“Meri Bhaabhi”(1948) was a movie produced under the banner of Jubilee Pictures, Bombay. Very little information is available about this obscure movie. Names of producer, director, actors are not known. The number of songs in this movie is not known though it is known that the movie had at least four songs in it.
One song from “Meri Bhaabhi”(1948) was covered in the blog in the past. Here is the second song from the movie to appear in the blog. This song is sung by Geeta Dutt and Sheela Shirur. Gulshan Jalalabadi is the lyricist. Music is composed by R A Paijankar who was same as Ramakant Paingankar aka P Ramakant.

‘Anjangarh’ (1948) was directed by Bimal Roy for New Theatres, Calcutta. This movie had Bipin Gupta, Ajay Kumar, Hiralal, Sunanda Devi, Rama Indu, Parulkar, Bhupendra Kapoor, Tulsi Chakraborty, Asit Sen, Jahar Roy etc in it.
This movie had six songs in it.
HFGK mentions that all six songs of the movie were composed by RC Boral.
One song from ‘Anjangarh’ (1948) was covered in the blog. This song, which appears to be a prayer, was sung by Pankaj Mullick and Utpala Sen. Pt Bhushan was the lyricist. The post mentioned RC Boral as the music director as mentioned in HFGK.
Then Mr Sunil Trivedi who was quite close to Pankaj Mullick, sent a message to our beloved in-house encyclopedia Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh. He mentioned that
Dear Arunkumar ji,
I received from Harishbhai Raghuvanshi atulsongaday.me write up on above. MD is stated as RC Boral. Though he was MD for entire movie but not for 2 songs of Pankaj Mullick this + Aye julm ki janjir se jakade hue quaidee. Both songs WERE COMPOSED BY PANKAJDA HIMSELF. PANKAJDA HAS NEVER SANG SOMEONE’s COMPOSITIONS incl Hindi song of Bangla movie Monihar sung by Pankajda,music was by Pankajda and not movie MD Hemantkumar.Regards,
Sunil Trivedi ”
Accordingly, we revised the name of the music director to Pankaj Mullick.
It was mentioned in that e mail that Pankaj Mullick had sung another song in the movie.
Here is that Pankaj Mullick solo song from ‘Anjangarh’ (1948). This song is penned by Ramesh Chandra Pandey. As mentioned by Mr Sunil Trivedi, this song was composed by Pankaj Mullick himself.
Only the audio of this song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the movie as well as on the picturisation of this song.
I have not been able to note down the lyrics fully to my satisfaction and there are gaps/ errors in the lyrics. I request our readers with keener ears to help fill in the gaps/ suggest corrections in the lyrics as applicable.

Lyrics

bekhatke badhe jaa tu mazboot kiye dil
maanega zamaana teri har baat ka loha
maanega zamaana teri har baat ka loha
choti pe himalay ki tera hoga sinhaasan
ae zulm ki zanjeer se jakde huye qaidi
tu dar na zara
dar na zara

Today’s song is from the film Bhool-1948.
The film was made by V.Shantaram’s Rajkamal Kalamandir, Bombay. However Shantaram was not directly connected with it in any way officially. It was directed by one of his younger brothers V.Avadhoot, who was basically a Cinematographer. Even for this film he worked partly as a Cinematographer and during that time, it is said, V.Shantaram Ghost-Directed the film !
When I was collecting information about this film, I was perplexed to read in the review of this film that the zFilm India Editor Baburao patel was repeatedly mentioning that the ‘Film is directed by V.Avadhoot, brother of Shantaram, who was the brother of Kashinath”. I was wondering who this Kashinath was. When I went deeper in the search for Kashinath, I got information, which I never knew. I am sure, like me, most of the people did not know what I read on one of the foreign sites on the Internet. This information was hidden from the Indians so far.
When Shantaram’s mother Kamlabai married his father Rajaram Vankudre, he was a widower with 3 sons from his first wife – Keshav, Ramkrishna and kashinath. After this marriage, Rajaram got 2 more sons, Shantaram and Avadhoot. These two went into the film line, while their step brothers kept off from the films. That is why, perhaps, their names were never known to anyone and Shantaram also never mentioned them in his lifetime.
