During the last eight months or so, I have been writing articles for the Blog covering songs from films mostly released on or after 2000. In my view, the selected songs are melodious with good lyrics, yet underrated. These songs have, more or less the same vibes as that of the songs of the golden period of Hindi film music. It may be a mere coincidence, but I found that most of these songs are from films which are off the mainstream Hindi films.

Deepti Naval is known for her roles in parallel/experimental Hindi films. After watching a couple of her TV interviews, I have come to know that she is a multi-faceted personality. Apart from acting, Deepti Naval is a writer and director. She is also a poet, a painter, and a photographer. Probably, she is the first Indian American who has been associated with Hindi films in India.

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.
