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.
sent to me by a friend .. 🤣🤣
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.

My Second Cinema Experience
As I perambulate around in the memoirs of my childhood, the memory of my second cultural outing fills me with delirious joy, in a time when the world was simpler, the pace relaxed and the neon was brighter. It was an epiphanic moment that transpired six months following my maiden fiasco, where my technical know-how in the world of visual storytelling was put to the test. But this time around, I was accompanied by a wealthy entourage of distinguished erudite persons, including maternal and avuncular figures, at the Swapan puri-the edifice of dreams of Bansberia-a picturesque township in the district of Hooghly.
Picture of Bansberia Municipality. Pic Courtesy: Facebook
Our destination was none other than the silver screen to partake in one of the then cinematic masterpieces, 'Lawaris' (The Orphan Guy), a blockbuster that had hit the silver screens in the year 1981. The cinematic masterpiece was crafted under the deft aegis of maven director, Mr. Prakash Mehra, and boasted arresting performances by thespian stalwarts, including Amitabh Bachchan, Zeenat Aman, Amzad Khan and Rakhee Gulzar.

As we ventured down the marbled passages, I could feel a tingle of excitement course through my veins. The posters plastered on the walls beckoned, promising scenes of action and adventure, romance, and comedy. The sound of the crowd hummed in the air, vibrant and alive with anticipation.
We found our seats, and I settled in, eager to experience what the legendary Lawaris had to offer. As the lights went down, the excitement in the theatre was palpable. The audience sat still, their breaths held, as the story of Lawaris unfolded in all its glory.
As the credits rolled, I was bewitched by the peppy, foot-tapping melodies comprising the earsplitting auditory hooks, such as 'Mere Aangne Mein Tumhara Kya Kaam Hai' and 'Apni To Jaisi Taisi', phrasing an aesthetic and boisterous marquee, arpeggiated by the musical prowess of the lyrical duo of India, Kalyanji Anandji . The musical score simulated spectral rhymes and induced jerky spasms in my fledgling self, prompting me to flounce and gyrate euphorically along with the beats of the hypnotic soundtrack, despite it having a seat reserved in my name.
Despite my tender years, the nonpareil performance of the formidable lead, Amitabh Bachchan, left an indelible impression on my young mind. Every move he made, every expression that graced his face, was etched in my memory, imprinting an image of a confident, self-assured being, untouchable in his prowess.
As the plot thickened, the exhilarating climax of the frenzy-thickened tale where the protagonist, Heera, administered a beating of biblical proportions to a horde of fearsome protagonists, evoked a debonair composure in the protagonist, a countenance bereft of any vulnerability, in stark contrast to the protagonist of my prior cinematic encounter.
All in all, my second cinematic indulgence had become a real eye-opener, striking a chord with my nascent self and fanning the flames of my imagination. The balletic amalgam of colourful choreography, resplendent melodies and thespian theatrics had effaced the ennui from my existence and left me yearning for more cinematic marvels- a feeling that persisted throughout my life into adulthood. It is a testament to the power of cinema to transport us to other worlds, other times, and make us feel alive; a legacy that lives on, year after year, drawing in audiences young and old, and leaving them with unforgettable memories.

The musical journey from originals to remakes!
By Shatakshi Saxena
The Golden Era of Bollywood music was home to legends like Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Manna Dey, Rajendra Kishan, Anand Bakshi, R.D Burman, Mohammad Rafi, Asha Bhosle and many more. Each song written and sung was a masterpiece, leaving a lifetime imprint on the listener’s heart. From ‘pal pal dil ke pass tum rehti ho’ to ‘dum maaro dum mitt jaye gham’, the unmatched music, the magical voice of legendary singers and the thoughtful scene setting made these songs the masterpieces they are. In the past decade, Bollywood has chosen to remake some of these old classics. The introduction of more peppy music, objectifying portrayal of actresses and mismatch between lyrics and context have made remakes a disaster. The iconic ‘Ek Chattur Naar’ sung by the maestros Manna Dey, Mehmood and Kishore Kumar is the finest song produced in Hindi cinema. The classical beats and comical lyrics add to the beauty of this song. The remake for this song was released in 2017 in the film Machine. The new version was nothing but too many peppy beats with elements of DJ and rap, filmed in a party setup. It is technically a spoilt hip-hop version of the most classic Bollywood song.
Original

Remake

Similarly, the famous ‘Mere Angne Mein’ sung by the living legend Amitabh Bachchan is still remembered for its lyrics and the drag performed by the Mr. Bachchan. The mood of song was very vintage and comical. It was just a week ago that the remake for this song was released by T-series, starring Jacqueline Fernandez and Asim Riaz and sung by Neha Kakkar and Raja Hasan. The remake completely changes the concept of the song and adds a more objectifying touch to it. It also finishes the comical aspect of the song, destroying its core identity.
Original:
youtube
Remake:

The remake of the iconic ‘Laila Mai Laila’ originally starring the glamorous Zeenat Aman lost its beauty when its remake was released in Raees (2017). The original was shot in a more sensible gathering with no objectification unlike the remake which portrays a cheap gathering of alcoholics, hooting with every objectifying move of Sunny Leone. The remake has been made the typical ‘Bollywood item number’ when originally it wasn’t the same. While Zeenat Aman added glamour to the original, the remake made it a point to be sexist in its approach. The objectification of Sunny Leone was a selling point for the makers. It was disrespecting towards women and the original track.
Songs like ‘Mere Angne Mein’, ‘Laila Mai Laila’, ‘Dum Maaro Dum’ and many more are classics for a reason. Creating new versions of such songs destroy the feel of the original, also highlighting the fact that Bollywood is unable to produce new songs! Old songs had an everlasting shelf life because of the lyrics, music and how contextual the songs were. The remakes destroy that very element; concept and music. Even though the lyrics remain the same, the song doesn’t sound good because it loses its essence. It is also an insult to the lyrics for their originality is severely affected.
For example, the remake of ‘Pal Pal Dil Ke Pass’, a classic romantic song sung by the legendary Kishore Kumar was released in the film Wajah Tum Ho (2016). This is possibly the best example of how the most beautiful lyrics can lose their essence when combined with irrelevant depiction and context. The lyrics were written around the concept of two lovers longing to meet each other. The original portrayal was absolutely simple, heart-warming and revolved around something as beautiful as love letters. The remake, without understanding the concept of the lyrics, made the song extremely sensual and objectifying. The depiction is completely different from the thought of the song and comes out as a disaster. It is one of those sensual songs made to sell the film. The lyrics of an amazing song have been misused in the worst manner.
Making remakes of songs is not a problem, if it is done with respect. One should realise that certain songs are fit for a particular scene and context. Also, not every song can be made peppy, objectifying or sexist to gain box office numbers. It is important for the new age music directors to understand the depth of old classic songs before destroying their quality. If Bollywood continues to make disastrous remakes like this, the future generations will never know about the original classics.
