Hullo to all in Atuldom
Today’s post is under instructions from my husband- Peevesie’s Dad. Oh yes, he is a silent-satulite (a term coined by team Atulites when referring to spouses of Atulites, the term has no geographical or scientific connotation and will be found only in Atulite-lingo 🙂 ). He had asked me to write a post after we returned from a pilgrimage of Sabarimala, which is the abode of Swami Ayyappa. And as far as possible I fulfil every farmaish/ request of his (actually the children, Peevesie more than her brother, rag the two of us for going out of our way to fulfil each other’s requests- there have been no demands between the two of us only requests).
A recent program that I attended at Chowdiah Memorial with Asha Bhonsle as the attraction is a case in point – we were scheduled to go to Kerala on that date to drop my dear mom-in-law at our native village and my husband (sweetly) asked me to go ahead and book tickets for the show and he himself went with his mom. So, when he indulges me how can I not do what he says? 🙂 These last two months I had been looking for a song that would accompany the post but never found any song or bhajan dedicated to Ayyappa in a Hindi song album- filmy or non-filmy. Even looking up dubbed movies drew a blank. Whatever the internet had to offer were songs in the south Indian languages. But now I think I have found a way out.
The pilgrimage to Sabarimala is neither easy nor tough; what it needs is commitment on the part of the devotee. It can be undertaken by all men and females below the age of 10 and above the age of 50. There are a few legends to explain why this restriction is in place for the ladies. But the main reason, for ladies of age group 10-50 not being allowed is biological and instead of arguing against it; which some sections of the equality for females brigade has undertaken, my personal view is we should respect it. If some rule has been in place for an activity we follow it. If there is a dress code to a party we adhere to it. I have seen people follow the rule of covering their heads at gurudwaras and mosques (am not sure if churches have this rule, but have seen some sections of Kerala Christians cover their heads). If rules can be followed at these places then why not at Hindu places of worship. (I hope that my thoughts are not construed to be against equality for the female gender, they are just my way of looking at things)
The Sabarimala temple is open for a few days (of the Malayalam calendar) every month and from November 15th to January 20th (I think). Devotees who plan to undertake the trip normally live a satvik life for a period of 40 days. They abstain from wine and women, the stricter followers make their own food, visit an Ayyappa temple twice a day, walk bare foot and also don’t shave. Then just before leaving for the trip they have a ritual wherein they gather the main things needed for the pilgrimage in a bag which is carried on their heads till they reach the temple. The bag typically contains two or three coconuts, one of which is filled with ghee for the abhishek of the deity. Plus, pooja items like camphor, agarbatti, pan-supari, beaten rice etc.
The temple itself is in the Periyar Tiger Reserve of western ghats in Kerala’s Pathanamthitta District. One can go up to the Pampa river (which is at the base of the path leading up to the temple) by road, from where it is a climb of about 5 kms of which the initial 2 km or so is very steep. Of course, there are a few palkhis available to carry up those who find the climb difficult. But when one sees the passion in those climbing alongside us it spurs us to try and do the distance without palki assistance. That is what happened with me. I felt a sense of tiredness after the initial half an hour; then I saw who were the people around me. There was a small boy taking his almost 80-year-old grandparents with him. Then there was a man with a twisted ankle making his way uphill and that made me feel I should complete the route. And there is the chant of Swamiye Sharanam Ayyappa (we take refuge in you ayyappa) reverberating about the route, enough to egg you on. A seasoned devotee (like my husband who has gone close to 25 times) may do the path in about two or two and half hours depending on the weather; and I took about two hours and forty minutes in spite of the initial panting and nausea due to the height. But I must admit that then it had felt like a never-ending walk.
Now any person undertaking the pilgrimage for the first time is called a “Kanni Ayyappan” and our group had two of us. And then last month around Onam time when the temple was open my sister’s family- her husband and two nine-year-old sons- also went to the temple. The twins were the life of the group along with a few other kids. About 10-15 years back my aged parents-in-law and parents had undertaken the trip. So, what I am trying to say is age and health should not stop a determined soul from making the trip and there are experienced Ayyappas (that is the term with which the male devotees address each other) to guide those who want to make the trip and believe me it was a great experience enough to make me feel I should redo it.
Reading the above description may have sent images of the trek to Kedarnath, Yamunotri or Vaishno Devi to the reader. Even I recalled my Kedarnath, Yamunotri trip as I was chanting Swamiye Sharanam Ayyappa and singing all the Ayyappa songs I knew to myself during the walk. And in my mind, I visualised my dearest mom-in-law undertaking the Vaishno Devi pilgrimage about 10 years back. Hats off to her spirit! I hope I am half as energetic when I reach her age.
Now that I have mentioned vaishno devi I looked for a song that will show the journey to the temple in the Himalayas in Kashmir. And I found that there is a song in the 1980 released J. Om Prakash movie which shows Rameshwari and Jeetendra going to Vaishno Devi as “Mannat” fulfilment of his mother Sulochana. (wonder why she didn’t accompany them 🙂 ) it shows them trudging up to the temple along with other devotees much like what I experienced. But the difference is the distance which my mom-in-law says is close to 14 kms. The song is from the pen of Anand Bakshi and Laxmi- Pyare are the music directors. Narendra Chanchal and Mohd. Rafi are the playback.
I think this is a good song to start Navaratri with. Bolo Jai Mata Ki!
Editor’ note:- This is the sixth and final song from “Asha”(1980) to appear in the blog. with this song, “Asha”(1980) joins the list of movies that have all their songs covered in the blog.