The film had a Debutante Music Director S. Purushottam (mentioned only as Purushottam in HFGK, film credits and film booklet also) or Purushottam Solankurkar. PURUSHOTTAM SOLANKURKAR or S. Purushottam ( 9-4-1919 to 30-1-1958 ) was from Kolhapur district. Born in a poor family, he was the youngest in three brothers. The eldest brother was a good singer under Abdul Kareem khan. The middle one had his ” Yashwant Sangeet Vidyalaya” in Kolhapur. Purushottam was a student of Vidyapeeth School. Bereft of higher education, Purushottam started learning to play various instruments, Violin, Sarangi, Harmonium and Tabla.
When he was 21 years of age, he started playing in the concerts of Kumar Gandharva or Shivaputra Siddaramaiah komkali- as an accompanist. Vasant Desai-who was a ‘de facto’ Talent Hunter for V.Shantaram ( he had already discovered Promodini and Vinodini Desai and Vatsala Kumthekar) spotted him in one Mehfil and called him to Bombay. Shantaram gave him his brother’s film ” Bhool”-48 and Maharashtra Chitravani’s film Mere Laal-48 as a Music Director.
He was an excellent singer himself and had a very good voice. Noted composer Sudhir Phadke, who was his classmate in school, used to praise his singing, but Purushottam never sang any film song in his career. He believed that his job was to compose music and not singing.
Impressed with his style, Shantaram gave him his revolutionary film ‘Apna Desh’-49. True to his salt, Purushottam presented 2 Ghazals of Ghalib,’ Koi umeed nahi hain” and Dil e naadan in a totally non-traditional tune and style. The Tamil and Telugu versions of this film were also done by Purushottam. Vasant kumari sang Tamil songs and Telugu songs were sung by Beauty Queen Surya Kumari. Later Shantaram gave ‘ Dahej’-50 to Vasant Desai and Purushottam.
Discarded, without reason, as was his habit, by Shantaram, Purushottam did Devyani-52 and Durga Khote’s Sandesh-52. In all he did 6 Hindi films and 2 Marathi films, as Music Director. Realising that he had no scope in films anymore, Purushottam returned to Kumar Gandharva once again ,as his accompanist. Thus he disappeared from the film line and there was no trace of him afterwards. One more name was added to less known and forgotten composers’ list ! (Some information used herein is from Marathi Sangeetkar kosh, with thanks.)
Purushottam was a victim of the ” Studio victims” syndrome, which was seen in the 30’s and 40’s period, when studios were the most important segment of the filmmaking chain. The owners, due to their whims or may be due to unknown/undisclosed reasons used to bind a budding artiste and then not give him any role or songs. With such a policy, careers of many good potential artistes were spoiled. Among such cases, V.Shantaram was notoriously prominent. Because of his whims, actors like D.K.Saproo, Kamla Kotnis, singer actress Manju (wife of Karan Dewan) as well as MDs like Purushottam and Vasant Desai suffered. Manju and kamala Kotnis could not shine, but others tried hard and made their careers outside. Sohrab Modi also tried to blackmail Meena Shorey by asking Rs. 60,000 in early 40’s to release her from his contract. Thanks to the intervention of Mehtab, she could pay only Rs.30,000 and got rid of Modi’s contract. Bombay Talkies also spoiled the career of actress Mrudula – first heroine of Dilip Kumar. W.Z.Ahmed Troubled actress Shama Dulari and singer Sitara kanpuri. Only when Ahmed migrated to Pakistan, these artistes were free. These are the known examples. How many are not known, only God knows !
The cast of the film was Dewan Sharar, Suman, Umesh Sharma, Parshuram,K.Datey, Sunderabai etc.etc. Today’s song is sung by Lalita Deulkar. LALITA DEULKAR (LALITA PHADKE, after marriage) was born in Bombay in 1924.She was not interested in acting or singing,but poor family conditions and father’s T.B.,forced her to earn a living by singing and acting. During 1940-45,she recorded many songs. One Mr. Dulerai Pandya,a Gujarati,owned” The National Recording Co.Ltd.” in Bombay’s fort area. There was a Tricolour shown on the labels of the records,hence this company was known as Jhandewali record co.. V.Shantaram was also on its Board of Directors. Initially Prabhat and later Rajkamal film songs were issued on Jhanda Chhap records only. The company had hired Datta Davjekar for Marathi and Avinash vyas and Lallubhai Bhojak for Hindi and Gujarati songs. She recorded many Darya songs and Bhavgeets in this company.Along with her,Gajanan Watwe,Jyotsna Bhole also recorded songs here. Some records named her as Lalita Devi. Once Saraswati Devi heard her and gave her a chance to do small roles and sing in the chorus of songs of Bombay Talkies films. Her Debut was made with the song “Raja hamen na niharo”. It was a duet with Balwant Singh, in the film Navjeevan-39.
