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.

They would share their experiences and play a few songs. This programme, to my mind, is one of the best ever radio programmes that one can think of. And what celebrities ! Almost all big names (with a few exceptions) presented Vishesh jaimala programmes those days.

We often read about real life following reel life and vice versa. I am not talking about movie actors playing roles based on some other real life people. I am talking of the actors playing their own real life stories on the silver screen.There have been quite a few cases where actors enacted their own real life stories in movies.

“Shankar Hussain” (1976) is a movie which has been forgotten with time though it is just over three decades old and is therefore of recent vintage by the standard of this blog. I recall that one of its songs became quite popular and in fact this song is regarded as a classic now. I am talking about the song Kahin ek maasoom naazuk si ladki which is a fantastic song sung by Rafi.
