“Hanste Aansoo” (1950) was one of the first Hindi movies to get an Adult certificate from the censors. The reasons for getting A certificate those days used to be quite flimsy. For instance, “Barsaat” (1949) had become the first Hindi movie to get an A certificate. The reason why censors were provoked thus was that the female actors in the movies, viz Nargis, Nimmi etc are shown without dupattas and in one song there is even the talk of dupatta flying away in the breeze, viz. Hawa me udta jaaye mora laal dupatta malmal ka. 🙂 And the censors were righteously indignant about all this. 🙂

The last time I heard radio on a regular basis was in early 1980s, viz more than three decades ago. I continued to listen to radio for some more time during 1980s but only sporadically and things were never really the same again as far as radio listening was concerned.

Navin Nischol, an unlikely hero, who seems to be gone too soon. A gold medalist from the Pune Film and Television Institure, he made his debut with the film ‘Saawan Bhaadon’ in 1970. He rode the popularity wave for less than a decade and soon transitioned over to character roles. He continued to be active both on the big screen and small screen. But seeing him always gave a feeling that he went past his prime too quickly – the best was still out there.

For the past few days, I have been going through the poems of Amir Khusrau. Fortunately, most of his poems are available on the internet with English translation. His love poems, riddles, dohas (couplets in Hindwi), qawwalis etc are very absorbing. I feel, it will not be an exaggeration to say that the trigger for the first literary renaissance especially in northern India was witnessed during the time of Amir Khusrau. He was one among the first in elite class to propagate the use of an Indian vernacular language in his poems which he called Hindawi ( mix of Hindi and its subsidiary dialects).