After singing songs in films like Parbat pe apna dera-44,Valmiki-46 and Eight Days-46,she got a good break in the film Saajan-1947. Her duet with Rafi, ” Humko tumhara hi aasra” is remembered even today. ( She was a senior singer and Rafi was new. It is said that he had become nervous, but Lalita encouraged him and they sang an evergreen duet song.) Film Nadiya ke paar-48 also had a duet with Rafi,” More raja ho,le chal nadiya ke paar” which was very popular. C.Ramchandra was MD for both these films. She sang in several other films like Bhakta Dhruv, Khidki, Jalan, Shaheed,Shakti, Vidya, Bedard, Daulat, Girls school, Jai Bheem, Roshni, Sanwariya, Shabnam, Apni Chhaya, Malti Madhav, Pahli Tarikh, Sajni etc.
In all she acted in 5 films and sang 79 songs in 36 films.
She got married to Composer Sudhir Phadke (25-7-1919 to 29-7-2002),on 29-5-1949 at Poona. Their common friend Mohd. Rafi sang a specially prepared and meticulously rehearsed ” Mangalashtak ” ( an eight stanza marriage song in Marathi),in their marriage. After marriage she sang only in films of Sudhir Phadke. After Sajni-56,she stopped singing completely and became a devoted housewife. It is a coincidence that her first famous song was in the film Saajan-1947 and her last song was in the film Sajani-1956 ! She died on 25-5-2010. Their son Shridhar Phadke is a well known Marathi singer and composer.
Let us now listen to this song…..

Today’s song is from a debut making film ‘Ek Aurat’ from 1948.
This is one of those 206 films made between 1931 to 2012, whose title started with the word ‘EK’ – the most favourite prefix of the filmmakers. Out of these 206 films, 32 films started with ‘Ek Aur. . .’. Just a trivia !
Trivia aside, let us talk about today’s film, ‘Ek Aurat’. The film was produced and directed by SD Narang. He was also the film’s hero.
Today’s film is an indicator how hard working filmmakers, after the Partition, left Lahore but did not leave making films. Narang was one of the pioneers and he had done good work in Lahore to establish its Film Industry, but he was forced to leave the city and run to the other far off side of the country, Calcutta- a thriving film city in Eastern India. This most educated person in the Indian Film industry ever, Narang’s life story is very inspiring.
Here is a story which is stunning and unbelievable ! He was born on 18-6-1918, at Lyallpur, Punjab. He studied hard and got higher education. First he did B.Sc., then completed M.B.B.S. and became a Medical Doctor. Later he submitted a Thesis and got his Ph.D. All this from Lahore Medical College. He also wrote some research papers and two books. With this sparkling education, he could have had a luxurious living, but he chose to join the uncertain Film World. True to his wont, he succeeded here too and became a hero, producer, director, studio owner, a lyricist and a writer.
Yes, in the early era of the late 1930s, when educated people were a rarity, this highly qualified young man came into films. His name was SATYA DEV NARANG or simply, SD Narang. (18-6-1918 to 25-1-1986 ). Here are some highlights of his life, adapted from the site sdnarangsfan.com…with thanks.
1. During his life, from 1918 to 1986, he served the Indian Film Industry, at three capitals of this industry, Lahore (1936 to 1946), Calcutta (1947 to 1951) and Bombay (1952 to 1980), as hero, producer, director, writer and studio owner.
2. He had the distinction of being the highest educated man in the film industry. He was B.Sc., M.B.B.S and Ph.D from Lahore Medical College.
3. He had the credit of being the debut making leading man of ‘Khazanchi’ (1941) which was the first Indian film to celebrate Platinum Jubilee.
