Meena Kumari, born Mahajabeen Bano, lived a relatively short life of 39 years, of which all but 4 years, she was working on the silver screen. Born of parents both of whom were stage and cinema artists, she took to working in films at the fragile age of four. She wanted to go to school, but the domestic economic situation decided otherwise for her. Her career took off in 1952/53 with hits like Baiju Baawra and Madhosh, and by the time she breathed her last in 1972, she had already acted in ninety plus films, and won 4 Filmfare awards. In the year 1962, she made history as being the only actress with three nominations for the best actress award in the same year (for Aarti, Mein Chup Rahoongi, and Sahib Biwi Aur Ghulam).

While the going is good (read I have access to internet in a place where such internet access is the stuff of fairytales), I am trying to discuss songs in a hurry, before the internet and electricity decide to do their disappearing act that is normal in these parts of India where I temporarily find myself.
