                        Waheeda Rehman as Gulabo in "Pyaasa" (1957)
The story of the real Gulabo is a moving example of art imitating life. It's in Chapter 8 of "Ten Years with Guru Dutt - Abrar Alvi's Journey" by Sathya Saran (Penguin Books India 2008)
Abrar Alvi had a degree in Law plus a lot of experience as a member of and writer for the college's theatre group; by chance (his cousin being an aspiring actor) he became a part of Guru Dutt's team during the making of "Baaz" (1953).
His job was script- and dialogue writing and the development of true-to-life characters in collaboration with the actors on the set.
                                                             THE STORY OF GULABO   -   PART 1 OF 3
 "Chapter 8 - Janam Safal Ho Jaaye
(...)  I was writing Aar Paar. I was still staying as a guest with cousin Yashwant who was by then seriously considering marrying his paramour, the vivacious ex-partner of Haridarshan Films. (He did marry Haridarshan Kaur, and their daughter, Yogeeta Bali, became an actress in the 1970s.)
I had some rich friends from Hyderabad. They had studied with me in Nagpur and some of them had stayed at the YMCA as I did. We had kept in touch. They had driven down from Hyderabad to Bombay for a bit of fun, and when they found out where I was, and that I was 'in the film line', it excited their curiosity. They drove across town to meet me.
I had no place even to seat them, let alone entertain them in the way they were used to being entertained. I tried to take them across the road to the Irani hotel, but they insisted I get into their car and drove away with me saying 'Have dinner with us, we will drop you back at night.'
We drove to the seashore. There were many shacks there, built for couples who had to meet clandestinely. My friends had rented one of those. The place has developed now and the well-known Janki Kutir residential complex stands in place of the shacks, but those days it was lonely and quiet and the air was sonorous with the swishing of palm leaves.
They had prepared well for the evening. There were bottles of rum, and glasses, food and clean plates. I was a little ill at ease, having never had alcohol till then. But I was happy to be with old friends again, and they were a hospitable lot, so I was soon engrossed in their conversation.
Then, as the evening wore on, suddenly I could hear some giggling behind the cloth curtain, and before I could ask what the matter was, the curtain moved aside and three or four girls entered the room where we were sitting. They came and sat amongst us. They must have been about fifteen or sixteen and there was an older woman in charge of them, twenty-eight or twenty-nine perhaps. Or maybe she was younger...
I was at sea. I was, as they say, an anari. My friends, being sons of zamindars, were veterans in the habit of visiting kothas, interacting with women. I was shocked when they asked me to take my pick of the girls. I was still celibate, I had never known a woman before. Even though I had finally been tempted into taking a few sips of liquor, I was still in my senses to be able to refuse this offer. But they would not let up. I was their guest, they said, and I had to pick my woman first; only after I had made my choice could they pair up with the rest.
I continued to demur, then finally driven to pique by their insistence, I pointed to the oldest one. She was aghast at my choice.  'Why pick me when there are all these young, nubile women here?' she exclaimed.
I stuck to my choice, and the others paired up and went off to the beach, 'to have some fun'. The evening turned into night, and as the night rolled on, my friends floated in and out of the shack. The woman I had picked stayed in the shack with me. We talked. Her name, I discovered, was Gulabo. And I found her interesting.
Abrar was to keep in touch with Gulabo for more than three years. She left a deep enough impression on him to inspire him to create one of Hindi cinema's most unforgettable characters.
The first glimpse of Gulabo in Pyaasa is deceptive. She stands with her back to the camera, wrapped in a diaphanous sari. Her head is demurely covered. And it is only when she breaks into a song, and turns to look coyly back at Guru Dutt and lead him on, that you realize there is coquetry under the apparent demureness.
As the movie unravels, Gulabo proves to be a woman very different from the preconceived image of a streetwalker. A certain dignity combined with her adoration of the poet whose songs she has taken into her heart give her the grit and determination to fight for his cause and decide to be by his side, for better or worse.
Though Pyaasa  has sterling performances by each of it's artists, it is the character of Gulabo that stands out and reaches close to the stature of the hero. And yet, Gulabo was nowhere in the scheme of things when Guru Dutt first thought of his next film, says Abrar, talking of the time before Pyaasa  was conceived.
He did have a theme he wanted to explore. Guru Dutt had in mind the character of a rich, powerful socialite, a woman who was a patron of the arts and young artists. She would pick up the most promising one, and build him up, then dump him for a new interest. Through this process she would promote herself. The hero of the film would be one such artist, who would get involved with her, but would walk out of the tangle before she could dump him.
