As it is, Blog century is a regular and recurring destination for the blog. after we arrive at a blog century, we do not take a pause rather keep continuing to cover more and more songs in the blog and before we realise, we are staring at the next blog century.
This has taught me a lesson that When you do not worry about the destination then you reach your destination almost painlessly and unnoticeably.When one thinks about it, one realises that we have had as many as 196 blog centuries already and now we are only blog century number 197, viz blog song post number 19700.
This blog century has been reached in 26 days, which appears quite a good pace for the blog at present. We cannot compare this rate from the last decade when we were clocking centuries in 16 days but then we were one decade younger at that time and we had far more energy.

Some years ago, I did start to write post of some colourful songs, shot outdoors. There are so many of them in hindi films, especially in colour movies, that they are countless. I have a weakness for scenic waterfalls, mountains, lakes, snow peaks, rivers, huge trees etc.
Today, I have dropped two posts in preparation, as I realized belatedly that they are posted. One had Dharmendra and other had Vinod Mehra, incidentally, singing Rafi solos, in Kashmir.
In my posts of the song “Jiya Jiya Re” (Jab Tak hai Jaan) I have mentioned that there must be reels and reels of footage shot of mountains, rivers of naturally beautiful locations in Kashmir, which were not used. For photographers would not be able to resist. In fact in one of the songs mentioned above, they had used shot visuals in the song, without the actors actually going there and shooting for the song. The shots looked like amalgamated with the actors singing in greenery.

The theme of a married woman who chooses her domestic responsibilities by giving up her flourishing singing career has been covered in some Hindi movies. The woman’s resultant emotional toll from her loneliness and the internal conflict between as a housewife and her unfulfilled aspirations was first explored in the film, ‘Anuradha’ (1960) as far as I know. In this film, Leela Naidu gives up her singing career to marry an idealistic doctor, Balraj Sahni who is completely engrossed in his work to serve the poor villagers. A somewhat similar situation is depicted in ‘Guide’ (1965) when Waheeda Rahman is forced to give up the dancing career by her husband, archaeologist, Kishore Sahu who is more passionate about his archaeological discoveries than about his wife. In Both these films, suppression of passion makes wife’s life miserable though the end result in both these films are different.
‘Abhinetri’ (1970) has a similar theme in which Hema Malini gives up her successful career as a dancer after her marriage with Shashi Kapoor. A scientist who gets completely engrossed with his research work in his laboratory. The film was produced and directed by Subodh Mukerji under the banner of Subodh Mukerji Productions. The cast included Shashi Kapoor and Hema Malini in the lead roles supported by Deb Mukerji, Nirupa Roy, Nazir Hussain, Asit Sen, Nazima, Badri Prasad, Bela Bose etc.

This is a role reversal to “Abhi na jaao chhod ke, ke dil abhi bhara Nahin”. Here Hema Malini is trying to stop Dharmendra from going to his job. She is calling him ‘Raja” and asking him not to leave her alone, take leave from work, or better to leave the job if he is not getting holiday. The filmy or flimsy situation, Lata Mangeshkar’s playback, Hema Malini looking resplendent in a red jacket/suit, begging. Dharmendra on his part is just trying to get away on whatever transport he can find and enjoying all the attention. All that bhav is good for the hero anyway. Songs like “haay haay yeh majboori”, “Na ja mere hamdam”, “bataa doon kya laana” and others convey the similar emotion in different ways.
