, so Atul approached me a few days ago requesting me for a post for a special occasion.
My posts have become very infrequent here – in fact, before my latest post on Sahir’s birth anniversary (8th March), my previous post was on his death anniversary last year (25th October). So a gap of more than 4 months.
But then, like often happens in Test cricket, you wait and wait for a wicket to fall – and when one falls, another quickly follows.
Same has happened here. Following quickly on the heels of the 8th March post, here is another one.
And on such an occasion that I just could not refuse. Let’s just call it the perfect yorker. 🙂
Friends, I am SO honoured here to present Rafisaab’s 3000th song on this blog.

Back here on the blog after a fairly long break.
I daresay it would’ve been even longer if it were not a very special occasion today.
From today, we start the centenary celebrations of Sahir Ludhianvi’s birth.
Since he was born on 8th March 1921, today happens to be his 99th birth anniversary.
So yes, it is a very special occasion for Urdu poetry and classic HFM lovers. As a massive Sahir fan, I thought I owed it to him to write a post for the occasion. I’ve written so often about him here, on practically every birth and death anniversary, and have nothing new to say anymore – and yet it feels like a betrayal of sorts to let this day go by, without paying tribute to him.

Here is that date again.
The 25th of October is a date that many Hindi film lovers, and lovers of shaayari, remember with some pain. For it was on the 25th of October 1980 that one of the tallest figures of the industry, and certainly of the world of poetry, bade farewell to us.
Sahir Ludhianvi.

First of all, my apologies for my infrequent appearances here. Even calling it a cameo is unfair to a cameo, because, to be honest, it is not even that. It is more like, a “blink and you miss” situation.
Anyway, here I am today, back with a post. The occasion is the Remembrance Day of someone very special to the Hindi film industry, and also to me. He has millions of fans around the world and is easily one of the legends of the industry.
I am talking about Kishore Kumar, of course.

Am writing this post with a heavy heart.
I never expected that I’d be writing a post on this occasion so soon.
But if we’ve learnt anything about life in all our lives, it is that life is unpredictable.
For all the wonderful advancements that science has made, we still don’t know who will live how long. All we know is that everyone has to go some day.
As it turned out, Independence Day 2019 was the day that Vidya Sinha, well-known heroine of (mainly) the 1970s, had to leave us and go.

It is that day of the year again.
The 31st of July.
A date that doesn’t need any reminder for lovers of HFM.
Of all the days in the calendar, a few stand out – and the 31st of July is one of them.
For it is the death anniversary of one of the most loved and respected figures of the Hindi film industry, Mohammad Rafi, respectfully referred to as Rafisaab.

The years roll by – time stops for no one.
And, just like that, it is now 7 years since that day in 2012.
I still remember that day very well – I first got the news on Facebook.
One of my friends had posted “vaada tera vaada”, saying “RIP Rajesh Khanna”.
It shook me – I immediately checked Twitter for validation. (Now Twitter is known to post fake death news from time to time. Not so long ago, they had posted news of Mumtaz’s death – thankfully, fake.) But I wanted a second source.
Sadly, and I realized this very soon with a sinking feeling, the news on 18th July 2012 was not fake. Rajesh Khanna (or Kaka, as he was more affectionately known) HAD passed away. For the past year, he had been suffering from cancer – and the cancer had finally won.

Not all journeys have a pre-determined destination.
Sometimes a traveler sets off on a journey, purely with the intention of travel. For how long, which specific places he will travel to, where he will stop, who and what he will encounter…these are all unknown.
All he knows is that he has the desire to travel – and will travel for as long as he has such desire, and the ability to travel.

Hullo to all of Atuldom
Let me start by wishing all you readers a very Happy New Year. I hope you and your loved ones have a wonderful 2019, with a lot of happiness, good health and success in whatever you wish to achieve.
Today is the 2nd of January and our Anniversary Page tells me it is the birth anniversary of Sadashiv Amrapurkar, and the death anniversary of David.
But neither of these is the subject of my post today.
Absolutely no disrespect to them, but today’s post is about a couple of other persons who also happen to have their birthday today.
