In the past, I have discussed some of the practical challenges that I face while discussing songs in the blog on a regular basis. Some of the obvious challenges that one faces are official job, or personal works. For instance, if I am on journey or meetings or any other reasons that does not allow me to devote as much time on the blog then my output for those days become low. Likewise, when personal reasons beckon, then also I am unable to devote time to blogging. I have learnt to maintain my normal output on the face of usual official and/or personal commitments.

Kuchh aise bandhan hote hain

With the success of “Chor Machaaye Shor” (1974), Shashi Kapoor had become a much sought after actor.Shashi Kapoor decided to make hay while the sun shone and he signed up each and every offer that came his way. Shashi Kapoor signed up so many movies that he did not have dates to give for his various producers for shooting. Normally actors give “dates” in units of “shifts” for shooting, where one shift consists of six hours (I may be incorrect about the duration of a shift. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw more light on a “shift”). But Shashi Kapoor began to give time in hours for shooting, much to the chagrin of his producers, including Raj Kapoor, his own brother.

When Atul wrote to me in his usual polite way the other day that I must write a post on this song I was taken aback. I have been a (mostly silent) reader of his blog and I have even written a few pieces for it but none for a very long time. Perhaps he thought I might like to do this piece on Don’s “Khaike paan banaraswala” as most of my early pieces were on Amitabh Bachchan’s movies of that era as I am an unabashed AB fan. What he did not know when he wrote to me is that I had another “qualification” for doing this piece; I studied for five years in Banaras.

My pets seem to have become popular, guazing by the fact that regulars tell me about various dog songs that they come across.
