During 1930s and 1940s, when India was a desperately poor country, literacy level was very low. Even males were largely unlettered. The less said about the literacy of women, the better. So under those circumstances, an educated woman, who was also a workng woman, was a source of great curiousity among common folk. One can imagine how it must be like in 1940s. Basic literacy is one thing. To become educated in the medical field was obviously way tougher.

I make it a point to wake up at around 4 AM every morning. I do that without fail. The idea is to take my two dogs on their morning walks, one dog at a time. The first dog (Junior Dog Izza) goes first. Her walk starts at around 4:30 and she is back by around 4:50. Then Bhole (the senior dog) goes on walk. His walk typically ends at 5:10 AM. That is the time when the sky begins to get brighter. It is then that “morning walkers” start coming out on roads for their morning walk. To my mind, the best time for morning walk is between 4:30 to 5 AM or so. That is the window of opportunity for a meaningful morning walk. At that time, it is actually morning (viz it is still pre dawn), very few people are out at that time, and one has true privacy, so to say.

Mukesh and his Composers – 24

LTNS is an unofficial Internet expression in vogue so much so that there is a wiki page too on it.
Well, its “Long Time No See” as far as my posts on the blog are concerned.
My honest excuses are detailed below.

Apart from the work routine, it was some sort of dejection that kept me away from writing. Dejection of meeting almost dead ends as far as search for rare Mukesh songs are concerned. It was my want of concentrating my efforts to try and trace rare songs that kept me away from adding new posts.

Regulars on the blog are aware that, besides being music-lovers and Hindi movie buff, many of the blog members also love ‘cricket’ and ‘rail/train’, or if I am not wrong especially the Indian Railways.

Travelling by train is something which is always interesting. Most of us enjoy and love it. It brings back many memories from our childhood days too.