4. He was the youngest leading man in Lahore, who played the lead in ‘Khazanchi’, ‘Ravi Paar’, ‘Zamindar’, ‘Patwari’, ‘Gawandi’, ‘Thekedar’, ‘Sahara’, ‘Yeh Hai Zindagi’ (his first venture as producer-director) and ‘Kamini’.
5. In Calcutta he produced ‘Chittagong Armoury Raid’, which was India’s First Revolutionary Film. He also produced ‘Nai Bhabhi’, ‘Ek Raat’, ‘Aprajita’, and ‘Chiner Putul’ and also played the leading roles in these films. Apart from his own movies, he played the lead in ‘Iran Ki Ek Raat’ and ‘Kajari’, which were produced by other producers.
6. After partition, he had to leave Lahore, like a refugee, leaving all his assets and immovable property behind him. With his hard work and experience once again he was able to establish himself as the hero, producer, director, writer and studio owner at Calcutta. But the studio proved a disaster for him. Being a soft hearted person, he was giving credit to the producers, who used to shoot their films in his studio. They duped him and he had to suffer heavy losses. With this bitter experience he left the city and entered the City of Dreams and the capital of entertainment, Bombay, in 1952.
7. Being a passionate movie maker, Dr. SD Narang was able to get himself settled in Bombay, within a very short span of time. He had already dedicated himself to the silver screen. Once again he rose from his own ashes, like a phoenix.
8. He made his presence felt in a big way in the big City of Bombay.
He produced and directed many films with big stars. In ‘Tanhai’ and ‘Darban’ he played the leading role himself. Some of the important films produced by him in Bomby (now Mumbai) include, ‘Arab Ka Saudagar’, ‘Yahudi Ki Ladki’, ‘Dilli Ka Thug’, ‘Sagai’, ‘Babul Ki Galiyan’, ‘Do Thug’, ‘Ram Kasam’, ‘College Girl’, ‘Do Ustad’, ‘Kismatwala’ and ‘Nishanebaaz’. He had also produced ‘Shehnai’, which was India’s first Air-Force film.
9. He was also the producer of ‘Bombay Ka Chor’, which was India’s first ‘Holiday-on-Ice’ movie.
10. He has also the credit of producing India’s first under-water-movie, ‘Anmol Moti’, a Jeetendra and Babita starrer.
11. The movie maker with Midas touch, Dr. SD Narang, had spent his 50 golden years of his cinematic profession, in the service of Silver Screen. (1936-86)
12, Before venturing into the film industry as the leading man, SD Narang, had an aptitude for research and while studying in Lahore Medical College, he did research on ‘Binocular Theory Of Vision’, which was published in his college magazine. He bagged the Ph.D and became the Doctor of Philosophy, though he was already a Doctor of Medicine.
13, Apart from being the author of a novel ‘Hippy Aur Yogi’ and ‘Human Psychology’, he had written a most praiseworthy book, ‘An Introduction To The Theory Of Bio-Economics’. It was actually a new approach to diagnosis and cure of inflation and poverty. If applied to the present global financial crisis, it can change the face of the fiscal fate of the world.
14. In 1960 he got married to actress of his time Smriti Biswas, with whom he had played the lead in many films. After her marriage she stopped signing new films, and decided to play the roles of faithful wife and caring mother. She preferred to prepare food for her beloved sons Rajiv Narang and Satyajeet Narang.
The film ‘Ek Aurat’ was made under the banner of Bengal National Studios, Calcutta. The cast of the film was Narang, Geetashree, Smriti Biswas, Sundar, Heeralal and many Bangla artistes. I remember Smriti’s role as Master Bhagwan’s beloved in the film ‘Bhagam Bhag’ (1956).
The 10 songs of this film were written by BM Sharma who also wrote for other films like ‘Nai Bhabhi’ (1950), ‘Roop Kahani’ (1950), ’25th July’ (1951), ‘Anmol Sahara’ (1952), ‘Chhoti Maa’ (1952) and ‘Yatrik’ (1952). The music directors were Gopen Mullick and Harbaksh Singh. No information on Harbaksh Singh.
Gopen Mullick was a well known name as a composer in Bangla films and non film songs, till 1966. In Hindi, he did only this one film. However his wife Rekha Mitra Mullick (born on 26-8-1929) acted and sang few songs in Hindi films like ‘My Sister’ (1944), ‘Hamrahi’ (1945), ‘Shair’ (1949), ‘Do Bigha Zameen’ (1953), ‘Parineeta’ (1953), ‘Kohinoor’ (1960) and ‘Teesri Kasam’ (1967). She also acted in Bangla and Tamil films. She acted as Rekha Mitra and sang as Rekha Mullick.
