Biography --

Zakir was sixteen when he moved from New Delhi to New York City hoping to find a richer more full-filling life there. He hoped to become a famous rapper. He grew up the oldest son of a Muslim and Hindu couple, with little prospect in life other than continue his father's business. His uncle - a friend of his father rather than his actual uncle - told him stories of America, of New York City, and the American Dream.

He got into crime because he needed funds and connections to gain his fame. He's known for making songs in which he fluently meshes languages and meanings together, rapping under the alias Baagee. However, a lot of his time is spent translating for Dead Hand or using his understanding of languages to decipher coded messages.

He's been releasing songs steadily during the past five years, and has been an official associate of Dead Hand for three years.

Timeline

Headcanons --

He's a polyglot; he speaks multiple languages and easily picks up new ones. Currently he's learning Portuguese, Mandarin & Bahasa Malay. He's however always interested in learning more.

He addresses anyone his age with either habibi/habibti ( ‘my dear’ or 'my love’ in Arabic ) or bhai/bhen ( 'brother’/'sister' in Hindi / Indic language ), and anyone older than him as auntie or uncle. Does this consistently and with respect.

Despite his mastery of languages, Zakir still has a distinct accent when speaking in Russian, English or Spanish.

He produces his own music.

He's a romantic, friendly and charming, and a little afraid of violence. Will always portray the role of a diplomat in a conflict.

Zakir was raised in a Muslim and Hindu household, though neither him nor his siblings got much of a choice which religion they wanted to follow. As a result he still follows a lot of rules from Islam and participates in all its religious days, including Ramadan.

He doesn't drink or smoke - though he on occasion uses the drugs available at El Anhelo, and has his way to say why those aren't as bad.

He has an augmentation in his eyes, installed just before he moved to the United States by a street engineer. Because it was a prototype, he's had to get it checked out several times. It essentially works as a video camera: he can zoom in, zoom out, rewind, slow down, and speed up. As well as choose to save certain moments to his phone to view later. Because his eyes are more sensitive now, he wears sunglasses or tinted glasses almost all the time.

wanted and established connection can be found here.

Slang --

Some slang Zakir might use and its meaning:

Yaar: friend/buddy/dude, addressing someone.

Arre yaar: addressing someone while expressing disappointment, surprise, or frustration.

Mashallah: 'God has willed it'

Inshallah: 'if God wills'

Wallah: 'I swear', said very often, presume Zakir never lies when he says this, as it's a sin.

Yallah/Chalo/Vamonos: Let's go!

Alhamdulillah: 'Praise to God'

Subhanallah: 'Glory to God'

Māśūqa: sweetheart, used for Anchali

Chai: Zakir never says tea

Jhakaas: Awesome!

How Divya Kumar Balances Heritage and Innovation in Music

In the glittering world of Bollywood music, where innovation and tradition collide, few voices stand out like Divya Kumar. His dynamic range and emotive delivery have earned him a place among the industry’s elite playback singers. With roots firmly planted in a rich musical heritage and an eagerness to embrace contemporary styles, Divya Kumar has redefined the role of a playback singer in Bollywood. This article delves into his inspiring journey, musical accomplishments, and the indelible mark he has left on Indian cinema.

A Musical Legacy: Early Life and Influences

Divya Kumar was born into a family steeped in music. His grandfather, Pandit Shivram, was a celebrated composer in Indian cinema, having worked on iconic films during the golden age of Bollywood. His father, Bhagwan Shivram, made a name for himself as a percussionist in the Gujarati film industry. Growing up in this musically charged environment, Divya was exposed to the nuances of rhythm, melody, and harmony from an early age.

Despite this legacy, Divya’s journey to stardom was not without challenges. He recalls his parents’ insistence on formal education before venturing into music professionally. This insistence on discipline and hard work would later shape his approach to his craft. Divya’s early exposure to classical music formed the backbone of his versatile vocal style, allowing him to experiment with different genres effortlessly.

The Road to Bollywood: Persistence Pays Off

Breaking into Bollywood as a playback singer is no small feat, even for someone with Divya’s background. His journey began with numerous auditions and small projects that often went unnoticed. However, his persistence paid off when he landed his breakthrough song, “Shubhaarambh”, from the critically acclaimed film Kai Po Che! in 2013.

