When we discuss songs of 1930s and 1940s, we tend to think that those days that are now 80 to 90 years behind us were similar to present days, as far as listening to songs was concerned. This assumption is highly incorrect. Today everyone is able to listen to any song that is available online. Those days technology was far less advanced. Forget internet, even Radio and TV were in their infancy. Record players and movies were the only means to listening to songs. Record players were very expensive. Only rich people could afford them. Even Radio was expensive. Even if Radio was there, there were very few Radio stations that played film songs. For majority of people, visiting movie halls may have been the only way they would be ale to listen to a song. If the movie was a hit movie, then getting entry into the movie hall was a tall order. One needed to brave big crowd and somehow jostle one’s way to the ticket counter and shove one’s hand, with money in it, inside the round counter measuring less than six inch in diameter and tell the counter clerk how many ticket you required.

Hullo Atuldom

Back after a gap of around one & half months.

Have been so active, doing various other activities, that for the first time, since 2009 (when I discovered the blog) and 2012 (when my first post appeared on the blog), I missed a few milestones (the 17,700th post) on the day it was posted. Also missed a post by Sudhir ji, which featured a song which I simply love to see “Wo Ladki Hai Kahaan“.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2012-2022) – Song No. 36
————————————————————————————–

This date ten years ago (viz 24 march 2012) saw five songs from five different movies getting covered in the blog. Here are the details:-

Blog Post number Song Movie (Year) Remarks
5686 Beena madhur madhur kachhu bol Ram Rajya(1943) 5 songs covered so far out of 12
5687 Chhota sa fasaana hai tere mere pyaar ka Birha Ki Raat(1950) Movie YIPPEED by now
5688 Ye zindagi ka mausam aur ye samaa suhaana Ghoonghat (1960) Movie YIPPEED by now
5689 Wo ghar ghar ke diye bujhaakar bane huye dhanwaan Ham Bhi Insaan Hain (1948) 4 songs covered so far out of 9
5690 Chal diye banda nawaaz Mr and Mrs 55(1955) Movie YIPPEED by now

We can see from the table that three of the movies whose songs were covered on 24 march 2012 have since been YIPPEED. That leaves us with two movies that are still unYIPPEED and therefore eligible for Blog Ten Year challenge today on 24 March 2022.

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Shaayar-e-Kashmir Mahjoor’.

I had never read or heard about this movie earlier till I become aware of this in HFGK Vol-V (1971-1980). It seems to be an obscure movie and very less information about it is available so far. Luckily though few of its songs have been uploaded by music lovers and I sincerely express my gratitude towards them.

Today’s song is from the film Phir Milenge-1942.

The film was made by Minerva Movietone. In 1942, WWII was on its peak. Till that time, the Germans were on the attack, but from 1942 onwards, their decline had started and by 1945 end, both Japan and Germany had lost the war and surrendered to the Allies. However, the damage caused by the war situation continued for a few more years and like all other industries the film industry too took time to normalise its set up.

Centuries – pivotal events. And always welcome. Give us a quantized measure of manageable progress.  Like one part of a lo..ong project accomplished. Or like completing one cycle of an endless process. Would we like to compare with the earth going around the sun? Maybe not a good idea. A century taking 365 days to complete. Or maybe compare to Victor Trumper and Don Bradman and Majid Khan – getting a century in the very first session of a test match. Ah but that maybe going too fast for this crowded bandwagon of Atulites.
