[neilperrysme]

tumhare hi hone se aabaad hai dil

tumhi jab na hoge toh veeraan hoga

tum hi se hai hasrat tumhi se hai armaan

na hasrat hi hogi na armaan hoga

tumhe dillagi

nusrat fateh ali khan

तेरे होंठो पे रात ये बहाना था

गोरी तुझको तो आज नहीं आना था

[the-sound-ofrain]

how do i extract the shade of evening who blushes like the lover ran to my arms after a tiring day ?

how do i paint the sun who never sleeps to keep the promises he made to his 2 wives—the 2 sides of the world ?

how do i draw the shimmering waves at the coast, imitating the shivering lips of my squirrel (my girl) after i left her breathless with a scintillating kiss ?

how do i portray the longing of the mother's eyes sitting at the door, waiting for her only hope, her son, to come back ?

how do i depict the rage of silence of a girl who never felt loved by her father ?

how do i reproduce the anxiety of the single parent to go back & kiss their child waiting for them at the child care centre & give them all the attention they craved for ?

how do i enact the remorse of the desert who engulfed another wanderer who trusted her ?

how do i render the sacrifice of a father coming back on a local train, holding on to that hanging strap with his weary hands like he is holding hope on his children for a better life ?

how do i carve out the mirage smile on the farmer's face who is looking at the drenched field, who is looking at the people enjoying rain, who is worrying about the intensity of rain, who is worrying about his child's fee ?

DAY 5919

StWork, Mumbai May 2, 2024 Thu 12:49 PM

Birthday - EF - Elena Iankova Friday, 3 May .. and all our wishes for a happy birthday

🌹

Yo !

here before time for a very big change .. haha ..

but at work and got a bit of time and BOOM !

got to say the travel from Juhu home to work Marine Drive in 30 mins .. amazing Coastal Road and the Tunnel emerging on Marine Drive , just before its flyover and simply amazing .. !

Super constructed roads, tunnel, neat clean construct .. no traffic jams .. and done ..

Ok just to change the topic .. here is something to know :

Know what is a "mondegreen?'

MONDEGREENS

If you’ve been listening to rock music, you know it’s often hard to make out the lyrics. They sing it their way and we hear it our way.

Jimi Hendrix famously sang the phrase “While I kiss the sky” which was heard by thousands as “While I kissed this guy.”

CCR’s popular song originally said, “There’s a bad moon on the rise.” Many heard it as “There’s a bathroom on the right.”

Deep Purple’s still-popular chorus (known for its timeless guitar riff) “Smoke on the water/Fire in the sky” was misheard as “Smoke on the water/Fire engine guy.”

Nirvana’s anthem “Smells like Teen Spirit” had the lines, “Here we are now/Entertain us.” They were misheard as, “Here we are now/In containers.”

When Elvis Presley sang, “Everybody in the whole cell block”, many heard it as” Everybody in a wholesale frock”

There’s actually a word for misheard lyrics like these.

Mondegreen.

Some mondegreens became so famous that even artistes like Hendrix and CCR sang the misheard versions in their live concerts in a spirit of fun and tease.

It’s not just in pop songs that mondegreens occur. The US national anthem begins with the lofty words, “Oh say, can you see, by the dawn’s early light.’ Some heard them as “José, can you see…”

Occasionally, mondegreens had an interesting side-effect. Joe Cocker sang of a ‘lovely planet’ which was misheard as ‘lonely planet.’ The latter became the name of a well-known travel guide series of books.

No one knows why we hear the wrong thing although there are theories. It’s akin to the game of Chinese Whispers where the original line gets progressively distorted into some hilarious garbage by the time it reaches the last guy.

Mondegreens are not restricted to English alone. South Indians, with limited knowledge of Hindi, were taught patriotic songs in Hindi by zealous teachers. A popular one had the repeating phrase, “Bara tamata.” School students sang it with great gusto. Years later, some of them realized the actual words were “Bharat Mata.”

A popular line from Qurbani song, “Aap jaisa koi meri/zindagee mein aaye/ toh baat bun jaaye” was understood as “Aap jaisa koi…toh baap bun jaaye.” The defective version made sense to many who saw Zeenat Aman gyrating on those lyrics while gaping at Feroz Khan.

Many who weren’t familiar with the hill station between Bombay and Pune heard the Gulaami song as “Haathi ka andaa la” until they realized it was “Aati kya Khandala”.

I have a friend, her name is Geeta. Her family called her Gitu. Throughout her childhood and youth, she thought Rajesh Khanna was singing for her, when he said, ”Mere sapnon ki raani kab aaye Gitu”.

'Mondegreen' sounds French but isn't. In 1954, a writer at Harper’s Magazine remembered how as a little girl she misheard an old English ballad. The actual words, saluting a dead war hero, were:

𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘭 𝘰' 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘺 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘥 𝘩𝘪𝘮 𝘰𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯.

She heard them as:

𝘛𝘩𝘦𝘺 𝘩𝘢𝘷𝘦 𝘴𝘭𝘢𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘌𝘢𝘳𝘭 𝘰' 𝘔𝘰𝘳𝘢𝘺 𝘈𝘯𝘥 𝘓𝘢𝘥𝘺 𝘔𝘰𝘯𝘥𝘦𝘨𝘳𝘦𝘦𝘯.