“Shubhaarambh” was a game-changer. The song, with its traditional Gujarati flavor and festive energy, showcased Divya’s ability to deliver a culturally rooted yet universally appealing performance. It quickly became a favorite for weddings and celebrations, cementing his place in Bollywood. This success was not just about the song’s popularity but also about how Divya’s voice resonated with audiences, earning him recognition for his unique vocal timbre.

Defining Versatility: A Voice for Every Genre

One of Divya Kumar’s most remarkable qualities is his versatility. Unlike singers who are often typecast into specific genres, Divya has proven his mettle across a wide spectrum of musical styles. From high-energy dance numbers to soulful romantic ballads, he has done it all with aplomb.

Energetic Anthems: Songs like “Jee Karda” from Badlapur showcase Divya’s ability to infuse raw energy into a track. His powerful delivery elevates the song’s intensity, making it an instant favorite among fans of adrenaline-pumping music.

Romantic Melodies: Tracks like “Sun Saathiya” from ABCD 2 reveal a softer, more emotive side to his voice. The song’s delicate nuances and heartfelt delivery underline his adaptability.

Folk-Inspired Tracks: Songs like “Hawan Kund” highlight Divya’s ability to draw from his classical roots and infuse traditional elements into modern compositions.

This adaptability has made him a favorite among leading Bollywood composers such as Amit Trivedi, Sachin-Jigar, and Pritam. Each collaboration has added new dimensions to his repertoire, showcasing his willingness to experiment and grow as an artist.

Beyond Bollywood: Expanding Horizons

While Bollywood remains his primary domain, Divya Kumar has not limited himself to playback singing for films. He has also explored live performances, regional music, and independent projects. His concerts are known for their high-energy renditions and his ability to connect with the audience, whether performing a Bollywood hit or a lesser-known folk song.

Divya’s forays into regional music, particularly Gujarati and Marathi songs, reflect his commitment to keeping India’s diverse musical traditions alive. His work in these languages underscores his versatility and his dedication to exploring music beyond the mainstream.

Digital Presence and Fan Engagement

In the age of social media, an artist’s online presence is as important as their offline work. Divya Kumar understands this dynamic well. He frequently interacts with fans on platforms like Instagram and Twitter, sharing glimpses of his personal life, behind-the-scenes moments, and updates on upcoming projects.

This active engagement has helped him cultivate a loyal fan base that transcends geographic and linguistic boundaries. His approachable personality and willingness to connect with fans have made him a beloved figure not just in India but among global audiences who follow Bollywood music.

Lessons from Divya Kumar’s Journey

Divya Kumar’s career offers invaluable lessons for aspiring musicians:

Stay True to Your Roots: His grounding in classical music has given him the foundation to explore a wide range of genres without losing his authenticity.

Adapt and Innovate: Divya’s ability to experiment with different styles has made him a versatile and in-demand singer.

Persistence is Key: His initial struggles underscore the importance of perseverance in the face of rejection.

Engage with Your Audience: His proactive approach to fan engagement has played a crucial role in sustaining his popularity.

Conclusion

Divya Kumar rise to fame is a story of talent, determination, and adaptability. From his traditional roots to his innovative approach to music, he has set new benchmarks in Bollywood playback singing. His ability to transcend genres and connect with audiences is a testament to his artistry and dedication.

Regional Music Availability on JioSaavn vs Spotify: Which Has More?

India's diverse musical heritage and language variety make regional music an essential aspect of music streaming services. For many users, the choice of a streaming platform often hinges on its ability to offer a vast selection of regional songs, from Tamil and Telugu hits to Punjabi beats and Marathi folk music. JioSaavn and Spotify, two leading streaming platforms in India, recognize the importance of regional music in appealing to a broader audience, but they each bring different strengths to the table. This article dives into the "JioSaavn vs Spotify" debate, focusing specifically on which platform best caters to India’s regional music audience and helps listeners connect with local artists and songs.

1. Regional Music Catalog: JioSaavn’s Focus vs. Spotify’s Expansion

JioSaavn has established itself as a regional music powerhouse. As a homegrown streaming platform with deep roots in the Indian music industry, JioSaavn has formed partnerships with multiple regional labels and artists, creating an extensive library of songs in various Indian languages. Its catalog covers a range of languages, including Hindi, Tamil, Telugu, Punjabi, Kannada, Bengali, Gujarati, Marathi, Malayalam, and Bhojpuri, catering to listeners across India.

