I had never heard of the film BIHARI (1948) until a few days back when I came across a song from the film rendered by Lata Mangeshkar. Not much information about the story/plot of the film is available on the websites except that it belonged to the social genre. The film was produced under the banner of Samaj Chitra and was directed by K D Ketkar and A R Zamindar. The cast included B. Nandrekar, Surekha, H Prakash, Nimbalkar, Faiyyaz Bai, Shabnam, Samson etc. The film had 10 songs written by 4 lyricists – Kashyap (5), Hakeem Ashraf (1), Kumar Sharma (1), Munshi Farog (2) and the remaining one song not being attributed to any lyricist. The music for the songs were composed by Naresh Bhatttacharya and Ramkrishna Shinde.

Shyamlal Babu Rai, who wrote endearing gems in the golden era of melody, such as “Bade Armaanon Se Rakha Hai Balam Teri Kasam”, and also popular hits for the new generation in the 1970s, such as “Aap Jaisa Koi Meri Zindagi Mein Aaye, To Baat Ban Jaaye”, had started his career back in the 1946 with two completely obscure and now unknown films – ‘Double Face’ and ‘Jungle Ki Pukaar’. Information about these films is not easily traceable, and neither have the songs of these films have surfaced so far.

Today (21 february 2015) is a day when I woke up rather early which is quite uncharacteristic for me. But then situation called for it. No, I was not keen to watch the world cup match between Pakistan and West Indies. Rather, I wanted to ensure that I did not miss the world cup match between BCCI ( team India for the gullible persons) and South Africa. People aware of the match schedule of the world cup would wonder what non sense I was talking about.

So what did you say was so special about 31st Jan? Well, to start with, the realization that, gosh, one full month has slipped by in what was just a few days ago, the New Year. The year that was new, is now one month old. And do you know how old is the blog today? OK, let me calculate. With the start date of 19th July, 2008, we are looking at – oh, 6 full years + 6 full months + 13 full days. A quick visit to the calculator tells us that this corresponds to 6.54 years. So there, our blog is 6.54 years old.

Though Mumbai gangout happened nearly a month ago (on 21 december 2014), details about it are slow in coming. I wrote about my preparations to join this meet in this article on 3 january 2015. Then nothing happened for several days. I was pleasantly surprised to see an entertaining writeup from Sudhir ji on 13 january 2015 in which he describes his experiences from the planning stage till his arrival at the venue on the D day.
The above wonderful writeup has now inspired me to write the second part of my own take on this meet. So here is goes.