Smriti Biswas, a protestant Bangla Christian was born in Calcutta on 17-2-1932. She studied in Missionary girls school. Her father and mother, both, were Headmaster and Headmistress in other schools. Smriti had a liking for acting. When she was just 12 year old, she acted in the film ‘Hamrahi’ and ‘Dwand’ (Bangla). When this was known in her house, she was put in another school. Later, the family shifted to Lahore. There Smriti acted in the film ‘Ragini’ (1945), opposite Pran and also some other films.
After Partition, they came to Delhi. Smriti met Dr. SD Narang, actor, producer and director. He starred in the film ‘Ek Baat’ and Bangla film ‘Chinni Putul’, which became a hit film. In 1951, Smriti shifted base to Bombay. According to her interview, before coming to Bombay she had acted in 26 films. However no details are available for this. In 1953 she acted in ‘Shamsheer’ and also as a heroine of Dev Anand in the film ‘Hum Safar’ (1953).
Though she was a star in Calcutta and Lahore, in Bombay she mostly got roles as a vamp only. She claims to have worked in 90 films. Some of her well known films are ‘Dilli Ka Thug’, ‘Baap Re Baap’, ‘Bhagam Bhag’, ‘Sailaab’, ‘Jagte Raho’, ‘Aab e Hayaat’, ‘Hamdard’, ‘Teen Batti Char Raasta’, ‘Abhimaan’, ‘Daaka’ etc . As per one source, she acted in 43 films. Her last film was ‘Modern Girl’ (1961).
Smriti was proficient in fluent English, riding, swimming and cooking. She could play sitar, harmonium and guitar. She was very jolly like a tomboy. Smriti got married to Dr. Narang in 1960 and left films forever. She has 2 sons. After the death of Narang in 1986, she gave her bungalow for development to a builder, who cheated her and she became homeless. She changed 28 houses in Bombay. She also lost her houses in Delhi and Mahabaleshwar due to crooked relatives. Finally, poor Smriti shifted to Nashik and lives in a 500 sq.feet flat. Till last year she was in Nashik.
Today’s song is sung by Sandhya Mukherjee and is composed by Gopen Mullick. With this song, film ‘Ek Aurat’ and Music Director Gopen Mullick make their debut on this Blog.
Song-Aankhen hain milin aansoo bahaane ke liye kya (Ek Aurat)(1948) Singer-Sandhya Mukherjee, Lyrics-BM Sharma, MD-Gopen Mullick
Lyrics
aankhen hain milin
aansu bahaa aa aane ke liye kya aa
aankhen hain milin aansu bahaane ke liye kya
aur dil hai mila toot hi jaane ke liye kya
duniya mein ham ghareeb hain ye boley aasmaan
duniya mein ham ghareeb hain ye boley aasmaan
paida huye hain thhokaren khaane ke liye kya
paida huye hain thhokaren khaane ke liye kya
chhoti si aarzoo bhi na poori ho hamaari
chhoti si aarzoo bhi na poori ho hamaari
uthhti hai tamannaayen so jaane ke liye kya
uthhti hai tamannaayen so jaane ke liye kya
ik zindagi mein maut ko pukaaren laakh baar
ik zindagi mein maut ko pukaaren laakh baar
paayee hai jabaan ?? bulaane ke liye kya
aankhen hain milin aansoo bahaane ke liye kya
Kise main apna haal sunaaun

“Manager”(1947) was directed by I P Tiwari for Tiwari Productions, Bombay. This social movie had Poornima, Jaiprakash, Sarla, Aziz, Tiwari, Aminabai, Sakeena, Lal, Govind etc in it.
HFGK mentions Kumar Sharma as the lyricist and Ramkrishn Shinde as the music director. Seven songs are listed under this movie, but details of singers are missing.
One song from “Manager”(1947) has been covered in the blog. That article (by our beloved inhouse encyclopaedia Mr Arunkumar Deshmukh) added considerably to our knowledge about this highly obscure movie.