Spotify entered the Indian market in 2019 and initially focused on international and Bollywood content. However, in recent years, Spotify has recognized the value of regional music in India and has made significant investments in expanding its catalog to include regional tracks. Today, it offers a diverse library with songs in languages such as Hindi, Punjabi, Tamil, and Telugu, though it still lacks some of the depth in regional music that JioSaavn provides.

2. Curation of Regional Playlists

Both platforms understand that playlists are powerful tools for music discovery, and they have developed various curated playlists to enhance the user experience. JioSaavn has an extensive selection of regional playlists, many of which are updated regularly to reflect the latest hits. It provides genre-based playlists within each language category, such as Tamil Love Songs, Punjabi Beats, Telugu Blockbusters, and Bengali Classics, ensuring that users can easily find music that suits their mood and preferences.

Spotify has also increased its focus on regional playlists in recent years, but it takes a different approach to curation. Spotify’s playlists like “Desi Hits,” “Top Hits Tamil,” and “Punjabi 101” combine both mainstream Bollywood hits and regional tracks, making it easy for listeners to discover songs in multiple languages without having to search by language alone. Additionally, Spotify’s personalized playlists, such as “Daily Mix” and “Discover Weekly,” often include regional tracks for users who show an interest in Indian music. While Spotify’s approach to regional music curation is broader, JioSaavn’s playlist structure is more targeted, catering directly to each language and genre within the Indian music scene.

3. Regional Language Integration and User Experience

JioSaavn’s focus on regional music extends beyond its catalog, as the app itself is designed with an Indian audience in mind. Its user interface (UI) highlights popular regional genres and languages on the home screen, allowing users to jump directly into their preferred regional language categories. This is especially helpful for older users or those new to digital music platforms who may find language-specific navigation essential.

Spotify, being an international app, has a more generalized approach in its interface. However, it has started to cater to Indian audiences by offering language options and regional playlists prominently on the app’s homepage. In recent updates, Spotify has also introduced a Hindi language interface, which allows users to navigate the app in Hindi. While Spotify’s interface may lack the cultural specificity found in JioSaavn, it is still accessible for users looking for regional music, especially if they are familiar with the app’s navigation.

4. Collaborations with Regional Artists and Exclusive Releases

JioSaavn’s position as an Indian platform gives it an advantage when collaborating with regional artists. Through partnerships with Indian labels and emerging talent, JioSaavn regularly features exclusive releases, new albums, and regional hits. Many up-and-coming Indian artists launch their music on JioSaavn first, and the platform often promotes these artists through exclusive playlists and recommendations. This gives users the opportunity to discover the latest regional hits before they are available on other platforms.

Spotify, though relatively new to India, has made strides in supporting regional artists. With initiatives like Spotify RADAR, which highlights emerging talent worldwide, and the creation of playlists such as “Radar India,” the platform is making efforts to promote Indian artists. However, Spotify’s emphasis is often on more mainstream and international-friendly regional tracks, which can sometimes limit its offerings compared to JioSaavn’s expansive catalog of local talent and exclusives.

5. User Perception and Regional Popularity

The popularity of JioSaavn and Spotify within the regional music space varies across India. For listeners who prioritize a more India-centric experience, JioSaavn is frequently the preferred choice, largely due to its strong association with Indian music and greater language-specific content. Many Indian users report that they find JioSaavn better suited to their music needs, particularly for language-dedicated playlists and artist recommendations.

Spotify has a reputation for its algorithm-driven recommendations and playlist curation, which some users find beneficial when exploring both regional and international music. While Spotify may not have the same level of regional integration as JioSaavn, its personalized playlists offer users a good mix of Bollywood, regional, and Western hits based on their listening history, which many listeners enjoy for its diverse appeal.

6. Comparing Offline Mode and Accessibility for Regional Music

For many listeners in India, offline mode is crucial to enjoy music without interruption in areas with poor connectivity. Both JioSaavn and Spotify offer offline downloads to premium users, allowing users to save songs, playlists, and albums for offline listening. In JioSaavn, offline access includes all regional music content, and users can download songs in high quality without limitations. This feature is especially useful for rural users or those with limited data access who prioritize regional music.

Spotify also provides offline access to its entire catalog, including regional songs. However, the quality of regional content might vary, as some regional tracks are not available in high-definition audio. Despite this, Spotify’s offline functionality is smooth and easy to use, making it a strong competitor in the offline accessibility space. For listeners specifically focused on regional music, JioSaavn’s broad catalog and data-efficient offline downloads make it a more convenient choice.

