In one of my recent posts, I had mentioned that Hindi movies typically have the same kind of songs, no matter what the genre of the song. What is more, the title of the movie, which indicates (or supposed to indicate) genre of the movie can often be misleading.

During 1930s and 1940s, when India was a desperately poor country, literacy level was very low. Even males were largely unlettered. The less said about the literacy of women, the better. So under those circumstances, an educated woman, who was also a workng woman, was a source of great curiousity among common folk. One can imagine how it must be like in 1940s. Basic literacy is one thing. To become educated in the medical field was obviously way tougher.

Many Rabindranath Tagore Novels have been made into films. One such novel that has inspired many movies in “Naukadoobi”, that was published in 1906. This story was made into Bangla movie wit h the same title in 1932, 1947, 1979 and 2011. This story inspired three Hindi movies as well, but these movies had different titles. They were made under the titles of “Milan”(19460, “Ghoonghat”(1960) and “Kashmkash”(2011).

I make it a point to wake up at around 4 AM every morning. I do that without fail. The idea is to take my two dogs on their morning walks, one dog at a time. The first dog (Junior Dog Izza) goes first. Her walk starts at around 4:30 and she is back by around 4:50. Then Bhole (the senior dog) goes on walk. His walk typically ends at 5:10 AM. That is the time when the sky begins to get brighter. It is then that “morning walkers” start coming out on roads for their morning walk. To my mind, the best time for morning walk is between 4:30 to 5 AM or so. That is the window of opportunity for a meaningful morning walk. At that time, it is actually morning (viz it is still pre dawn), very few people are out at that time, and one has true privacy, so to say.
