Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Usha: Wud send you the song sometime if you want me to.<BR/><BR/>Ardra: Neighbours flocking into one's home to watch the Sunday movie/Chitrahaar -- that's another image still fresh in my mind. Thanks for reminding, and for writing in.<BR/><BR/>Visithra: Am so glad you understood the spirit of my post. Thanks :) I love Tamil songs -- many of Illayaraja and some of Rahman -- even though I barely understand the language. And Harris Jayaraj has proved that you don't need to know the language to enjoy music.<BR/><BR/>Deepa: Am suprised to hear Chitrahaar is still alive. It better be: for old time's sake. Thanks.<BR/><BR/>Anilshankar: Karz is an unforgettable part of the 80's! But I know what you mean. Thank you so much.<BR/><BR/>Anonymous: The radio programme with classical base was called Sangeet Sarita. I am saying 'was' because I do not know if it still comes on Vividh Bharati. Why don't we find out how many of those programmes are still aired these days?Bishwanath Ghoshhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09499834715638337891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-1137645626237746922006-01-19T10:10:00.000+05:302006-01-19T10:10:00.000+05:30Your obsession for music is certainly awesome, but...Your obsession for music is certainly awesome, but still better is your ability to connect to that bygone era. We all have been brought up on those simple pleasures of life, where watching/listening to a song would make you get up even from a deep sleep. My connection with TV was surpassed by my connection with radio(vividh bharti, i mean). I still long to hear hawamahal and sugam sangeet. To share something: Last week I happened to watch this oldie called Kinara, and the song "mithe bol bole" suddenly got me connected to a program on radio in which they used to play film songs that have classical base, and in which I had heard this song many a times some 20-22 years back. The feeling was so overwhelming as during that song, I almost relived my childhood; though in bits and pieces. You are so right when you say that music connects our present with our past. To add to it, I think it retrieves our past. Ah! that bygone era...dil dhoondhta hai...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-1137603783314227182006-01-18T22:33:00.000+05:302006-01-18T22:33:00.000+05:30BG,I had a trip down memory lane after going throu...BG,I had a trip down memory lane after going through this very"nice post"<BR/>1.I had such a hell of a search for<BR/>a song called "kaali kaali gehre saaye"from the film chakra(1981)<BR/>music-hridayanath mangeshkar,still elusive<BR/>2.while going to school in 1981,i'd seen a poster of the film KARZ with Rishi kapoor holding a guitar on a wall near my home in kerala,still etched in my mind.<BR/>3.thanksAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-1137594073971054302006-01-18T19:51:00.000+05:302006-01-18T19:51:00.000+05:30I have never heard of that song. Hell I wasnt even...I have never heard of that song. Hell I wasnt even born then! But I know the feeling you get when you rediscover an old song. Recently, a friend recorded the title song of the tele series Chandrakanta and played it over the phone. It was not my favourite but there was something there. It was a part of my past and I hadnt thought of it even once. That triggered my memory about a lot of other things too.<BR/><BR/>Chitrahaar is still aired. Every Wednesday, girls in my hostel crowd around the TV. But cable tv has robbed me of the simple joy of enjoying it anymore.Deepa Bhasthihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17189562311583907803noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-1137575258986334332006-01-18T14:37:00.000+05:302006-01-18T14:37:00.000+05:30I so don't understand the hindi words or the song ...I so don't understand the hindi words or the song but i do understand the craze for the music ;) obsession it is sweet obsession ;)<BR/><BR/>and i think every nation every channel had a chitrahaar - reminds me of the good old days of 3 channel tv back home here - when nice or not you glued to the tv when it was the indian progs airing sessionVisithrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14525994382867482657noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-1137565118393559912006-01-18T11:48:00.000+05:302006-01-18T11:48:00.000+05:30ahhhhhhhhh...nostalgia- becos I belong to the era ...ahhhhhhhhh...nostalgia- becos I belong to the era when "chitrahaar used to be "chaayageet"- and the strains of "aplam, chaplam, chaplai re...." still haunt me -when the neighbours used to flock into one's home to watch in unison- "chaayageet"- "phool khile hain gulshan gulshan"- and "ladoo singh taxi waala"<BR/><BR/>nyways am familiar with the situation of stumbling into the remotest of possibilities once upon a time and so can understand the excitement- but today, in the place where I live- such quests are doomed...people look at me as if I were an alien when I utter such ancient mumbo jumbo...and so I seek the elusive contentment by reading abt such deja vu- <BR/> found my way to your abode with the help of a friend <BR/>ardraArdrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10005169454353807178noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-1137564576214872632006-01-18T11:39:00.000+05:302006-01-18T11:39:00.000+05:30ahhhhhhhhhh...indeed a "nice post" - same old feel...ahhhhhhhhhh...indeed a "nice post" - same old feeling of old friends sitting together and exchanging stories from their lives!!<BR/>Never heard that song or heard of it until now - but now I am all eager to get hold of it myself and see what it is all about!Ushahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00179239922869639391noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-1137545069612599612006-01-18T06:14:00.000+05:302006-01-18T06:14:00.000+05:30Finally...and finally...and absolutely finally...s...Finally...and finally...and absolutely finally...someone who is a die-hard romantic like me!<BR/><BR/>Affirms my faith in the human being...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17929252.post-1137536969255965272006-01-18T03:59:00.000+05:302006-01-18T03:59:00.000+05:30I am tempted to say ...