This movie was the first and last movie to this production house floated by this person I P Tiwari. Little is known about this movie. One article in Film India magazine in those days contains a comment about this movie. According to that comment, it was a film about mill workers and their relations with its Manager.
The movie may have been titled “Manager”, but the mukhda of the songs mentioned in HFGK hardly suggests that. The songs are mostly about haal e dil, except one song that was about haal e mill. :).
The one song that has been covered was rut rangeeli aayi sajaniya, which is clearly a love long, and not a song about the working of a mill.
The second song under discussion is “kise main apna haal sunaaun”. The singing voice sound like a child but the song is about “beet gaye din apne suhaane gaate thhe jab pyaar ke gaane”. Imagine a child like voice singing like he was in love long time back. 🙂
Only audio of the song is available. The song was uploaded six years ago, and in these six years only obtained three likes and three comments. But one of the comments in invaluable. It says that all but one song from this movie appeared in “Kiski Jeet”(1948) as well. This movie “Kiski Jeet”(1948) has not yet debuted in the blog. This comment suggests that by default, this movie too has got onboard. On looking at the entry of “Kiski Jeet”(1948), we find that this movie too was a Tiwari Production movie, but here the director was Safdar Mirza. Sarla, Aminabai, Tiwari, are three names that are there in “Kiski Jeet”(1948) as well. In addition, this movie has Indu Kulkarni, Pushpa, Chandrika,Sadiq, Maqbool, Mustafa, Vakeel, Bismillah, Mohammad, Sandow etc as well.
So, some interesting informations have become known about this movie thanks to a chance remark in Film India in 1947 and another chance remark in a youtube link in 2022. 🙂
Here is this obscure song from “Manager”(1947). This song, and also the first song of this movie covered in the blog, appear in “Kiski Jeet”(1948) as well.
Song-Kise main apna haal sunaaun (Manager)(1947) Singer-Unknown voice, Lyrics-Kumar Sharma, MD-Ramkrishn Shinde
Lyrics
kise main apna haal sunaaun
kya karoon
kya karoon
kise main apna haal sunaaun
kya karoon
kya karoon
chaaron oar chhaaya andhiyaara
chaaron oar chhaaya andhiyaara
toot gaya asha ka taara
toot gaya asha ka taara
kya karoon
kya karoon
kise main apna haal sunaaun
kya karoon
kya karoon
beet gaye din apne suhaane
beet gaye din apne suhaane
gaate thhe jab pyaar ke gaane
gaate thhe jab pyaar ke gaane
pyaar ke kisse huye puraane
pyaar ke kisse huye puraane
beete dinon ko kaise bhulaaun
beete dinon ko kaise bhulaaun
kya karoon
kya karoon
kise main apna haal sunaaun
kya karoon
kya karoon

| 17766 | Ho o nirmohee bansi waale | Shamshad Begam | 19 May 2023 |
We can make some interesting observations about the songs of “Veena”(1948) covered so far in the blog:-
(1) Three male singers- Mukesh, C Ramchandra and Manna Dey and two female singers-Ameerbai Karnataki and Shamshad Begam were used in the songs.
(2) All the songs are solo songs.
(3) The movie made its debut in 2011. After a lull of nearly two years, five songs were covered in 2013. One song each got covered in 2014 and 2017 respectively.
(4) The last three songs have been covered in 2023.
(5) In 2013, there was a gap of 33 days between song number 2 (posted on 22 march 2013) and song number three (posted on 25 April 2013), but during these two dates 33 days apart, a whopping 241 songs got added in the blog at a rate of 7.3 songs daily !
(6) The breakup of songs are Shamshad Begam-5, Mukesh-3, Ameerbai Karnataki-1, C Ramchandra-1, Manna Dey-1)
The twelfth and final song of the movie too is a solo song. This song is sung by Shamshad Begam. That way, Shamshad Begam sang as many as seven solo songs in this movie.
Pt Narendra Sharma is the lyricist of this song. Music is composed by Anil Biswas.
Only audio of the song is available. Seeing that Shamshad Begam sang so may songs in the movie, she may have sung for the leading lady. So my guess is that this song was picturised on Sulochana Chatterjee. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of the song.
Lyrics of this song were sent to me by Prakashchandra.
With this song, all the songs of “Veena”(1948) are covered in the blog. The movie thus joins the list of movies that have been YIPPEED in the blog.