7. Algorithm-Driven Regional Music Recommendations

Spotify is known for its algorithm-driven recommendations, which include personalized playlists like “Discover Weekly” and “Daily Mix.” These playlists adapt to the user’s music preferences, so users who frequently listen to regional music will likely see a good mix of their preferred regional tracks alongside popular global hits. Spotify’s data-driven recommendations are a highlight for users who appreciate a mix of curated and algorithmically recommended songs.

JioSaavn also offers music recommendations, but its focus is more on curating playlists than relying solely on algorithms. While JioSaavn does suggest songs based on user history, it emphasizes regional playlists curated by experts, making it more suitable for users who prefer handpicked music over algorithm-driven playlists. This curated approach aligns with JioSaavn’s commitment to promoting Indian and regional music while meeting local tastes.

Conclusion In the “JioSaavn vs Spotify” debate around regional music, each platform offers unique advantages. JioSaavn’s regional music focus, language-specific playlists, and strong partnerships with local artists make it a prime choice for Indian listeners who want easy access to a wide array of regional music. Spotify, with its international influence and innovative algorithm-driven playlists, brings a different appeal, offering regional music along with a rich catalog of global songs. For users who prioritize regional music and cultural relevance, JioSaavn is an excellent choice, while Spotify remains a strong option for those who enjoy a mix of local and international hits. Ultimately, the best choice between JioSaavn and Spotify will depend on individual music preferences and how strongly users value regional language diversity in their streaming experience.

Sanskrit's Influence on the Hindi Language

Sanskrit is often considered the oldest language in the world. Sanskrit has survived for 5000 years in both oral and written form. It comes under the Indo-European family of languages. Interestingly, Sanskrit has given rise to many modern Indian languages. Hindi and other regional languages find their origins in this ancient tongue. It is interesting to explore the relationship between modern Hindi and ancient Sanskrit.

Historical Context

Sanskrit’s first written record dates back to 1500 BC. According to oral traditions, the language can be as old as 5000 years. On the other hand, Hindi is only 200 years old. Hindi was developed as an official common language by Bharatendu Harishchandra during the British Raj. Indians wanted an official language of correspondence without the Persian influence of Urdu. Thus, Hindi was created from the classical Hindustani after subtracting major Persian words.

Linguistic Influence

Any Sanskrit language course will tell you about its linguistic influence on languages like Marathi, Kannada, Gujarati, and Awadhi. Such languages have many words whose roots are Sanskrit words. The same is the case for Hindi. For example, the Sanskrit word ‘nidra’ is the root of the Hindi word ‘nind’. Similarly, we have root words for brother, mother, tree, fig, lion, etc. in Sanskrit. You will find thousands of such words in a Sanskrit dictionary.

Cultural Impact

Sanskrit has also influenced Indian culture a lot. Many Bollywood songs and theatre plays have their origin in Sanskrit literature. Bollywood movies also have references to Sanskrit epics like Ramayana and Mahabharata. Hindi philosophers also use these references in their debates. You will come across many Hindi poems and prose that refer to these characters to add context in the situation.

Modern Relevance

Sanskrit still commands great respect in literary circles. Although an extinct language, there have been attempts to revive it. The language continues to influence Hindi literature and vocabulary even today. Hindi language courses will teach you to coin new words to keep up with scientific inventions. Such words always use Sanskrit roots. ‘Antariksh yatri’ is Hindi for astronaut. It has Sanskrit roots.

Sanskrit's enduring influence on Hindi is undeniable. It enriches its vocabulary, grammar, and cultural context. Sanskrit continues to shape modern Hindi despite being an ancient language. It is demonstrating the timelessness and adaptability of its linguistic legacy. The relationship between the two languages remains a fascinating area of study and appreciation.

