Some newspapers tend to have columns called “This day that year” or similar. In that column, they discuss the important events that happened on that day in the past.
Today is 29th of december 2011. If I am asked to describe what I did in the past years on this day then I will draw a blank for most of the years, including years as recent as one or two years back. But ironically there is one year on this date that is as fresh in my mind as if it happened just yesterday. In reality, it happened exactly 40 years back. Yes, I remember the day of 29th december 1971 very well. It was a day that did not begin all that well but became memorable as the day wore on.

Rajesh Khanna had become an overnight sensation in late 1960s and early 1970s.The kind of adulation that he enjoyed in his heydays was something indescribable and that could only be known to those who lived in that era. I was fortnate to have lived in that era and seen it first hand.

“Nawaab Sahib” (1978) is an obscure movie, despite being a movie of recent vintage by the standards of this movie. This movie was clearly a B grade movie and it had small time non selling actors in it.

“Aarambh” (1976) is a recent movie by the standards of this movie which swas released at a time when I was at my precocious best as a follower of Hindi movies, but even I failed to notice anything about this movie at that time. So this movie must have been a big failure at the box office. This movie had a “star” cast of names like Rakesh pandey, Rama Vij, Kishore Kapoor, Vipin Gupta. These names did not ring any bells those days nor do they ring any bells today. In other words, movie with “star” cast was doomed to fail.
