उर्मिले त्रिवार वंदन तुला (Urmile trivaar vandan tulaa) is a Marathi non-film bhajan rendered by Ram Phatak which I used to listen on the radio in my younger days. The meaning of the first line is ‘hey Urmila, my thrice salute to you’. The salutation by the poet is because she was an unsung character in Ramayan. She was the wife of Lakshman and younger sister of Seeta. When Ram was exiled along with Seeta for 14 years, Lakshaman decided to accompany Ram and Seeta to protect them during the exile. Urmila also wanted to join Lakshman. But she was asked by Lakshman to stay back and take care of his aged parents in Ayodhya during their absence. During those 14 years, Urmila is said to have slept continuously so that Lakshman can remain awake to protect Ram and Seeta.
I had forgotten about this Marathi song for a long time. While I was researching on Khayyam for writing a tributary article on the occasion of his 6thth Remembrance Day on August 19, 2025, I realised that his wife, Jagjit Kaur was the ‘Urmila’ in his life who sacrificed her aristocratic life to marry a struggling music director. While the selflessness of Urmila cannot be strictly comparable as Jagjit Kaur and her husband Khayyam spent their life together. But, apart from her aristocratic comfort, she sacrificed her playback singing career after her marriage with Khayyam sometime in 1954 in her own volition as she had said in her interviews. She did not seek playback singing assignments either from her husband or from others. Instead, she decided to assist her husband in whatever manner – either professionally or on the domestic front. She had said in an interview as late as 2019 that she recorded the song under Khayyam only because the scheduled playback singers did not turn up for recording the songs or the producers/directors of the films suggested her name for the songs.

# Singer Yesudas’s Birth Anniversary #
————————————————————
Today 10th January 2025 is the eighty-fifth birthday of Singer Yesudas (born on 10.01.1940). We will celebrate his occasion by covering a few songs sung by him. I have already presented one song from the 1980 movie ‘Maan Abhimaan’. In this post, I am presenting a song from the ‘1984’ movie ‘Ek Nayee Pahelee’. This is another song of Yesudas which I was longing to share here. All these years I had never watched this movie ‘Ek Nayee Pahelee’ and I watched it now on the new year day. However, I was aware of this song from this movie as it was played on radio for the promotion of this movie when it was being released in 1984.
This movie was passed by Censor Board on 27.02.1984. So, it must be around the summer of ‘1984’ when it was released in theatres around the place I was staying then. Because I have these memories of listening this song on radio of that summer season while sleeping out in the courtyard.

Hullo atuldom
Wishing the Dream Girl of the 1970s, 1980s,1990s a very happy birthday. She is still so dainty, graceful & I shall not use the cliché word “Beautiful”- there is no debate about that.

We all have heard of World Happiness Index. We have heard about it because this index gives India a very low rating. People in India who believe in this rating ironically do not believe in ratings that show India in good light. On the other hand, there are people who wonder how India can be ranked so low when we see countries that appear in far more distress than India ranked higher than India.
