Thaanedaar, viz inchange of the police station (Thaanaa) is a very important person as far as public are concerned. The original term for Thaanedaar, that old generation grew up with, is “Daarogaa”. “Darogaa” was much feared ( and therefore respected) by aam jantaa. Just as members of more educated sections of society aspired to become ICS (and later IAS) officers, members of lower rung of society aspired to become Policeman and from there to Hawaldaar and then rise up to the exalted post of “daarogaa”. Other posts that carried similar awe and shock among public was “Kotwaal”. There is in fact a saying in Hindi “Sainyya bhaye kotwaal to ab dar kaahe kaa” (My beloved has become kotwaal, so now I have noting to fear).

“Jeewan Jyoti” (1953) is a movie that had Shammi Kapoor, Chand Usmani, Shashikala etc in it. Personally I am not much aware of this movie. In fact, I am not much aware of its songs too. Or so I thought. Just a few hours ago, I stumbled upon this song, which I had heard many a times without being aware of its details. This time I realised that this song was from “Jeewan Jyoti” (1953). In fact, I thought that this song, which is fairly well known, was already in this blog. But I was wrong in my assumption, of course.

“Pyaase Panchhi” (1960) is a rather B grade movie where Mehmood was the hero opposite Ameeta. Going by the fact that Mehmood subsequently made his mark not as a hero but as a comedian, it appears to me that this movie may not have done well at the box office.

My readers may have noticed that my posts for the last few days have dried up. It is because these days I find myself without internet connectivity because I find myself elsewhere for a few days. Hopefully I will be able to get back to my usual activity in three days time as I get back to my usual place of stay. Till then I will only be able to post sporadically.