THE FILM 'TIS BELIEVED….NO, 'TIS KNOWN…GOD HERSELF MOTHERED & NURTURED FOR MORE THAN A YEAR….IN INDIAN THEATERS ! …… - THE STORY OF THE ONLY INDIAN FILM THAT'S ON SEVERAL POLICE RECORDS, FOR HAVING CREATED A SERIOUS LAW & ORDER PROBLEM ACROSS THE LENGTH & BREADTH OF INDIA ! …….. - HOW A FILM LITERALLY MADE ON STARVATION BUDGET, BECAME THE 10TH MOST MONETARILY SUCCESSFUL FILM IN INDIAN HISTORY! ………. - THE ONE MOVIE THAT REACHED THE HEIGHTS OF 'MOVIE DHAM' ! …….. - THE FILM THAT ANNOUNCED ADVENT OF A NEW GOD ON PLANET EARTH ! - “JAISA GANESH, VAISI USKI BETI!” … - THE STORY OF THE UNPRECEDENTED, UNPARALLELED, & HISTORIC BOX-OFFICE SUCCESS OF 'JAI SANTOSHI MAA' !

Film actor Ashish Kumar & his actress wife Bela Bose were happily married for a while yet childless. Among the many 'totkas' women adopt, she also came up with one such desire to follow a once-a-week 16 week 'fasting' pattern for the Goddess Santoshi, that was recommended to her. And within a few weeks of this fast, she conceived & bore a child! Some time elapsed, & Ashish on one of his many story sittings, in a general chat happened to mention this miraculous feat to his producer friend, Satram Rohara. Satram heard it, & jumped up, for he too had exactly the same story to tell with his own wife! So moved were they, that decided to make a film tributing Goddess Santoshi. Despite knowing how mythos despite being a safe commission earning bet thru 30s-60s, were surefire b.o flops. in mid 70s. Anita Guha who'd made a name for herself as mytho queen way back in 60s, but long retired, was chosen for the Goddess's role & a famous Gujarati & Bhojpuri heroine Kanan Kaushal as the leading lady, Music Dir & Playbacks too being the supposed B-rung of then. All this supposed 'sidie' line-up you see, for they knew how this film was doomed to lose money, yet that they just had to make to thank the Lord! … But something interesting started happening as the film was being made. The songs that were coming to the sets from the studios, were far superior than what anyone'd bargained for! Much that huge crowds began gathering around the area it was being filmed just to hear them! This level of live support heightened excitement among the crew, much that began working super efficiently to complete it well. Now to the next sequence of events..This buzz affected Anita ji on her first day too, who in her earnestness it turns out forgets to have breakfast, & while trying to learn her next set of heavy-duty lines, misses lunch too. When producer organizes a buffet dinner for all at night, Anita ji who was available for just a few days, & had to shoot post dinner too, realizes this might entail removing all her make-up & re-applying it, & to avoid all that fuss, decides to skip dinner as well. On her way home, a thot strikes her! - This was the first time in all her working yrs this'd happened..& what if it was a sign from God! At that very moment she decides to observe a fast for all her days of shoot on this film! & Thus the film very amiable & efficiently gets to verge of completion. But another, it seems important part of The Good Lord's plan was yet to take it's position.

Edward Theaters at Marine Lines was historically known for only showing re-runs of decades old Hindi films. But when it's owner heard that a film by name 'Jai Santoshi Maa' was being readied for theatrical release, & with just 14 prints, he strangely volunteered to be the first to release it in his theater, the only time over it's 110 yr existence, something like this 'tis known to've done!..need it be said, to thank the sweet Goddess himself. Now Edwards was unique for showing some of the lowest-priced films anywhere, thus causing many villagers on daily wage trips to Mumbai frequenting it at evenings. The film's released, but as expected you know, earns Rs. 56 across it's 14 prints in 1st show, Rs. 64 in 2nd, Rs. 92 in 3rd, & Rs. 100 in last. This roughly carries on Friday, Saturday & Sunday. Makers know its a flop, yet happy at having done their duty.

