About a month back, I, my wife and four of my close relatives visited Leh-Ladakh on a two week’s trip. Rather than a relaxed holiday, the trip was an experience in itself. A flight from Delhi for Leh meant that there would be an altitude gain from 292 metres in Delhi to 3550 metres in Leh in about one hour time. It was the best option from the point of view of acclimatisation at a higher altitude. So we had to confine ourselves to our hotel rooms in Leh for 24 hours without doing much of an exertion as part of acclimatisation processes for getting used to the lesser oxygen at higher altitude. Furthermore, during our trip, we were to cross three very high altitude mountain passes – Khardung La, the world’s highest motorable road (5600 metre or 18380 feet above sea level) for visiting Nubra Valley, Chang La, the world’s third highest motorable road (5360 metres or 17585 feet) for visiting Pangong Lake and Fotu La ( 4100m or 13480 feet) for going to Kargil. Fortunately, we did not face much of a problem except some mild altitude sickness experienced by two of my relatives which got resolved quickly as we descended.

There are quite a few good to very good actors who were eclipsed when the Amitabh Bachchan wave hit Bollywood in the 70s. Some tried doing a few solo movies before doing multi star cast movies with AB as the main character. So much so that they didn’t mind being overshadowed by the Bachchan. Who can forget Amar Akbar Anthony (1977)? Manmohan Desai made a movie with the story being about 3 brothers. But people thought that Bachchan’s Anthony was the prominent character. And inspite of being a diehard Bachchan fan I love to see the scenes of AMAR in the movie. Specially the scene in the jail where he questions Robert’s men about who shot the police commissioner (played by Kamal Kapoor). There are other parts in the movie featuring Vinod Khanna (who played Amar) that stand out.

This movie is of interest to music lovers because it was the debut movie of Madan Mohan as a music director. It is interesting to observe the kind of music that Madan Mohan created in the movie.

Aah, five years. Five wonderful, glorious years. Five years of rediscovery, five years of getting to know, all so much that we didn’t know – the films, the songs, the people, the times, the circumstances. Five amazing years of finding long lost gems, songs we had heard decades ago on the radio – ah, the exhilaration of meeting someone, whom you never thought you would ever be able to meet again. Five fabulous years of meeting new sounds that one has never heard before. And wonder, where was I all these years, and where have all these wonderful songs been hiding.
