Aha, the 7700th. Congratulations and celebrations. 🙂 🙂
Welcome all to yet another century milestone on this blog. Habit forming, and on the dot, never missing a beat. The regularity is so predictable, that we can set our calendars accordingly. A hundred new songs on the blog – ah yes, about 18 days must have passed. Kudos to Atul ji for managing and controlling the pace of new songs, no matter what.

The autobiography of C Ramchandra( Majhya Jeevana chi Sargam-copyright by Yeshwant Ramchandra Chitalkar) is somewhat disappointing. Its major part is spent on describing various exploits of C Ramchnadra with different women. Normally one expectes that the writer would focus on his worldly achievements and creations, which gave him name and fame, but on this count this book is a failure. Not that it is totally bereft of such things, but considering his musical successes during the Golden Era, one feels deprived of more discussions on music related topics.

Shirish Kanekar is my favourite author in Marathi. He started his career as a journalist in Indian Express and later worked for many publications. He writes on Cricket and Old films-actors and music. He knows many cricketers as well as many yeateryear actors, composers and has interviewed them. He has written 20-25 books so far and also done several Stand up shows on cricket and Films in many countries.

C Ramchandra can be easily called the King of Anokhe Bol songs, though he is not who started it.
The first song having Anokhe Bol or meaningless words was composed by the Grand old music Director Madhulal Damodar Master in film ” Hatimtai I “-1933 and the Lyricist was G.R.Sethi who was the film’s director also. The song was ‘ Donga donga dum dum daka adam boka masnam maka’.

While surfing on the internet last night, I came across a reference to the book ‘The Tenth Rasa : An Anthology of Indian Nonsense’ (2007). The title of the book evoked interest in me but there was no way to know in what context the word ‘nonsense’ was used. I could not locate an E-version or abridged version of this book on the internet but found a review of this book. The book is all about Indian nonsensel literature – prose, poetry, jingles which has a rich history in oral and folk forms. Most of them have been passed on to the next generation by words of mouth. It is a nonsense literature from the point of view of laureates belonging to the elite society for whom the literature has to be meaningful. In that way, the term ‘nonsense’ seems to have been used for meaningless literature. According to the authors of this book, nonsense literature is the base for sensible literature as the former is intuitive and flows quite naturally like the relationship between mother and child.
