MAHASHIVRATRI greetings to all readers !

In India all our social customs, traditions, calenders and Festivals are linked to Agriculture, because basically,even today, we are an Agricultural country. With almost over 70% population (as against 85% in 1947) living in Villages and depending on farming, even in these days. No wonder if all our major events have an Agricultural base.

In my life so far, I have yet to see a person who is a 100% Atheist. Many people claim that they do not believe in God, but when in difficulty, they pray to God only.

In the last few months, I must have listened to a large number of non-filmy songs (NFSs) on the internet especially those recorded in the 40s to 60s. While I was familiar with some of them from my younger days, others have been new to me. I enjoyed listening to most of the NFSs and I have shared on this blog a few of them. I am sure that If these NFSs were exposed to the listeners in a same way as Hindi films songs then they would have become equally popular. However, Majority of listeners of Hindi songs are the fan of film songs and there is no way NFSs could compete with Hindi films songs in the popularity chart. Of course there are exceptions to the rule.

The year is 1948, and the film name – ‘Mala, The Mighty’. The name sounds like a Nadia film. Well, almost. It is a Basant Pictures production directed by John Cowas, but the leading lady is Leela and not Nadia.

Sometimes we meet someone, and are so impressed by the personality and the interaction, that we remember that person lifelong. And sometimes fortune plays such games, that we meet someone we think is so wonderfully special, but then life never does bring the same person near us again. Maybe decades will pass, and we occasionally will think of that person, and remember the feeling of goodness we had. But sometimes life is kind, and allows us to meet some such person whom we met long, long ago, and always remembered with fondness.

My curiosity in the Keshav Talpade directed Tigress (1948) was piqued when Mr. Sudhir Kapur posted the patriotic number Hum iss zameen ke hain from this film on the occasion of India’s Republic Day a couple of days ago.
