(Gulzar Saab’s 90th birthday 18th August’2024)

Today 18th August, 2024 is the ninety-first birthday of Poet, Lyricist, Writer, Director and Producer Gulzar Saab. On this occasion we wish him a very ‘happy birthday’ today and also wish him a healthy and peaceful life ahead.

Gulzar was born as Sampooran Singh Kalra on 18th August’1934 at Dina, District Jhelum, in Punjab which is now in Pakistan. Their family shifted to Delhi (Old Delhi) after partition. Gulzar Saab had come a long way since then as younger boy and as a growing youth who had been witnessed to the most ‘bloodied’ part of the history of India i.e. partition of the undivided India into two parts India and Pakistan.

The Ranchiwala Gaanewala (a name bestowed on our fearless leader by Sudhirji) had gone down memory lane with this post. He had spoken about his growing-up years in the railway quarters that was his home for 28 years. He had spoken about looking for friends and classmates with whom he had long-lost contact using the various social media options.

Today, as I sat to write this post, I revisited the 19th July, 2019 post. It reminded me of how I managed to locate a lot of my classmates of school in the last three years -thanks to WhatsApp & Facebook. (both of these social media forums have become essential devils).

Like they say in some sponsored programs, I shall also say:- today’s song has been selected with the help of my daughter who is known as Peevesie to the followers of the blog. (I always feel we should acknowledge all those who help us). She is the one who pointed out that the director of the film (Paheli 2005) from which today’s song is, was someone who tried his hand at films which didn’t have the regular run-of-the-mill stories.

The blog has songs from “Shri 420” (1955), “Shrimati 420” (1956) & “Ustaad 420” (1969) – from which “Shrimati 420” is one short from being YYIIPPEEEED. Hindi films have a few more ‘420’ (char sau bees). There is a “Khiladi 420” which came in 2000 & “Chachi 420” which released in 1997. These are the 420/s that I know of, there may be one or two more films with ‘420’ in their title.

Pray, what may be the most dear thing in this life?

Something that will never grow old, or stale. Something that will never be lost in life. Something that will only grow fonder with the passage of time. What is that thing?

Today, June 05, 2023, is the 50th anniversary of World Environment Day led by United Nations Environment Programme since 1973.

The main components of environment are atmosphere (air), lithosphere (rocks and soil), hydrosphere (water) and biosphere (living things). We have been told as to how the degradation of each of these components of environment have taken place during the last 5 decades. Some of the environmentalists have personally undertaken the studies of degradation over a period of time and their results are eye opener.
