This morning’s ‘Rangoli’, on the national channel, was a tribute to one of the greatest lyricists of the Hindi movie world viz. Sahir Ludhianvi. The programme had given a fairly detailed account of the poet’s life and also had covered a few of his memorable numbers. The three that I liked of the lot were as follows:-
(a) “Aage bhi jaane na tu, peeche bhi jaane na tu” - Waqt.
(b) “Jaane bhi kaise, log the jinko pyar hi pyar mila” - Sahib, Biwi aur Gulaam.
(c) “Aaja aajaa re, tum ko mera pyar pukare” - Gumraah.
All are haunting melodies and my favourites. A lovely way to start a day indeed! Thanks Doordarshan for making my day!
The verdict on Ayodhya.
The way the media has been going on and on about 24 Sep being the day when the Ayodhya verdict is going to be delivered, there’s a sudden curiosity that has been roused amongst the common man which is sadly, coupled with a sense of apprehension. It’s my fond hope that the verdict would be a step to durable peace to a vexed issue and all concerned quarters would strive to achieve an amicable settlement.
An active media is indeed necessary to ensure that wrongdoings are kept down to a minimum if not their total absence. But it has its pitfalls too. To cite this particular case, most of the Indians would have now come to understand the anatomy of the Ayodhya default and therefore, hope for an early and peaceful resolution. However, the rabble rousers and the cynics could use the coverage to their advantage, if not checked well in time. And therein lies the dichotomy!
A golden day for Indian sport.
Mary Kom, has done the country proud by winning the gold medal in the World Boxing Championship. And our Davis Cup team has rallied from behind to snatch a 3-2 victory from Brazil, at Madras. I must confess that I’d almost given up hope of winning the reverse singles. Sorry boys for losing faith in you, albeit for a short time. What a wonderful Sunday it was for Indian sport!!