Hullo Atulwaasis
Today’s(3 september 2017) post is inspired by this post of Atulji. To be more exact I have been saving up this post ever since this was posted and this was mentioned in the comments by Bharatji and Maheshji.
I was saving this song to present it on the occasion of the birthdate of two people involved in this song.
(1) The music director Shri Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma son of a renowned trumpeter Ramprasad Sharma also known as Babaji. I am sure regular visitors of this blog will know that I am talking of Pyarelal of the Laxmikant- Pyarelal duo. Today(3 september 2017) is his 78th birthday. Happy Birthday Pyarelalji and thank you for making our life musical.
(2) The multi-talented actor who started his career doing villainy and went on to excel even in comedy and also the lovable uncle and best friend in a lot of movies has his birthday today. I am talking of our pyaara “Nandu, sabka Bandhu” alias Sunil Sikanderlal Kapoor who was given his screen name by Sunil Dutt that his name will not do justice to his villainous stint in movies and so Shakti Kapoor was born.
Today’s song is from the 1989 Prakash Jha directed “Chaalbaaz”. It starred Sridevi in a double role with Rajnikant and Sunny Deol, with Anupam Kher, Rohini Hattangadi and Shakti Kapoor heading the villain gang and Annu Kapoor and Aruna Irani being nice to the separated at birth twin sisters- Anju and Manju. It is sung by Jolly Mukherjee Amit Kumar and Kavitha Krishnamurthy with Anand Bakshi as the lyricist.
Let us enjoy this fun song where suddenly in the middle the playback singers get interchanged between the artists so much so that we find even Rohini lip syncing to Jolly Mukherjee.

In India, we are often required to attend get togethers (formal/ officials as well as informal/ unofficial etc). Singing of a few film songs is almost always a part of these gatherings, which are sung by enthusiastic singers and their performances are followed by polite clappings.
The songs that are sung on these gatherings are mostly from the golden era originally sung by legends. I often think of that era when these legends were still around me. I would often imagine a gathering where songs were sung not by the enthusiastic singers but by the singers who originally sang these songs. Just imagine participating in a programme where Rafi songs are being sung live by none other than Rafi himself !

Hullo atuldom
Hope all fine here.
Today (8 june 2017) I am posting a song which falls right in the category of “How come this is not yet posted?!?!” But that is how this blog of ours (Atul’s) is. Even after 13300 songs we still have songs for the “How come” category.

Yesterday (27 april 2017), sometime around noon, I got to hear the very sad news that Vinod Khanna had passed away.
I had logged onto Twitter for a bit – and immediately saw a tweet saying “One of the most handsome actors of Hindi movies. RIP”. My heart sank. Soon it was clear that the person being discussed, and now trending as a hashtag, was our own beloved Vinod Khanna.
Recently a picture of Vinod Khanna had been circulating on social media. It shocked many (including myself) as it showed him in a very frail condition. I, for one, was not even aware that he was ailing. But nowadays, with advances in medical science, you tend to expect recovery, especially for someone barely 70.
It was not to be.
The end was therefore unexpected for me – and I think, for many.

“Majboor” (1974) was the first movie with this title that I became aware of. Later I came to know that movies wit the same title were released in 1948 and 1964 as well.