NOW COMES MONDAY…AND THE MIRACLE IS AFOOT! You see many of the villagers who'd seen the film at Edwards, each go to their resp villages, & make mention of this lovely film on Goddess Santoshi they've just seen..TO THEIR LADIES! AND MADNESS BEGINS! It seems Goddess Santoshi, not a very popular Goddess in India then, had bestowed her blessings on many families sporadically across India, incl very many villages. And many ladies of almost every village were her quiet yet ardent devotees. And they began coaxing their hubbies & families to collectively make a trip to Mumbai, & watch their Goddess on screen! People tell of how that Monday saw endless streams of bullock carts from every conceivable (pun intended I guess) village of Maharashtra entering Mumbai to watch this one film alone! Media ofcourse gets to hear of it, & flashes it on front pages the next day! BY TUESDAY, WHOLE OF INDIA KNOWS 'JAI SANTOSHI MAA' IS RUNNING IN MUMBAI, & STARTS PLANNING A TRIP! Similar stories emerge of 100's of villages emptying out to reach nearest cinema halls, even 100s of kms away! Police across all states are out on high alert..A UNCONSCIOUS MASS MIGRATION IS BEING SEEN ACROSS INDIA ALL AT ONCE! Producers are sent urgent calls, not just from distributors & exhibitors, but law enforcement, to send more prints! How many?? As many as you can..300-400! "WE DON'T WANT RIOTS!" "But this will cost atleast 30 lakhs" .. "Beg, borrow, steal..but do this for your nation". 600 PRINTS ARE RELEASED! THE RETURNS? …. 208 TIMES OVER PRODUCTION & PUBLICITY COST (PER RECORDS..THE ONLY TIME EVER IN HISTORY! WE TODAY INFLATION-ADJUSTED ESTIMATE 'JAI SANTOSHI MAA' AS HAVING EARNED RS. 3,120 CRORES AT THE INDIAN BOX OFFICE!

TILL TODAY REGARDED AS THE 10TH & 22ND MOST MONETARILY SUCCESSFUL (IE BIGGEST BLOCKBUSTER) FILM OF INDIAN & WORLD CINEMA RESPECTIVELY!

What you just heard was public record. What you're about to hear next, is nothing short of real-life mythology in itself.

Women not just from villages but also small & bigger towns, started making visits to this film a near daily event. The cottage tourism industry starts picking up all of sudden, for the now routine mass bookings made by kitty parties across India, to their nearest 'Santoshi Maa Theaters'.

What starts drawing interest next, is not the repeat & mass value of this film, but the manner of visitation. Women & even men, in their millions, started bringing flowers, fruits & even sweets along, males generally entrusted with the 'prasad' distribution duties to every visitor as exited the film, while women left to their 'prayers' inside the hall, once each & every song began, taking turns in groups to come to the space at the front, in their hundreds, with none of the admin staff daring to stop any! Reason being, what'd happen next! - You see each of the ladies after their flower & fruit sacrifices, would also generously remove their coin-wallets from inside of their blouses, all coins to be thrown as forcefully as could so to veritably touch the silver screens!- the farther the more blissed & more blessed..& all this money btw meant for that cinema staff alone ! (Many of who's families that owe their decent prosperity till today to this one film) Paid shoe stalls now started privately springing up outside many theaters..for how wear footwear be spending half your time praying & singing Lord's praise at! Hey, temples too built in places where open lands across halls! Now in all this euphoria, we've almost forgotten Santoshi Maa, I mean Anita ji herself! .. People leaving cinema halls, be all so taken, began craving a personal 'darshan' of that image for real. And Anita Guha's Bandra house soon became public knowledge, people first watching the film, next making their way to below her house! Anita ji herself recounts umpteen stories of women throwing their new borns into her arms, as left home each day! Anita Guha,mind u,was ranked among Top 10 Heroines of 1950s & Top 5-6 of 1960s. Yet remembered by most post 70s only as 'Santoshi Maa'! THAT'S LIFE! ..WONDERFUL!

'JAI SANTOSHI MAA' RAN MORE THAN A YEAR & CELEBRATED A MOST UNFORGETTABLE GOLDEN JUBILEE AT ALL CINEMA HALLS IT RAN ON!

& AS TRIBUTE TO THE ONE FILM THAT CHANGED THEIR LIVES, EDWARDS & MANY MUMBAI THEATERS ~50 YRS ON, KEEP MEMENTOS OF IT'S 50TH WEEK RUN TILL TODAY… MARKING THE ONE YEAR, GOD CAME TO LIVE WITH THEM!

And just as inauspicious & bad events have their aftermaths, greatest events leave their aftermaths too!

Here's recounting some of them:

See as news of this unbelievable level of mass hysteria & success were naturally going to cross all borders, also reached leading & most renowned sociological researchers around the world, incl leading world historian Michael Brand, Prof John Hawley of Barnard College, Columbia Univ, Prof Cathleen Arnold of Florida State Univ, Prof Philip Lutgendorf of Iowa Univ, famous writer Stanley Kurtz, & many other leading historians & international journalists of the times, who all came to India, conducted several interviews across the board, collectively pooled their heads to try make sense of this most unique phenomena they'd just witnessed..and alongside Indian sociologists like Veena Das, published their own research papers on it! The only other time sociologists have been known to enter the film arena for wide-scale research, was to deconstruct Rajesh Khanna's magical 2 decade reign over Bollywood, again from India!