And thus was born the word ‘mondegreen’ to signify all misheard lyrics from that moment on.

Turns out, mondegreen itself started life as a mondegreen.

More perhaps later .. or perhaps not ..

Amitabh Bachchan

and some more .. a very pertinent article in TOI ..

Remembering Raj Khosla on his 99th birth anniversary (31/05/1925).

Raj Khosla was one of the top directors in Hindi films from the 1950s to the 1980s. He was popularly known as a 'women's director' because he showcased actresses at their best capabilities. Khosla is that rare filmmaker in Hindi cinema who handled different genres of films with equal ease while adding his own individual stamp to each of his films. Along with Guru Dutt and Vijay Anand, he was responsible for elevating song picturizations in Hindi cinema during the 1950s and 60s.

Born on May 31, 1925, Khosla initially entered the film industry with hopes of becoming a playback singer. Struggling to make it as a singer, he joined Guru Dutt as an assistant director with Baazi (1951).

In 1954, Khosla got his first break with Milap, starring Dev Anand and Geeta Bali. The film failed to create a significant impact, but Khosla's second film, produced by his mentor Guru Dutt, C.I.D. (1956), propelled him into the big league. C.I.D. was a polished crime thriller that highlighted Khosla's stylish shot-taking and innovative song picturization, elements he inherited from Guru Dutt.

As he continued to make films, Raj Khosla altered his film styles at times and added his unique touch to each genre. Never wanting to play it safe, Khosla made films that were widely different. He explored a variety of styles, including crime thrillers like C.I.D. and Kala Pani, musicals like Ek Musafir Ek Hasina, suspense thrillers like Woh Kaun Thi?, Mera Saaya, Anita, melodramas like Do Badan and Do Raaste, and dacoit dramas like Mera Gaon Mera Desh.

Films like Prem Kahani (1975), featuring the then hottest pair of the day, Rajesh Khanna and Mumtaz, and another smash hit, Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki (1978), made Raj Khosla one of the most revered directors in Bollywood. He was a director who understood women and their sentiments very well. Khosla worked with eminent actors like Amitabh Bachchan, Zeenat Aman, and Shatrughan Sinha. He passed away in 1991. The last years of this director were not much attached to the film industry.

Raj Khosla was awarded the Filmfare Best Movie Award for 'Main Tulsi Tere Aangan Ki' in 1978.

I lack photos of Mark and I together, so I grabbed pivotal images from Mark’s fascinating career as a champion of pedal steel, resonator, and twang guitar + singer-songwriter. He was in the Grammy-nominated “New Wave cowboy” band Rubber Rodeo (shown here)—in the 80s RR played at Mabuhay Gardens in San Francisco while I just happened to be lurking nearby. The world got smaller when Mark and I met in Pennsylvania, performing and recording with Ben Kaplan, some Badlees-spinoff projects, and extensively with the band Neon Cactus. Circa 2000 I was working with Davy Jones (Monkees) on his JUSTME series of original recordings. Davy wanted a pedal steel guitarist, and I summoned Mark. Here’s “Hold Me Tight,” a Tex-Mex samba we did; the Mike Nesmith-ian arrangement was Davy’s idea: 

Meanwhile HB EMT. By the time I get to Phoenix anything can happen…

Okay, I really can't complain because - well, anyone that has heard about this movie, or even if you're just looking at the posters, you know what this is (utter shit). And it's creepy as fuck, seeing Rajesh Khanna in this role. I mean, he's not the only old timey actor who has done some really junky movie (Amitabh Bachchan in Boom, for example), but this one undoubtedly takes the cake. In a very, very not good way. I don't know how he agreed to this at all. (Honestly, that can probably be said for everyone in the movie - though, in 2008, I guess we were amidst the whole 'skin show' thing, so it makes sense that some folks signed up for their 15 seconds of fame.) Also, they go way over-the-top with the devoted husband bit, and its fucking annoying (though, I guess, that can be expected given the name of the movie).

Get a fucking doctor to advise, because asthma inhalers should not be used as perfume bottles. What a fucking shitshow. ... Also, how the hell does he just walk into a hotel and be like "is there any room for (name)" and when there isn't, "is there any other name?" (uh, of course?), and when so, "can I know the room number?" - and he gets the fucking room number from the manager at the hotel! Like, talk about a horrible hotel manager. Privacy, security, everything - all right out the window.

Worst movie I've ever seen? Yeah, maybe - though this was expected to be that the second I turned it on (and even over the last 16 years, when I avoided turning it on). I expected Red to be bad, but not the worst - but it was destroyed by horrible medical knowledge in the plot; Deewana Main Deewana had Govinda and Priyanka Chopra, so I did expect at least something out of that one. This one, though, had no expectations at all, so I guess in a relative sense, it may not be the lowest of lowest 0 star movies. (Money Hai Toh Honey Hai also comes into the conversation, I guess; I'm sure a few more, too, that just don't come to mind right now.)

