I was thinking of writing a post for a long time but never put thoughts into digital format. I am “The” Ms. Lazybones 🙂

Finally, thanks to the mail thread about the November 7th Gangout in Bangalore which is currently in progress with lots of enthusiasm, I am ready with a post.

In the mail thread, our own Sudhir ji added Srinivas Ganti ji inviting him to the gangout. Though Ganti ji is unable to attend it, he shared with us an article written by him on few of Lata ji’s melodies. Being a die-hard fan of Lata ji, I was completely bowled over. I immediately mailed Ganti ji about re-using his article in a series of posts. I didn’t expect him to reply so fast, I got a reply within one hour. Permission was granted 🙂 Not only that, he even shared a link where transliteration of the lyrics were made available by none other than him.

Today (6 october 2015) is the 69th birth anniversary of Vinod Khanna (DOB 6 october 1946). The dashing actor of 1970s was the only real competitor of Amitabh Bachchan for the top slot in 1970s. Just when it looked like Vinod Khanna was going to launch a serios bid for the top slot, he got disillusioned with life and turned spiritual, only to get disillusioned with his spiritualism again and he came back to acting again. It was too late for him by that time of course.

Genius of Jaidev – 29

At last, “Mere DHIRaj ka badla SuDHIR-ji ne de hi diya.”

For quite a long time I was ignorant about this song except its mention in HFGK. Sudhirji, not only searched out the song for me, but also posted it on ‘YouTube’ to save my labour. I am going to thank him further, when as per his promise, he is going to colour-code the lyrics.

“Houston, we have a problem.”

This famous quote from the Hollywood film ‘Apollo 13’ (1995) pertains to the problem on board NASA’s unsuccessful mission to the moon. Though there is a different version to the line from NASA’s actual transcript, the phrase has now become part of everyday language for reporting any kind of problem.

Earlier in the morning today, I received an email.  Antaraa Mondal, film journalist and a good friend, sent me a link.  This link is for an interview of Majrooh Sultanpuri by Peeyush Sharma, originally recorded in 1993.  And republished today.  On the anniversary of his birth.  I read through the interview.  I find quite a bit of discussion of Majrooh Sb’s working with another stalwart, music director SD Burman.  Quite a coincidence that it is the birth anniversary of Burman Dada also today.

Today (1 october 2015) is the 109th birth anniversary of S D Burman (1 October 1906 – 31 October 1975). So it is our duty as a music blog to try and discuss a few songs composed by S D Burman on the occasion. Today is the 96th birth anniversary of Majrooh Sultanpuri (1 October 1919 – 24 May 2000) as well. We have discussed one song of each of them today. We will try to discuss more of their songs today including a song where the two collaborated together.

Today (1 october 2015) is the 96th birth anniversary of Majrooh Sultanpuri(1 October 1919 – 24 May 2000). He is easily the most prolific lyricist during the golden era of HFM before Anand Bakshi. Maintaining quality and quantity as well as great rapport with all music directors was the secret of his long and successful career.

Missing Films of 1960s – 1
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –

Let me explain the title and the intent of this new series.  This series is an outcome of the project that our dear Katie Ben from ‘saat samundar paar se’ has undertaken, after she got hold of the Geet Kosh volumes.  She zeroed in on volume 4, and she set about identifying all the films of the 1960s, that have yet to find a representation on the blog.  Specifically, the period covered is 1961 to 1970.  So she has very zealously pored through the fourth volume, page by page, film by film, and simultaneously kept on checking with the data on the blog.  The outcome of her effort is summarized as follows.
