The personality personified in these two lines “Dil Hai Hamaara Phool Se Naazuk, Baazu Hain Faulaad” – that is the image of Dara Singh that I have always carried with me. A childhood hero, a super powerful man, who was always friendly and helpful for the needy, and was a scourge for the baddies.

There are qawwali’s and than there are some qawwali’s. Or should I say there are qawwalis and than there are some filmi qawwalis by Roshan. To begin with I am not a very big fan or a knowledgeable person to talk about qawwali, hence this flippancy 😉 .

Jo dil ki baat hoti hai

The haunting image of a worn-out, white bearded face, with lines of age alluding to maybe a century of anguish, haltingly climbing down the service staircase in the deserted studio, wanting to reach the chair with ‘Director’ imprinted on its back. Or the vision of a decrepit man standing in the theatre doorway, his hands out flung across the entrance, and the sharp lighting from behind giving an impression of a phoenix rising from the ashes. These two celluloid illustrations are probably two of a handful of very gripping, compelling and spellbinding images that have left a lasting imprint on the minds of the cinema viewers and more importantly, a telling statement that redefined the very cultural fabric of the society and of film making itself.

Phoolon se dosti hai

In old Hindi movies, especially those of 1950s and 1960s, we often see songs picturised on “Taanga”, also called “Tonga”, not to be confused with a country of this name. 🙂
“Taanga” was actually a mode of public transport in India those days. With time, Taanga has all but vanished as a mode of public transport in India. But they have not become extinct. One can still find them in some small towns of India. I have noticed them in small places in Madhya Pradesh, Chattisgarh etc. In fact, one can see them in Fatehpur Sikri near Agra in UP. I recall that we (I, my wife and daughter) actually rode on a Taanga to go to Fatehpur Sikri a few years ago.
