I have been dithering for the last two days on the issue of which song post to send, as my 100th post. Now that I have decided on a song which is old enough and a Rafi solo, and melodious and touching as I wanted just such a song for this occasion. For some reason I have suddenly become tongue tied, or key board tied. Not that key boards ever get tied up like our human minds or tongues. But they do give us trouble, whenever we treat them badly. Only last week, it suffered a blow, with a steel bowl. And the key ‘ e ‘ came loose. It just wouldn’t stick in its place, I had all sorts of trouble in completing the last write up. Ideally I should have tried to complete the write up without using ‘e’. It is possible, as I read a paragraph on facebook, completely devoid of the alphabet ‘e’. Maybe next time this sort of thing happens, with a little used alphabet”s key than, it should be worth trying.

This is the last remaining song from Anjaana (1969). It is a ‘Jeep’ song and happens right at the beginning of the film. I got a chance to see this movie on T V during a weekend. Much to my chagrin, they cut two songs from the movie. Somebody tell these T V channels that this is a 60’s movie not 80’s movie, hence the songs are not surplus and they are the main attraction. I could see the song situation in the scene’s leading up to the song, only to see the scene after the song next. My husband alerted me that they are cutting the songs, as the ‘bhai-bahen’ song Hum behnon ke liye mere bhaiyya was cut.

It is raining cats and dogs in Mumbai for the last month. I have had three visits out of town during the last one and half month, which is bad enough. And more socializing than usual and some busy anxious days in the office, had me juggling so many things. Then there was cleaning and re-organizing the home also had to find place in this melee. This is the reason why I have been missing a lot of happenings on the blog. Moreover this is likely to continue for at least two months, with Ramazan coming up soon, and visitors from abroad. And possibly more outstation trips.

Of late, my guest posts here have been infrequent. And have almost always been for a particular occasion – an anniversary or blog milestone. Regulars here have brought this to my notice, saying that I should post more frequently and not just on occasions. I’m flattered and honoured that they like reading my posts. So a big thank you to all of them. I’m always happy to do a write-up here on this beloved blog – and if it’s been only on special occasions so far, it’s purely coincidental.
