When I was informed that today (8 May 2023) is World Donkey Day, then my Initial reaction was to have a hearty laugh. I thought that yesterday (7 May ) was World laughter day. How come the next day is an extension of that Laughter day. I in fact thought of writing a post of World Donkey day. I asked Avinash Scrapwala, who sent me lyrics of a song for World laughter day, for a song for World Donkey day. He promptly sent me lyrics of a song.

My original idea was to write a light hearted post on this occasion. But when I carried out some research on the subject, the mood of amusement soon turned into a sombre mood. I realised that making fun of Donkeys was unfair. They have traditionally been given a rough deal in Indian culture which they did not deserve. Even our Hindi film songs where donkeys have been covered, have used donkeys as a matter of ridicule. When I listened to the song sent on this occasion, I was relieved to know that Donkey is not made a subject of ridicule in this song that I was afraid of.

Today’s song is from the film ‘Maharana Pratap’ (1946).

All those who know a little bit of Indian history, know about Maharana Pratap – a brave king who fought with the mighty Mughals, with meager support from other Indian kings from his region. He is one who never lost any battle. The names of Maharana Pratap and his famous horse Chetak are well known to us.

We often hear this lament from oldtimers that things were simpler in their days and they have become complicated now a days. As a fresh entrant into the club of oldtimers, I tend to agree. Things were really simple in the old days. And they were easy to remember as well if you were a student who was required to remember these facts.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2013-2023) – Song No.114
————————————————————————————–

On this date ten years ago (6 May 2013), six songs from six different movies (plus one non film song) were covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Post No Song Title Name of the movie Remarks
8046 Bhala thha kitna apna bachpan Hemant Kumar NFS(1941)
8047 Raushni apni umangon ki luta kar chal diye Naadaan (1943) 4 songs covered out of 11 by now
8048 Kis tarah bhoolega dil unka khayaal aaya huaa Village Girl (1945) 11 songs covered out of 12. Final song not available as of now
8049 Najariya mein aaiho Nadiya Ke Paar (1948) Movie YIPPEED in the blog with this song
8050 Wohi rota hua ek dil Lahore (1949) 9 songs covered out of 10 by now
8051 Jahaan jaayenge deewaane wahin mehfil jamaa lenge Isi Ka Naam Duniya Hai (1962) 3 songs covered out of 8 by now
8052 Dil haarne waale aur bhi hain Dil Diyaa Dard Liyaa (1966) Movie YIPPEED in the blog with this song

We observe that two movies (out of six)) whose songs were covered in the blog on this date ten years ago (on 6 May 2013) have since been YIPPEED in the blog. Both these movies in fact got YIPPEED on this very day ten years ago. That leaves us with four unYIPPEED movies that are eligible for Blog Ten Year Challenge.

“Isi Ka Naam Duniya Hai”(1962) is one of the BYTC eligible movies today.

Two of these unYIPPEED movies have just one song left to be covered. But these songs were rare and elusive songs. These movies are “Village Girl” (1945) and “Lahore”(1949).

Today’s song is a famous Ghazal by Mirza Ghalib, from the film Qaidi-1940.

Film Qaidi-1940 was a Landmark movie. It was a Muslim social film. It was not the first film depicting the muslim culture in a hindi film, still it occupies a special place in this Genre for many reasons. Muslims have been a major and the biggest Minority in India for many centuries. Muslim kings who came from outside India ruled this country for many years too. Therefore it was but natural that films depicting Muslim culture were made in India from the early era onwards after Talkie films started.

A R Rahman – The Musician of 21st Century – 6
—————————————————————-

This is post number 06 in the series. As musicians go, ARR is a complete package. He is also much more than a musician, has proved to be media savvy as well as a successful businessperson. He is the first of Indian film music directors to own his music. Previously all film music was owned by films producers/distributors or the music companies, who released records/cassettes/discs etc. The same system prevails in the industry. Only ARR is one who is different. In this regard too ARR is a trend setter. Lata Mangeshkar could think of only royalty and here we have a 90’s kid on the block, who aimed to own the world, at least his portion of it.

hum mehnatkash iss duniya se
jab apna hissa mangenge
ik baag nahin, ek khet nahin
ham saari duniyaa maangenge

There may be others who are following the same path, I don’t know. His growth in all the above, has been exponential and blessed. Some of the singers introduced by ARR have also matured and achieved great heights in their singing career.

The song I am presenting this time is from the film ‘The Legend of Bhagat Singh’ (2002) which surfaced in the memory while doing the earlier post of the same song from the 1963 film ‘Shaheed Bhagat Singh’ – “Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna Ab Hamaare Dil Mein Hai“.
