We are at 12090 songs at the time of writing this. We have covered 3403 movies in the nearly eight years of this blog’s existence. 781 movies have all their songs covered. So when I was looking for a song featuring an old time music director/ singer on the occasion of his birthday today I was in for a surprise. Today (16 june 2016) is Hemant Kumar’s 96th birth anniversary.

Readers from Gujarat must have heard the name of Shri Rajanikumar Pandya ji, a famous writer and winner of five awards from Sahitya Academy of Gujarat. One of the several books he has written on film people is “Aap ki Parchhaainyaan “.( He had gifted me this book). This book contains information derived from his personal interactions with several film greats like Nargis, Talat, Shamshad, Mubarak Begum, Jaikishen, Mukesh, Rafi, Composers Kalyan ji – Anand ji, Naushad, Anil Biswas, Hemant Kumar, Kavi Pradeep and a few more. In this book he has devoted 30 pages for his personal experiences with Jagmohan Sursagar ( Jaganmoy Mitra ). This is about the period close to two years when Jagmohan first stayed in his house and later elsewhere in Ahmmedabad. Jagmohan had already retired by that time and he was a devastated person due to the demise of his mother and wife in a span of a few months.

There have been three movies titled “Sanskaar”, which were released in 1940, 1952 and 1958. The songs of these three movies are difficult to come by. Conventional wisdom suggests that songs of recent movies should be more easily available but the case is just the reverse here. Songs of “Sanskaar”(1940) and “Sanskaar”(1952) are more easily available than that of “Sanskaar”(1958). 🙂

Today, the 9th of June, happens to be the birthday of our beloved Arunkumar Deshmukhji. I realized this only a couple of hours ago, otherwise I would have prepared a post for him beforehand.

But better late than never – and it is still his birthday – so if Atul can post this in time, we are not late for the event. 🙂 Am used to doing things last-minute anyway – much to the frustration and annoyance of many who need to face the consequences of my delayed actions. 🙂

Hullo to everyone in Atuldom

Its been long since I had any idea that inspired me to write. But 9th June is one date which I just cannot let go without writing something about.

Before I give the importance of this date here are some stray thoughts that came to me. I am sure all of us have many friends as we journey through life. I am also certain that they will be in categories like building (Housing society) friends (meaning friends who lived with us in the apartment we grew up in), school friends (this will cover all the friends we had in school be they junior or senior to us), class friends or classmates as we choose to call them. Then further in life we have college friends and office friends. Now for people in Mumbai there would be an additional set of friends –train friends and I have personally witnessed the kind of masti (fun) these people have to and from their work place. I have seen that in the general compartment the groups of friends will play cards or have bhajans etc. They also celebrate peoples’ birthdays and other happy occasions in the journey that can be anywhere between 45 minutes to one and half hour depending on where the last person gets off.

People who are experienced Hindi movie watchers will know that songs and dance play the same role in these movies as the term “black hole” plays in Astronomy. Wherever in doubt, introduce a song and dance (or a black hole) as the case may be and your target audience is satisfied. 🙂
