But of course, there are a few passages and images that simply stuck to my mind. Randomly they would pass through the mind’s screen. This would continue for many, many years till the time I revisited the film, and then sat through it for a complete view. This was after I had read a lot about this film, its background, its actors, and its impact on the public mind during those troubled war years of 1960s and early 1970.

When I wake up early in the morning and switch on the computer, the first page that I normally see is the google screen. On most of the days, it is the normal google screen, but on special occasions, we have some google doodles on them as well. I was pleasantly surprised today (29 april 2014) to find a google doodle on an Indian person and that too on an Indian person connected with music.

There are some songs which I found on youtube and saved for future posts. My Draft boxes are full of them. I was just going through the draft boxes, to sent such lyrics to Atul ji, where inevitably some songs are so touching and truthful, that I decided to write the post myself.

My timing is somewhat off-key these days. So much else is dragging my attention that I am missing to hit the dates, even though I have planned it in advance. With due apologies to Atul ji. 🙂 He is aware of at least two missed dates in this year, where the write ups are almost done, but could not be completed in time.
