Though Mumbai gangout happened nearly a month ago (on 21 december 2014), details about it are slow in coming. I wrote about my preparations to join this meet in this article on 3 january 2015. Then nothing happened for several days. I was pleasantly surprised to see an entertaining writeup from Sudhir ji on 13 january 2015 in which he describes his experiences from the planning stage till his arrival at the venue on the D day.
The above wonderful writeup has now inspired me to write the second part of my own take on this meet. So here is goes.

An icon that stands the tallest on the horizon of the Hindi film landscape. And a persona whose influence spans more than six decades of the history of this medium – a medium that itself is just over eight decades young now.
Dharam Devdutt Pishorimal Anand – born this day in Shakargarh, district Gurdaspur. The year – is irrelevant. With a persona like Dev Sb, the length of years behind was as meaningless as the number of years ahead of him were meaningful. The zest for life and the energy to be – the age and years did not matter. The only thing that mattered was the young-ness of the mind that simply refused to be afraid of the towering Time that overcomes all. Not that he professed any eternal life. And neither did he survive the scythe of reaper of time. But the time and the years that he lived and breathed, there was always another horizon to reach, always another mountain to scale. And the mantra for life simply was – young-ness of the mind.

Once again, apologies for another gap in communications from my side. On the previous Sunday, i.e. 6th May, Nalin ji presented his program ‘Yaadon Ka Safar’ here in Delhi. The program lasted for about four and half hours, with a break in between. The evening was a very nostalgic and emotional journey through the earlier decades of Hindi film and film music, and with the amount of details and anecdotes that Nalin ji carries in his memory, the program was also very informative.

I have discussed songs from “Ham Bhi Insaan Hain”(1959) in this blog. It turns out that there was another movie of the same title which was produced in 1948. This movie was produced by Ghanshamdas and directed by Phani Majumdar. This movie had Dev Anand, Ramola, Anand Pal, Ganshamdas, Jerman, Vinodini etc in it.

“Ham Bhi Insaan Hain” (1959) is an obscure movie by now. This movie was produced by V A K Productions. R Majumdar was the director. The sar cast included names like Abhi Bhattacharya, Lata Sinha, Anil Kumar, Kumar, Dhumal,Chaman Puri, Samar Roy, Lalita Kumari etc. Most names in the cast ring no bells. In other words, this movie was a B grade movie.

If regulars of this blog are wondering at the reasons behind the reduced output of this blog in the previous days, including no song yesterday, the reason is, I am at a place now where access to internet, especially of the required speed is at a premium. This is in addition to the fact that I am not in a position to get adequate access to internet either. Hopefully things will begin to look up in coming days.