The idea had been triggered by the Chetana Art Gallery in Kala Ghoda, Bombay. Guru Dutt had probably modelled the socialite on Chhaya Arya (who incidentally runs the gallery now; it sells clothes by artisans, rather than fine art these days), whose father owned the gallery, and built a story around her, creating out of a person and a situation an imagined persona.
At the time that Guru Dutt was toying with this theme of the rich socialite gallery owner, Abrar had known Gulabo for all of three years. She was, by then, weighing heavy on his conscience. And he felt he had let her down as only a man could let a woman down, a woman who was dependent on him.
Abrar's interest in Gulabo had begun as curiosity. He was a writer after all, and here was his chance of understanding the psyche of a woman of uncertain character from close quarters. That evening when his friends had left the two of them together in the shack, Abrar started a conversation with his companion - as much as to hold her attentions at bay as to satiate his curiosity about her kind.
By the time the revelries ended, Abrar had spent the better part of the night talking to Gulabo. It was almost six in the morning when the party broke up, and all of them piled into the car, the men as well as the girls, who would be dropped off on the way.
'Gulabo insisted I walk her to the car,' Abrar remembers. 'Then as I stepped back to let her get into the car, she suddenly caught my wrist. "Come with me," she said, "we can talk some more on the way." I pointed out to her that there was little room in the car. "Sit on my lap," she offered.'
Abrar laughs reliving the moment of utter shock. 'She laughed at my discomfiture,' he says, 'but I was persuaded to fit myself into the crush inside the car.'
He found the writer in him drawn to Gulabo. They worked out a novel method of meeting. Gulabo lived at Teli Gali, Lalbaug, in Parel. Abrar's memory is crystal clear on the details: 'It is the first gali right of the bus station.' Her place of work, however, was in a brothel in Murgi Gali, which is parallel to the Grant Road Bridge.

Legendary Subimal ‘Chuni’ Goswami – the ‘gem’ of Indian Football who was also a cricketer of considerable merit
Indian Football legend Chuni Goswami passed away in Kolkata at the age of 82 after a prolonged illness. He was admitted to a private hospital where he breathed his last. Apart from Football, Goswami, had also represented Bengal in first-class cricket tournaments.
Chuni Goswami- The Leader
Subimal ‘Chuni’ Goswami died a little over one month after his former India teammate PK Banerjee breathed his last. Chuni, PK and Balaram- the famous ‘forward’ trio- brought the most famous victory of Indian Football when they scored 9 of India’s 11 goals on way to the Asian Games gold medal in Jakarta in 1962.
The trio won 12 of the 16 games they played together for India. They together scored 20 of India’s 36 goals in that period. Chuni Goswami scored 7 of those goals.
Goswami made his international debut for India in 1956 during the team's 1-0 victory over the Chinese Olympic team.He played 50 international matches for India including the Olympics, Asian Games, Asia Cup and Merdeka Cup. Apart from leading the India team that won gold in the 1962 Asian Games, he also captained the side during their silver-winning performance in the 1964 Asia Cup in Tel Aviv and in the Merdeka Cup.
Chuni Goswami- The Mariner who never opted for another club
Born on January 15, 1938, in Kishoreganj District of undivided Bengal (now in Bangladesh), Goswami joined the Mohun Bagan Junior Team in 1946 at the age of 8 years when he was spotted by Balaidas Chatterjee. He was groomed thoroughly through youth football and then graduated to the senior team in 1954 at the age of 16.
Chuni Goswami played for Mohun Bagan throughout his sporting career. He captained the club in 5 seasons from 1960 to 1964. Goswami holds the distinction of leading his side Mohun Bagan to three successive Durand Cup triumphs and four successive Kolkata League wins. By 1968, he had won every major domestic trophy with Mohun Bagan, including the Rovers Cup and IFA Shield.
A popular anecdote runs that once East Bengal’s general secretary Jyotish Guha offered to buy him the new Fiat car which had come in the market in the 1960s. However, Goswami refused and stayed with his first love Mohun Bagan. It is well-known that “Chuni-(Sailen)Manna do not take money to play for Mohun Bagan. It was a matter of pride for us.”
Chuni Goswami- The Glamorous Forward
Chuni Goswami belonged to a class of his own. With serpentine dribbling skills and slick ball control, Goswami was a charming forward. Ex-international player and renowned coach Subhash Bhowmick once said that Goswami could dribble as well as Ronaldinho or Robinho or any of the great Brazilians.
