My father's departure in Dec 2020 for Covid, took a lot away from within me. I developed a certain kind of detachment from watching Cinema. It stopped exciting me ever since & Have rarely seen Cinema & OTT stuff in last 2 yrs & even gave long break to our Podcast @ChaalHaal #MOMD

@ChaalHaal

@ChaalHaal I did see 5-6 much awaited & recc'ed films like TheDisciple, MinnalMurali & Sherni & some segments from Anthology films of @ghaywan @Vasan_Bala, @AratiRaval & @ashutoshc06, still wasn't as excited abt new stuff as ever. But VasanB & @varungrover's new work is reviving interest

@Vasan_Bala

Finally am excited about a film after long as dear @Vasan_Bala's Monica O My Darling has arrived last night on @netflix. Tonight started watching & m surprised by a Kick-Ass opening sequence that it delivers. But stopped on the Titles when his name popped up, just for this thread

माफ़ कीजिये मगर मेरे हिसाब और रिसर्च से ये कन्हैया लाल मुंशी वाली कहानी अधूरी है. पिछले साल मैने कुछ पुराने दस्तावेज खंगाले हैं. और हंस का प्रचलित इतिहास विश्वस्त नहीं है. Sharing a few bits in this thread- गुस्ताखी माफ़

@profapm

@profapm @MrinalPande1 @irfaniyat @varungrover @asadkidwai प्रेमचंद ने अपने नाम के आगे 'मुंशी' शब्द का इस्तेमाल खुद कभी नहीं किया। न किसी ख़त में इसका ज़िक्र मिलता है न किसी समकालीन लेखकों के संस्मरणों में, हां, साल 1937 की 'हंस' पत्रिका में वो अपने उपनाम 'नवाबराय' पर मज़ाक करते हुए ज़रूर पढ़े गए।

'हंस' शुरु में तो प्रेमचन्द ने खुद ही निकाली थी, बनारस में सरस्वती प्रेस से, और 1943 की बायोग्राफी के मुताबिक, 1935 में के. एम. मुंशी पहली बार को-एडिटर बने.. उससे पहले के अखबारों में प्रेमचन्द के साथ मुंशी लिखा गया (1934 की कटिंग)

#Wordle 289 #Yesterday

#Gulzar for #Salman - Jaan.E.Mann is a fav soundtrack (of a disappointing film)..

https://twitter.com/p1j/status/1510721901320347648

सौ हसरतें, पर तेरा ग़म नहीं #g

Jaan.E.Mann was a terrific album of its time with an amazing set of songs which were Poetic, Melodious, Youthful, Visual & Experimental with a sane #AnuMalik at work with #Gulzar & Sonu as the key drivers

सब्र से इश्क़ महरूम है #gulzar

My fav is the grand musical innovative take where d song becomes interesting tool for story telling to convey d back-story of protagonists (romance-marriage-career- mistakes-separation-divorce) in just 8mins song #JaanEMann

Today was the 1st death anniv of my Father, who we lost last year for #Corona. Although his presence is still so strong in our home tht we always find him sitting in the favorite corner of the house. He is responsible for our musical upbringing. Sharing a childhood musical memory

कभी महफ़िल में कभी गोशा-ए-तन्हाई में
कोई रह-रह के रुलाये तो ग़ज़ल होती है

Today also marks Birthday of Ghazal Singer Ghulam Ali & my father had organized 1of his earliest Indian concerts in January 1983 in Kota. The date was 16th Jan 1983 and I had just entered in the Teen club.

It was early 80s, For long Ghulam Ali saab was struggling to get an Indian VISA for concerts & film recordings though he had become a household name for his popularity thru record sales. He got it in 1983 & he agreed for the Kota schedule which was getting postponed for his VISA
