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.

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

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. 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 from a very old film Gol Nishan aka Mark of Zero – 1936. It is sung by Gauhar Karnataki.

The title of this film resembles the Hollywood silent film of the 1920 namely, “The Mark of Zorro” and a Talkie film bearing the same title made in 1940 again. Douglas Fairbanks was the hero in the silent film and Tyrone Power in the talkie film. The Hindi film Gol Nishan aka Mark of Zero was obviously inspired by the 1920 film of Zorro – the swashbuckling swordsman. The character of Zorro was the creation of the author Johnston McCulley in his 1919 story ” The curse of Capistrano”. I have seen films of Zorro during my younger age and I remember that Zorro used to leave a mark of Z with his sword, wherever he went.

Yesterday (24 April 2023), I was on an overdrive, as far as posting of articles in the blog was concerned. I ended up posting as many as eight articles on that day. Posting eight articles in a day was fairly common in the blog one decade ago. For instance, during april 2013, eight articles were covered on ten days and nine articles were covered on another four days. That year saw eight songs posted on as many as 36 days (10% of the days in that year). But things are different now a days. During the last seven years, we have touched this figure of eight songs in a day only four times !

Today’s song is from an early film of Geeta Roy, from a stunt film- Jeene Do-1948.

If the 50’s decade was that of Religious films, the 40’s decade was dominated by Action, Stunt and Costume films. As many as 28 such films were made in 1948 alone, which gives an average of more than 2 films every month, which is quite high. The reasons were many for such films being made in abundance. The audience for stunt/action films generally belonged to the lower middle class, poor, daily wage earners and labourers. They looked for fights,stunts, dances and cheap humour in these films.