Goswami’s delectable body swerves deceived the defenders. His ability to find space in small areas made him a delightful watch. During his early years in Indian team, Goswami had to balance the demands of his job and the national team. The otherwise tough coach S.A. Rahim had a soft corner for Goswami. So when some members of the team objected to his late coming to practices, he retorted, “Uska maafik ball control karlo, tum bhi fir late aana”.
After India won gold under his captaincy at the Jakarta Asiad, Tottenham Hotspur got in touch with him and invited him for a trial. “In the end, though, I did not travel to England for the trial. There was too much of an uncertainty in choosing a career abroad. I was captain of Mohun Bagan, had a good job. My family was also tolerably well-off. The supporters here loved me. Dhiren-da told me: ‘What will you do there, staying all alone?’ So I did not go,” Chuni Goswami said.
Chuni Goswami- The Formidable Cricketer
Chuni Goswami bid adieu to international football in 1964. He was only 27 then. But his sporting career was not over. Goswami concentrated on Cricket after his retirement from Football. He represented Bengal in 46 matches between 1962 and 1973 and scored 1,592 runs as also takingand took 47 wickets.
A gentle medium in-swing bowler, he was one of the two bowlers, who plotted the historic innings defeat of Gary Sobers’ West Indies by the combined Central and East Zone team under Hanumant Singh in Indore. He remembered, “Though Sobers wasn’t playing, it was a strong line-up featuring Rohan Kanhai, Conrad Hunt and Basil Butcher. I took five wickets in an innings including that of Kanhai, and eight in the match. I also scored some runs against the likes of Wes Hall and Charlie Griffith. We won by an innings and 10 runs. I also took two outstanding catches. The one I took running from mid-on to deep square leg has been mentioned by Sobers in his book.” [The Telegraph, 29/07/2012]
Representing Bengal, he fearlessly scored 40+ facing Roy Gilchrist who played for Hyderabad in the Ranji Trophy. While describing him as a cricketer, Goswami said, “I am that bits-and-pieces cricketer. I couldn’t bat like Sachin Tendulkar or bowl like Kapil Dev. At best, I could field like Eknath Solkar. But I made the most of my limited strengths. That’s how I became an automatic choice for Bengal and the combined zone.”
Chuni Goswami- A die-hard sportsman
Goswami was also a decent hockey player who played a match for the Mohun Bagan hockey team. After retiring from Cricket, he played Lawn Tennis at Kolkata's famed South Club. For his sporting achievements, Chuni Goswami won the Arjuna Award in 1963 and the Padma Shri award in 1983. In 2005, Mohun Bagan coronated him as Mohun Bagan Ratna- the highest honour in the club.
The skilful genius was suffering from underlying ailments, including sugar, prostrate and nerve problems. He died  on 30th April, 2020 after having a cardiac arrest.

Step 4: Choose the places for Sightseeing Tour, Food and Shopping
So, the last time when I visited Rajasthan in the month of November, 2017 for an exotic holiday with family, it was a 7-day trip to Jaipur and trust me, it was super fun and amazing! Although there is a lot to share but I thought of coming up with the basic things. In order enjoy a hassle-free trip, you should prepare an itinerary in advance and then follow it religiously to make things work smooth as silk. Pen down all the places you want to visit (you know where to find all the information, Pssst…on Tour My India website!) with your family by keeping in mind the top tourist attractions that are convenient for both you and your aged family members to travel and enjoy the trip in a peaceful and a hassle-less way.
Sacred and Religious Places
If you have decided to enjoy the summer vacations in Mount Abu then you must definitely go on and seek blessings at the Dilwara Jain Temple which has beauty that is indescribable in words. Similarly, if you go to Jaipur, then you must see the Birla Mandir Temple which is beautifully structured with white marble. Visiting the City of Lakes? You should definitely take your family to Jagdish Temple to watch out the beautiful carvings, decorated ceilings and steep steps. And yes, above all- the BLESSINGS of Lord Vishnu!
Explore the Sightseeing and Heritage Attractions
Enjoy boating and feel the breeze in Nakki Lake of Mount Abu. The Lake Pichola in Udaipur has a very clean and relaxing atmosphere that makes the sightseeing very calm and peaceful. Oh! Don’t miss the visit to Jal Mahal- a palace that is built on water which is awesome sightseeing place in Jaipur. Keoladeo National Park (Bharatpur) is a must-visit place during the monsoon (best time to visit is between 6 a.m. to 9 a.m.). You can spend 3-4 hours that would be enough to explore the park or if you wish, you can even spend your whole day.
