Babul (1950) | dir. S. U. Sunny

[ Dilip Kumar and Nargis ]

[bollywoodirect]

Today marks the 20th death anniversary of Uma Devi Khatri aka #TunTun. She was a well-known singer and actress, famous for being the first female comedian in Hindi cinema. Uma was born in 1923 in a small village near Amroha, Uttar Pradesh, India. Tragically, her parents and brother were killed over a land dispute. Uma lost her family when she was very young and had to live as a maid with relatives. Despite these hardships, Uma's life changed when she met Akhtar Abbas Kazi, an Excise Duty Inspector, who supported and encouraged her. During the India-Pakistan partition, Kazi moved to Lahore, but Uma went to Bombay (now Mumbai) to pursue a singing career in movies. They later married in Bombay in 1947. Uma bravely approached composer Naushad Ali in Bombay, asking for a chance to sing, and he gave her an opportunity. She debuted as a singer in the film "Wamiq Azra" (1946) and quickly made a name for herself. Uma had a series of hit songs in the 1940s, including in the movie "Dard" (1947). Her singing career flourished, and she became one of the top playback singers. However, as music styles changed, she found it hard to compete with newer singers. Naushad suggested she try acting, and she debuted in the film "Babul" (1950) alongside Dilip Kumar, where she got her stage name "Tun Tun." Tun Tun became a famous comic actor, appearing in many films over the next decades, including with stars like Amitabh Bachchan. She acted in about 198 films in various languages, becoming a well-loved figure in Bollywood comedy. Her last film appearance was in "Kasam Dhande Ki" (1990). Tun Tun's name became a cultural reference in India, often associated with comic characters.

DAY 3639

‘sun city’ , Jodhpur           Mar 10/11,  2018            Sat/Sun  6:12 AM

When there is improbability .. when there is disturbed routine .. when the natural demands the unnatural .. then ..

‘stiffen the sinews summon up the blood, disguise fair nature with hard-favour’d rage ..’

and get to battle .. to battle the demons .. to fly past them and those that be the cause .. screaming within, the valour of strength .. and fight to victory ..

It is of no surprise, how that which is taught, learned experienced in the ages gone by, the decades, remains etched in us, to last the eternal span of our lives !

Shakespeare and ‘Henry V’ as quoted above in italics, has no referendum, no reason, no quality of its express now and here .. yet it comes by in a wave of celebrated mind, when thoughts are needed to convey that which has its difficulty in conveyance ..

.. that Math table drummed into you as you accompany Father during his long morning walks about the lanes surrounding residence in place of birth, Allahabad, 17 Clive Road .. and the fear of not getting the tables after the 10 .. 11 was easy, but after, a mess, and the apprehension of that whack on the head ..

.. that slap on the face from classmate , whom you challenged jokingly without realising the consequences .. and then just giving in because he was bigger and stronger .. unlike what Mother encouraged, to fight 3 other friends who bullied me and made me come crying and complaining to Ma .. and she sending me back to fight and win .. I did win in the end ..

.. that ‘babul’ tree plant that you come across during work now on film TOH in Jodhpur, Meherangarh Fort ramparts, and the story you tell crew and associates on film, of how we cured that stye in the eye, by breaking the leaf of the plant, rubbing it over the painful stye, and thrusting it upon one of the many prominent thorns of the plant .. as the leaves dried up on thorn, so did the stye ..! 

.. of painting the floor of the road outside your home , 17 Clive Rd again, with the initials AB, along with a few other friends also bearing same initials, and waiting on Holi with filled ‘pickaries’, to spray on any that walked across that AB paint .. intrusion of our territory .. childish, yet so prominent in memory ..

.. that compassionate ‘maharajin’, the special lady cook of the house, making your favourite ‘rajma chawal’ in the summers of North, and sitting on one bed with iced floor, unique air conditioning by Mother to beat the heat, and in one ‘thali’ the three of us, Mother, brother and I dipping our hands into it together, no separate plates, and savouring the delicious lunch ..

.. the early morning breakfast and the forced spoon of Cod Liver Oil, a torture to digest, given by Mother, and every resentment of it, encouraged by Father in his continuous words ..’how delicious !’ ..

.. that special porridge cup, brought by Mother, having comic characters painted at the bottom base inside, and filled with ‘kela malai’ doused with sugar and the speed of devouring it to be able to see who would ‘see’ those figures at the bottom of the cup first , covered till then with the eatable ..

.. those buckets of ‘nimboo pani’ consumed during the summer months after you are back home sweaty and wet with perspiration, having just returned after an exhausting game of ‘catch me’ at your friend’s balcony with other friends ..

