Hullo Atuldom

Got to know that today is International Family Day. ‘Family’ is something that one doesn’t choose, a person is usually born into a family. The starting point of any family are the husband and wife who get to choose each other (atleast in modern times, not in the times of my parents or even till the turn of the century). In my opinion, the anniversary of our parents should be what we celebrate as ‘Family day’ or ‘Foundation Day’ (as I like to call it 😀) But that is my thought I don’t expect people to agree with me.

Google tells that “International Day of Families” is observed globally on May 15. Established by the United Nations General Assembly in 1993, the day aims to promote awareness about the social, economic, and demographic issues that affect families worldwide. The key theme for 2026 include ‘Families, Inequalities, and Child Wellbeing’ and ‘Family- Oriented Policies for Sustainable Development’ emphasizing resilience and support.

Hullo Atuldom

30th March marks 24 years since Anand Bakshi bid goodbye to this mortal world. He was all of 72 then. In the 45 years that he was active in the Hindi film industry he had worked with nearly 95-100 music directors (as per google) beginning with “Silver King” (1957) which had music by Sudipta (knowledgeable Atulites, please confirm if this music director is same as Sudipta Bhattacharya) & “Bhala Aadmi” (1958) with music by Nisar Bazmi; Bakshisaab first wrote for ‘Bhala Aadmi’ but ‘Silver King’ released first is what I discovered on google as I sat to write this post.

This movie’s story takes place on a cruise ship. Cruise ship travel is still out of affordability area for the common people in India. I do not know anyone who does this type of travel or holidays. The way of life involving Yachts, Marinas and Cruise ships is very foreign to India. I saw one cruise ship in Liverpool. I saw some people who were from that ship roaming around the harbour area, with the Beatles museum, and the eateries, a very ordinary boat ride around the inner harbour/backwaters. They stood out as they were not casual tourists. At least I thought so, as I pride myself on my powers of observation and differentiation.

A R Rahman – The Musician of 21st Century – 8

The film “Dil Se” released in 1998, and by this time A. R. Rehman, has revolutionized the Hindi film music. With the south Indian flavour to his compositions, with various talented singers from the region were flooding the hindi film music world. Mostly his films would be originally made in Tamil, Telegu or Malayalam, and later remade in hindi or sometimes just dubbed in hindi.

His music and rerecording the songs in hindi required, rewriting the lyrics in hindi/urdu to mean and sound the same in hindi films. It was a difficult task for lyricists like Mehboob and later on Gulzar to retain the meaning and spirit of the earlier songs, while converting them for the larger hindi film audience.

Yesterday (26 January 2025) was 75th Republic day of India. It was a sunday and I wonder if some people who had to turn up for flag unfurling in their workplaces were unhappy that they had to come to office even on a sunday. 🙂 I also wonder if some school kids felt the same way. Back in my school days (which I am aghast to realise was half a century ago), school kids looked up to this day and 15th august because it meant every student got laddoos to eat. Many school kids even brought their younger siblings (who had not yet started going to school) with them because they too got laddoos on the occasion. 🙂 Perhaps some of these young kids were motivated to go to school later because of this fact.

I recall that one of my classmates had decided that he would become a member of school football team when he reached class nine. His reason was simple, players of the football team got jalebis after each practice session. 🙂 He actually became a member of the football team as he had planned. 🙂 I hope school kids of today have the same motivation alive in them to come to school, play in their school team etc. 🙂