Also, make sure you don’t miss out on visiting the Mehrangarh fort while visiting Jodhpur.
Food Exploration: Don’t leave Rajasthan without tasting the authentic food
Want to try the Rajasthani Food? Then it’s a must that you should opt for Dal Baati Churma and other authentic Rajasthani food. Ah, I just cannot stop myself from drooling over these yummy dishes while typing about them. Dal Kachori, Pheni & Ghewar, Smoked Laal Maans (Red Meat Curry), Gatte ki sabzi, Ker Sangri ki Sabzi, Pyaaz ki kachori (made of mouthwatering masalas and golden-brown onions) and the list will not end. What makes the food so delicious are the use of dried beans, lentils, milk and buttermilk which are common in their cooking.
Shopping Spots in Rajasthan
So what strikes your mind while thinking about shopping in Rajasthan? The leather goods, spices and royal jewellery and trinkets, all make for some enticing pieces to be bought from the colourful bazaars of Rajasthan. Here is a list of shopping places that will help you get an idea of where to shop in Rajasthan’s popular destinations.
Johari Bazaar (Jaipur)- Shop the classic and typical Jaipuri ornaments
Bapu Bazar (Jaipur)- If you are in search of many choices, go ahead
Clock Tower Market (Jodhpur)- Get a variety of spices, flavoured-teas, antiques and so on
Nai Sarak (Jodhpur)- Grab the best of Rajasthani fabric: Bandhani suits, pagris and leather goods.
Mahatma Gandhi Road (Bikaner)- Your search for amazing mojris and handicrafts ends here.
And again, the list is endless as Rajasthan is vast and due to such rich culture, traditions and heritage, there is plenty to buy in the state. So, do not restrict yourself while exploring the markets, ask the locals about the popular bazaars and do visit them for that authentic shopping experience in Rajasthan.
Step 5: Add an additional Destination for Kids and the Elderly Family Members
As a kid, I was never interested in knowing the history of monuments and the culture. All I wanted to do is- perform activities that attracted me the most. Similarly, I believe, your kids might feel the same, so in order to not to make them feel restless or uninspired throughout the trip, you should add additional kids-friendly destinations or activities in your travel itinerary. Since Rajasthan is a destination for all, the state has a lot of things stored for the little guests as well. Some of the top attractions for kids in Rajasthan are mentioned below.
Puppet Making Workshop (Jodhpur), specially developed for families traveling with children.
Safari in Ranthambore National Park (Ranthambhore), bring the Children’s favorite Jungle Book to life and travel through the Indian Jungle on a Private Jeep Safari.
Boat Ride on Lake Pichola(Udaipur), your kids would love to enjoy boating around the shimmering water and watch out the activities being held all around.
Along, with your children, pamper your parents with the taste of royalty. There are a number of places that are perfect for your elderly parents to visit in Rajasthan. Below are some of the important ones:
The City Palace in Jaipur is one of the most visited and recommended place when visited with the elderly folks of the family. Experience the warm welcome with turbans and garland that best describes the traditional rajasthani royalty.
The Lake Pichola (Udaipur) would give an amazing sightseeing experience, with the building all around. Take them to Jag Mandir, which is situated on the Lake Pichola itself. Take a simple tour in the car and watching vibrancy of the city and cultural shows happening all around.
The Kalbeliya Dance on Rajasthani music in Jodhpur is a must visit with the age-old ones. Trust me they would love the unique way of dancing which is also called snake style dancing.
A visit to the Bharatpur Bird Sanctuary (now Keoladeo National Park) is not at all a bad idea.
A visit to the The Thar Heritage Museum located in the backstreet of the Jaisalmer can also be planned to not miss out on the preserved history and culture of Rajasthan.
Other than these, seeking Allah’s blessing in Khwaja Moinuddin Chisti’s Dargah in Ajmer and Ranakpur Jain Temple in Udaipur.
Step 6: Choose a Travel Agent
Even though, the steps for planning your family trip in Rajasthan discussed by me in this blog are quite comprehensible, I feel sometimes it gets too hectic to plan everything on your own, especially when one is travelling with family. In such cases, booking your tour with a trusted travel company like Tour My India who are experts in organizing such trips in the country, is a good idea. Travel experts not only offer you trips in a budget of your choice but can also impart valuable suggestions that will certainly make your trip even more fun. The itineraries are well-curated where each member of the family has something or the other to enjoy. Transports are arranged and the best hotel in your budget is also booked along with arrangements of activities and sightseeing tours that will be enjoyed by all the family members. Therefore, it is a good idea to book with a travel company, when planning a family trip.
