I don't entirely blame our generation for making fun of Dev Saab.. in a way he has become his own caricature. But if one pauses and dwells over the tremendous perseverence the man displays one cannot help being amazed. 342550@desicritics.org Mon, 6 Oct 2008 21:16:35 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/09/28/003610.php#comment-342315 Dear, You simply have the gift of the pen. A remarkable note, which describes the spirit of a remarkable man. Someone who is ridiculed, caricatured and lampooned by our generation. I myself am a great fan Dev A, but have in the recent past started admiring his spirit and never say attitude which I hope becomes contagious, for the betterment of the society. regds RS 342315@desicritics.org Thu, 2 Oct 2008 03:38:24 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/09/28/003610.php#comment-342182 Thanks as usual temporal for your feedback. I read about the demise of Mahendra Kapoor. Even though he could never rise out of the shadow of being a Rafi clone, he has some memorable songs to his name. With his passing away we have only Manna Dey left from the pool of male singers from the golden era. Here are links to two favourites of mine from MK's ouevre Lakhon hain yahan dilwale par pyar nahin milta http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lzqA4kjBHK8 This is a OP Nayyer beauty. Don't think of Rafi and you'll enjoy the song, and yes try if you can to view Biswajeet's antics as amusing :) Shymal Shymal Baran http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IAcYLxzwavw This is from V Shantaram's Navrang. MK for C Ramachandra a very different and if I may add delectable side to his singing RIP Mahendra Kapoor. 342182@desicritics.org Mon, 29 Sep 2008 11:41:44 EDT http://desicritics.org/2008/09/28/003610.php#comment-342149 ritu: heartfelt tribute... on a sad note: <blockquote>Playback singer Mahendra Kapoor, among the handful of singers who dominated the golden age of Hindi film music, passed away following a cardiac arrest at his Bandra residence on Saturday evening. Kapoor, best known for his patriotic songs like Meri Desh Ki Dharti, was 74. The funeral will be held at 11.00am on Sunday at the Santa Cruz (West) crematorium.</blockquote> <i>Chalo ik baar phir say ajnabee bun jaiN hum dOno</i> 342149@desicritics.org Sun, 28 Sep 2008 21:38:21 EDT
