Here is the 1973 recording by Vidhushi Prabha Atre
Found this cute random home video of a 2 year old performing this with his mother!
The late great Pt.Kumar Gandharva performs the song. This is all the more incredible when you know he used perform with one functioning lung.

Here is a rendering from a Marathi movie
Bhai - Vyakti Ki Valli (Superb performance!!)

Built in 1942, Chakulia airport in present day Jharkhand was home to B-29s from the USAAF's 40th Bombardment Group, Abandoned in 1945, it remained a notified area with a ban on construction. There are proposals to revive it in the future.

Eastern India, including Bengal, Jharkhand and Odisha were home to fighter and bomber squadrons from the 10th USAAF's India Air Task Force. Many of these bases were converted to IAF or civil use after 1945, but several were abandoned. Here is what became of these....
The airport near the present day IIT Kharagpur was known as the Hijli Base Area hosted the United States Army Air Force XX Bomber Command 58th Bombardment Wing in early 1945. The airport no longer exists but its runway provides the alignment for the Hijli Railway station. ImageImage
Asansol airport was established in 1941 by the RAF. From 1943 B-17s of the USAAF 7th Bombardment Group were based here. Abandoned after the war, the outline of the aprons are visible in the ecological park to the south-west of the frame below. Image

“Capitalism is the astounding belief that the most wickedest of men will do the most wickedest of things for the greatest good of everyone.”
― John Maynard Keynes

#Polymath and and #economist. Image
Between 1901, (age 18) and 1915, Keynes kept a quarterly tabulation of his sexual partners (both male and female). Entirely fitting hobby for a budding economist. Among his many male lovers was Benoy Kumar Sarkar, identfied as Indian nationalist and social scientist. Image
In 1925 Keynes fell in love with and married Russian ballerina Lydia Lopokova. They would remain married until his death in 1946. Image

Given the current goings-on in #Ottawa I'm reminded of a book the late Gilles Paquet and I did in 2012 surveying the plans and aspirations for Canada's capital over its lifetime.

The Unimagined Canadian Capital: Challenges for the Federal Capital Region amazon.ca/dp/0986871648/…
The federal government's challenge in Ottawa is that apart from federally owned NCC lands and buildings, it is reliant entirely on municipal and provincial law enforcement. Ottawa is a mere municipality in the Province of Ontario and the Feds are one of many who reside here.
To learn more about how different capitals are governed see our 2011 book