.. of School in the city of birth, and those breaks between classes, when out in the open grounds of BHS - Boys’ High School, you quickly mustered a game of ‘gulli danda’, hitting the ‘gulli’ and catching the eye of classmate, Sudhir, and causing him grave damage, getting whacked by the Principal for it .. and Sudhir, later, sharing a room with him and other BHS guys in Calcutta when working there in 1962, still in contact after so many years .. like 1950 to now 2018 ..

.. of travelling to School , BHS again, knicker pockets filled with marbles - a pride in the numbers you possessed, particularly the ‘sodri’, that off white opaque marble that was the stopper on soda water bottles in those days - and that is where the name of that marble came from - hitting it hard with the hand to open the soda water bottle, and after retrieving that special marble from inside the bottle, for after hitting the top stopper the marble used to go inside the bottle .. that was a special marble .. not just because it was difficult to possess, but for some reason it was the hardest marble .. used judiciously in the game of marbles, which we played at School, to ‘hit’ the opponents marble and gain points in the game - every opposition marble you hit, became your possession .. which is why the numbers in the pocket mattered - it represented your success at the game ..

.. those Boy Scouts routines and the learning of the various rope knots .. the ‘reef knot’ - left over right turn, right over left turn, pull - the strongest knot ever .. still use that formula when tying stings, threads, the ‘naada’ of the pyjamas, till date .. 

.. that procedure of putting eye drops .. learnt from the Mother of friend in Calcutta during the working years there .. keep the eye closed, and drop the drops in the little cavity formed between the eye and the nose bridge .. open the eye after and the medicine goes comfortably inside and washes it .. use the procedure still .. instead of holding the eye open with fingers and aiming the drops into the eye .. never get it right .. missing the mark often ..

.. those elementary disciplines during Boy Scout days and the teachings of crossing roads when walking .. look right, look left, look right again then cross .. because the traffic came from the right ..  I still practice that , even when walking across from Jalsa to Janak from behind in a bye lane, barely a few steps away to cross .. in the US and Europe of course you would change the routine and start by looking left first .. ( looking ‘left’ first .. hmm .. in certain McCarthy times you would probably warrant arrest ) ..

AHHH ... I would require an entire book to continue .. 

The sun peeks through the window .. the birds they chirp .. that summer bird prominent , nostalgic .. 

I must end .. the delay regretted .. Sunday of drumming work together for the days ahead .. a little rest if possible from those nagging pains ..

Amitabh Bachchan

a ‘pooja’ on the premises .. an offering to the Jain community Gods ..

AB, Jodhpur

INDIES 2.5 YR OLD BLOG ON THE CORRECTNESS IN ALL RESPECTS, OF ABROGATING ART. 370. :

NOTHING UNCONSTITUTIONAL in abrogating Art.370!

Gov's Rule imposed, after waiting 6 mths for alternative, once PDP-BJP alliance fell.

Btw, per longstanding demand, since 1950s! A demand with lotsa mass support!

Onto constitutionality..

1. Nehru used same Art 367 to change Sadre Riyasat to Gov, & PM of K to CM..as Prez in 2019 did, to change Constituent Assembly to Legislative Assembly.

https://indianexpress.com/article/explained/how-governors-rule-and-presidents-rule-set-jk-apart-from-other-states-satya-pal-malik-5492730/

2. Do u find it morally acceptable, that any provision of Ind Constitution, as Art 370 "Constituent Assembly" tangle, be allowed to assume such perpetually unchallengeable magnitude?

Certainly no progressive mind could.

This Art 367 move, was long overdue,to get us outta the hazy rut.

3. Since J&K u/ Prez rule long,with no own Legislative Assembly, perfectly valid, & constitutional, for elected Central Gov, per longstanding demand, to recommend, turn State to UT, & legally recommend unto itself (Gov to Prez) taking away spl status, via Art 370(3).

>https://indiankanoon.org/doc/666119/

Technical arguments:

a) Art 3 silent on downgrading State to UT. >https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1659104/

b) Parl u/ Art 356,assume power of legislature,naturally interpreted as inclg, recommending such UT downgrade of State.

Further Babulal Paradi SC judgment, corroborate such supremacy. >https://indiankanoon.org/doc/1659104

Btw, Cong should be last party to moralize about procedures,since all sr. journos, narrate how State of Telangana created, by switching off Parliament's lights, & forcing (botched) voice vote! That too, merely for political play, with no own ideological founding or advocacy history.
