So here goes:
18 august 2010: I will not be available to post new songs tomorrow i.e. 19 aug 2010. On 20 aug 2010, I will post less number of songs than my usual 6-7 songs. From 21 aug 2010, I hope to be able to resume my usual rate of posting. In brief, I will be busy for the next two days.
23 sep 2010: I may not be able to post on this day, though I will try to post at least a token one or two songs.
26 oct 2010: I will be unable to post any songs today. I will be back on action from the next day.
22 Nov 2010: I will be unable to come anwhere near internet on this day. I will be back from the next day onwards.
27 Nov to 29 Nov 2010 Though I am within striking range of internet, but I will not be able to post songs during these days. I will be back with a vengeance on 30 November.
Dec 1,2010I will not be able to post on dec 1, 2010. From dec 2 onwards, I will be back to my usual routine.
Jan 15,2011 I have not been able to post songs at my desired rate for the last few weeks, but be rest assured that I will be back with a vengeance, perhaps in a couple of days time.
March 12,2011I may not be able to find time to post songs today.Reason- there is a cricket world cup match involving India today in my town as all cricket lovers are aware. 🙂
Nov 1, 2011I have been out of action for a couple of days. I hope to be back in action, starting from 3rd of november.
Feb 12,2011I will be travelling by train for much of the day, so my postings will be subject to availability of internet connectivity. But seeing that I will be travelling to the western parts of the country, I hope to get good internet connectivity duing my journey and also at the destination, where I will spend the next one week.

Ah yes,
And to imagine that he came to Delhi with such a short and tight schedule that we were not able to meet. Atul ji finished his meetings around 4 pm yesterday, and then informed me that his train departs at 5.30. I tried to rush to the station, but was caught up in a traffic blockade on account of VIP movement in Central Delhi area, and could not make it on time.
Sad to have missed this opportunity.
But look forward to your next visit. 🙂

Thank you very much for providing a quick response to my comment of March 12, 2014 on the song from Lagan (1955).
You indicated that “Hook uthhi” means “Aawaaz Aayi” and these words are correct in the lyrics of “Bahaaye chaand ne aansoo” and I accept your judgement for the time being. However, the same words appear in your lyrics of “Lapak Jhapak tu aa re badarwa” in Boot Polish as follows
ban mein koyal kook uthi hai
sab ke man mein hook uthi hai
I am quite positive that the lyrics should be
बनमे कोयल कूक रही है
सबके मनमे भूक उठी है
Your comments will be appreciated.

Shyam ji,
The Hindi word is ‘hook’ – “हूक”।
This means a sound, almost akin to a groan of pain; also the sound made by a specific bird – I am not able to name it. In Urdu poetry, this word is used for a sigh of longing, desire.
There is a well known she’r that goes like.
इक हूक सी दिल में उठती है, इक दर्द जिगर में होता है
मैं चुपके चुपके रोता हूँ जब सारा आलम सोता है

There is the famous Noor Jehan song from the 1952 Pakistani film Dopatta, which starts ‘Ik tees jigar mein uthti hai, Ik dard so dil mein hota hai; hum raat ko uthkar roten hain, jab sara alam sota hai’ and the main song starts: chandni raaten, hoo chandni raatein, sab jag soye hum jaagen, taaron se karen batein hooo, chandni raatein’. BTW how do I access the listing of all chandni raat songs?
