Hullo Atuldom

July 29th was the 22nd death anniversary (already that many years!!) of the actor Johnny Walker who was much adored as a comedian. The characters that he typically played were of “Drunkards” & he excelled at them, inspite of not touching a drop of alcohol throughout his life.

He was born Badruddin Jamaluddin Kazi in Indore, in present-day Madhya Pradesh. He was part of a family, that had 12 children, which moved to Bombay (of those times) when his father lost his job. He got a job as a bus-conductor in Bombay Electric Supply & Transport (BEST- Bombay’s bus service). He was spotted by actor Balraj Sahni entertaining his passengers with his comical way of calling out bus stops and his hilarious impressions and antics. Balraj Sahni introduced this fan of Noor Mohammed Charlie to Guru Dutt. Balraj Sahni told Kazi to demonstrate his drunkard act to Guru Dutt. From that meeting, he gained a role in ‘Baazi’ (1951).

Today (11 August 2022) is Rakshabandhan. This is the 15th Rakshabandhan for this blog. The first Rakshabandhan for the blog fell on 16 August 2008. That day saw the iconic Rakshabandhan song namely Bhaiyya mere raakhi ke bandhan ko nibhaana (Chhoti Bahan)(1959) getting covered on the blog.

On those early days, only one song was discussed in a day. Subsequently multiple songs began to be covered daily. Festival days were no exception. So more than one Rakshabandhan songs were also discussed in the subsequent occasions.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2010-2020) – Song No. 94
———————————————————————————–

November 2010, much like november 2020, saw songs being covered in the blog at a relatively slow rate. On this day ten years ago, five songs were covered in the blog:-

Song Movie title-Year Remarks
Gayaa andheraa huaa ujaaraa Subah Ka Taaraa-1954 05 of 08 songs posted
Sapnon mein aana chhed chhed jaanaa Sheesham-1952 07 of 10 songs posted
Muhabbat ke jhoothhe sahaaron ne loota Sanskaar-1952 05 of 07 songs posted
Ye maanaa dil jise dhoondhe Zimbo-1958 All songs covered
Tirchhi nazar ka piyaa waar hai Madaari-1959 All songs covered

Two out of five of these movies have since been YIPPEED in the blog. So potentially songs of three movies are eligible to be discussed in the blog ten year challenge today.

Blog 10-Year Challenge (2010-2020) – Song No. 78
———————————————————————————–

This day ten years ago viz 13 september 2010 saw six songs getting covered. The fist post appeared at 6:06 AM whereas the sixth and final post of the day appeared at 17:37 AM. Six songs posted within 91 minutes. That is called making short work of the daily blog target ! 🙂

Here are the details of the six songs discussed on 9 september 2010:-

Blog Post number Song Movie Year of release Remarks
2957 Man letaa hai angdaayi Anmol Ghadi 1946 YIPPEED
2958 Haay re insaan ki majbooriyaan Ghoonghat 1960 7 songs covered out of 10
2959 Jhanan jhanjhanaa ke apni paayal Aashiq 1962 YIPPEED
2960 Chale jaanaa zaraa thahro Multiple version song Around the world 1967 YIPPEED
2961 Ba hosho hawaas mein deewaanaa Night in London 1967 YIPPEED
2962 One two three baby yaa yaa yaa Kismat 1968 YIPPEED

As can be seen from the above table, five movies out of six whose songs were covered ten years ago have since been YIPPEED. “Anmol Ghadi”(1946) and “Kismat”(1968) got YIPPEED ten years back on this day viz on 13 september 2010 !