The songs are very fitting for this movie and this acting.

Once the 'suspense' starts, a couple of considerations came into play for me.

Raqeeb, where he knows what's coming and somehow faked it (but unlike Jimmy Sheirgill in that movie, in this one Rajesh Khanna returns immediately and makes no attempt to hide it; also, if the body was messed up beyond recognition, how did she recognize it as him so easily; and where did he even find a body?), or Rishi Kapoor's Khoj, which had a similar attempt many years before.

Red Swastik, where she's hallucinating him (completely different setting, but same idea) - in that case, this would probably be a portrayal of the guilt of the crime riding on her (this seems clever, but also very deep for this type of movie - and most Bollywood movies in general, and would be hard to pull off with them showing that everyone else also sees him).

Vodka Diaries-level psychiatric break? This also had a hallucination at the end, but not to the level of Red Swastik.

And, of course, a Dhoom 3-style double role is always in play in Bollywood - but then, how did they be married for 5 years and her not know (and even his sister never brought it up)?

But, honestly - if she's demanding it isn't her husband, forcing them to stay together seems to be very risky and dumb. Can't believe they'd keep doing that.

And how she keeps alternating between yelling to everyone he's a fraud and then trying to seduce him - first, obviously fake and he's got to know that, but second, why the fuck does he keep letting her do that? He's clearly got to know what she's trying to do - but what is his end goal? Because unless this goes full-scale Bollywood-level shit, there's no way she's just going to be like "I screwed up, let's go back to how it was before when I felt super trapped (and literally almost had 2 psychotic breaks in the first 5 minutes of the movie)." And how would the relationship even last, because she's not going to stop feeling trapped. And sexually unsatisfied, because apparently whenever she even tries he has an asthma attack and then passes out. So, again, what is his end goal in all this? He already knows she tried to kill him, so he can admit everything and have her arrested at once. Essentially, his end goal seems to amount to "I love you, so I will torture you incessantly (to make you accept me as your husband) instead of having you arrested for attempted murder." Clearly she doesn't love him, and he's completely oblivious to how trapped she feels (even though she already told him that). He's like "I love you," so be with me even if I can't have sex without having an asthma attack and am constantly harassing you and not allowing you to do anything; by the end, he's literally driven her insane. (Well done, you torturing asshole.) You got what you wanted, I guess - she admitted to trying to kill you (which you already knew), the cops literally tortured your driver/her boyfriend(?) with electric shocks, and you drove her fucking insane with your stupid decision/actions. (Hell, the ending is even a little bit like Kaashi, but even that movie portrays it's overall story better than this nonsense.)

Also annoying - the future brother-in-law, who just shows up to say 'bhabhi' in a very annoying way, over and over again.

Even the appearance of Tinu Anand and Sudesh Berry can't save anything here, because they're essentially not here - and when they are, they're just being stupid and saying "oh, you have to keep staying with him." And the cops just letting him go and touch her over and over again when she says stop (husband or not) is pathetic. In fact, Sudesh Berry's cop allowing this sort of harassment (on both ends) to go on is just fucking annoying - also because we have to keep hear her yelling as a result. Neither of them amounted to anything here.

Somehow, the movie's ending is even worse than everything leading up to it, which I would've thought impossible with the way the first half of the movie went.

I've changed my mind - yes, this movie is very much in serious contention for worst movie I've ever seen. What Red has in horrible medical storytelling and Money Hai Toh Honey Hai has in terrible plot and Deewana Main Deewana has in terrible moral/message and that Sunny Leone/Arbaan Khan movie has in floating mango horror, this movie has in literally fucking everything. What a shitshow.

Tribute 796.

Tribute to Actor Rajesh Khanna 796

Today, I am compelled to feature another fascinating personality from the Bollywood film industry, none other than the late Rajesh Khanna, in my blogs. Four decades ago, his dominance in Bollywood was not an exaggeration. He held the title of the first superstar and the highest-paid actor for nearly a decade. Known for his versatile acting and stylish looks, he left a significant impact on cine fans. His films were infused with enchanting songs, music, compelling stories, and, above all, wonderful cinematography.

The collaboration between the late director Shakti Samanta, music stalwart S.D. Burman, and Rajesh Khanna's performances created magic in the industry that no one can deny. Working with top-class actors and directors like the late Manmohan Desai and Raj Khosla added to his illustrious career. Shakti Samanta played a crucial role in giving Rajesh Khanna a breakthrough and establishing his stardom.

Among the many memorable films to his credit, I've personally enjoyed classics such as Bawarchi, Anand, Aradhana, Kati Patang, Andaz, Sachaa Jhutha, Dushman, Amar Prem, Apna Desh, and others that slip my mind at the moment. Even though he has left us, his memorable songs and films remain a testament to his talent. Rajesh Khanna received numerous accolades, including a feature in the popular Outlook magazine, recognizing him as one of the outstanding stars of his time.

Remembered as one of the finest and most charming actors by millions of fans, I am pleased to pay tribute to this stalwart.

K. Ragavan. 11-12-23 Until we meet again next week.