2. The culture of fasting in name of Maa Santoshi, that began after this film, continues as c/f tradition till today across India.

3. There was a practice of writing 'Om Shubh Labh' atop letters till then. That was soon replaced enmasse by "Jai Santoshi Maa!"

4. A new, slightly devious side-culture/biz of sending Santoshi Maa's 16-chain postcards sprang up,to maximize blessings…& POSTCARD SECTION OF INDIA'S POSTAL SERVICE SHUT DOWN, FOR PAUCITY OF RESOURCES!

5. Only time ever, a full LP of a mythological film was released worldwide by music cos!

6. Now to makers- Producer Satram Rohara & Distributor Kedarnath Agarwal, both went bankrupt, Satram people say for no favorable profit-sharing contract with Dist at time of release, & Distr in turn being duped by own brothers. Film's leading light,Anita Guha,too didn't exactly meet most peaceful end-suffering heart ailment & leucoderma (skin whitening), she would die in her old age unwilling to be seen w/o make-up. People say,atleast first 2 suffered for promising temples on Maa yet failing to build,yet most believe Good Goddess actually fast-tracked karmas of all it's makers,a great blessing in disguise!

7. Ganesh's daughter didn't have many sites in India till then..but everything would change post 1975, & Santoshi Maa temples became regular feature of every city & town!

8. & WE NOW KNOW FIRST-HAND..HOW GOD WORKS TO ESTABLISH HIS OR HER KINGDOM, WHEN SEES FIT!

ZAKIR SETHUPATHI

nickname; baagee ( rebel in Hindi ) // age; 27 years old - january 8th 1972 // gender/pronouns; cis-man, he/him // occupation; rapper/associate // protected by sawayama // from new delhi, india

quick summary;

Zakir was born in New Delhi, India to a Muslim father and a Hindu mother. The preasure was always on, growing up. To get the highest marks at school, to be the perfect son. Zakir excelled in very little aside from languages. And as a darker skinned brown kid, he was at the mercy of his peers constantly. His uncle, a delhi businessman, travelled often to the USA, and brought back cassettes filled with hip-hop music for his nephews; Zakir and his three younger brothers. Unlike his brothers, Zakir grew obsessed with it. He'd written poetry all his life, and here was something that put poetry to music. Only a month before he turned eighteen, Zakir immigrated to New York City, to the city where hip-hop was born. He'd always thought that these kids were similar to him, facing the same struggles because of the colour of their skin. Reality hit him only a few months into trying to make a name for himself. He continued his attempt at doing exactly what everyone around him was doing, until he realised he was lacking in two things; originality and money. He started working for the Sawayama organisation as an interpreter and translator, able to switch quickly between languages. And this too he began using in his music.

personality;

Zakir has sculpted a personality for himself that he uses when in public, going by his stage name Baagee, meaning rebel in Hindi, he is all suave and charming. He's loose and easy to talk to, will spark up conversations with anyone, and isn't afraid to talk about his passion and his talents. He comes off as loving expensive things, beautiful women, and fast cars, while switching between languages at the drop of a head to impress people.

In the company of friends however, Zakir is much more anxious and reserved. He tends to say fewer words and gives more meaning to gestures and non-verbal communication. He's a romantic at heart, always looking for genuine love from others, and always worried about distorting this image of the suave rapper. He's especially worried of the outside world learning of his bisexuality, after all, a rapper is supposed to be seen with a woman at his side, not another man.

head canons;

Zakir is a polyglot, he was quick to pick up new languages in his youth and has mastered several, while always picking up new ones. At current he's fluent in Hindi, English, Russian, Urdu, and Arabic. While being able to understand and convey a general message in Spanish, Gujarati, and Japanese. And learning Mandarin and Portuguese.

He always wears glasses, most often sunglasses.

Can often be seen scribbling down new ideas in his notebook; sentences he hears that would work good in a song, concepts that would make for good songs, little poems, and quotes from people around him.

He addresses anyone his age with either habibi ( 'my dear' or 'my love' in Arabic ) or bhai ( 'brother' in Hindi / Indic language ), and anyone older than him as auntie or uncle. Does this consistently and with respect.

Despite his mastery of languages, Zakir still has a distinct accent when speaking in Russian, English or Spanish.

wanted;
