Since it was a wet Sunday, I could catch up on some reading and had also watched the television a bit more than usual. And ended up liking two programmes that had a lot to entertain.
(a) Director's Music.
The channel - Amrita TV(Malayalam)
Time - 2000 to 2100h.
The programme was a recall of Malayalam film music over the years and the episode was dedicated
to the brilliant 'P Bhaskaran Master' who'd excelled in every department of film making - be it lyrics
writing, music direction, script writing or making a film! The numbers chosen were apt with
knowledgeable people in the field giving technical details of the 'ragas', the orchestral
accompaniments and the connected anecdotes while producing the numbers as well as their
picturisation. A fine journey through those times!
My only crib is that the numbers weren't played completely but with the information packed in
each, it was just not possible.
(b) Comedy nights with Kapil.
The channel - Colors.
Time - 2130 to 2330h.
I watch this programme off and on but tonight's episode featuring Rekha was simply good. Her
conduct, the numbers that she sang and the way she was appreciative of the cast of the show
reiterated as to why Indians have placed her on the pedestal of an enduring, endearing diva!
I'd enjoyed every bit of the programme.
Tailpiece.
The fury of Hudhud on the coastal city of Visakhapatnam is a grim reminder of the havoc that nature can cause despite man's successful forays in the field of science and the best of technology in hand. It's gonna take a while to get back to normalcy. The all pervasive media has not been able to can the enormity of the devastation perhaps because of inaccessibility due to a widespread disruption in communications.
