It is generally believed that scriptwriters (I use this word to include story, screenplay and dialogue writers) in Hindi films gained recognition and their status enhanced thanks to Salim-Javed duo who reigned over Hindi film industry with their fast paced screen plays and dialogues during 70s and early 80s. In fact, those days during our family discussions, if someone gives a hard hitting response, we used to say “here comes Salim-Javed” which would help in bringing normalcy to the ongoing heated disussions. The duo became so popular that they used to decide who would be the lead actor in the films for which they wrote scripts. It is also believed that in addition to their fixed component of fees, they would also get a share of profits from the films for which they wrote. I have seen their names being printed in bold letters in film posters and newspapers advertisements signifying that along with lead actors, music director etc, the name of Salim-Javed also played a role in attracting cinegoers to the movie halls.

We missed a major anniversary three days ago. Remembering (belatedly) the litterateur, and the famous poet and lyricist, Pt. Narendra Sharma. 28th February, 2013, is the 100th birth anniversary of this illustrious man of letters. Narendra ji was born in 1913 in the village called Jehaangirpuri, in the vicinity of Bulandshehar in Uttar Pradesh, in a Brahmin Gaud family. He was a bright student. Despite losing his father at a very young age, he continued his education, while doing part time work to support himself. In 1936, he completed his Masters in Hindi Literature from Allahabad University.
