Among the film producers and directors of early days of talky films, Kidar Sharma was one among a few producer-directors who evoked my interest in knowing him. My information about him was limited to what I had known from print media and interviews on Doordarshan in 70s and 80s. He was known for introducing new faces like Raj Kapoor, Madhubala, Geeta Bali in the Hindi film industry who subsequently attained the star status. He also introduced Snehal Bhatkar and Roshan as music directors. Kidar Sharma was a multifaceted personality – painter, photographer, story/screen play/dialogue writer, poet, lyricist, actor, director and producer as I came to know much later when I read his autobiography ‘ The One and Lonely Kidar Sharma’ (2002).

This day, the Paush Shukal Saptami (the seventh day of the waxing moon cycle of the month of Paush), is a very special day. Today we celebrate the anniversary of birth, of one of the most illustrious and influential persona in the history of our nation. A great teacher who was a poet, a philosopher, an ascetic and yes, a fearless warrior. He taught universal love and brotherhood, inspired his followers to treat their fellow beings at a humanistic level, without differentiating based on caste, creed or beliefs. A rarest of the rare human beings who walked this earth, he lived in this physical world just for 42 years, but his accomplishments and his lasting inspiration for the human race defy the endeavors of many a life time of ordinary mortals.
