Tesu (Palash) Ke Phool

Café Reminiscence

Recent business trip to Raipur/Bilaspur in Chhattisgarh was  good , moreover travelling in between small towns & seeing  kachhe ghar . Greenery , water ponds ( many found there)  , Seeing village men/women washing cloths on Pond /river steps ,boys diving ,Animals , Khet , is always enthralling.

Reason to blogpost this trip is Tesu , I was delighted to see lots of Tesu trees &  Holi season  is blooming time for Tesu , such a beautiful tree/flower , natural color/dye , having traditional value , as  dry Tesu flowers were being used to make colors for Holi .Tesu is also having literary value like Cactus ( liked by Poets)
.I heard there are good handicraft items are available , but was unable to get some due to time constraint.

Sparrow : Where have all the sparrows gone !!

Not at all seen in Mumbai , don't know why , where ?
Little bird ,Who's chirpy sound & presence every where including inside home , is no more now , world wide their population incl west is decreasing drastically , means something in environment or our lifestyle affecting them .
They are accurate in  forecasting rain , whenever a  sparrow bath with sand/soil , means definite rain.


Where , any idea , seen lots of pigeons , crows , even kite family  but ...

Aap ki nazron ney samjha : Anpadh

Aap ki nazron ney samjha : Anpadh

 Soft , memorable , romantic another Lata evergreen song.

I noticed Dharmendra is appearing in too many of my Flashbacks , his softer romantic ,not much known , talked side ( unfortunately) Bandini, Satyakam , Anupama , Anpadh etc.were such all great performances & he never tried to market himself as good actor & known mainly as an Action hero & good human being.

I am still searching for his golden speech @Filmfare Life time Achievement award function few yrs back.

Recently in KBC a female contestant told him that he is still the best looking & most handsome guy ever of Hindi Cinema.

I love recognizing the Charminar. The woman in the truck is incredibly beautiful. I wish her lover had caught the truck.

Bandini Climax scene :

Kaaaalyaniiiiii
She tried to call her back .
She said " Jailor  saheb se kahna muzhe maaf kar den "

It is amazing to see clips of this classic .
Too many elements for me to like, even movie was made before i was born.
Barefoot Kalyani  , SD Song  in background , ship/train whistle , u can also feel Dharmendra somewhere , if u know the movie.

Well described in you tube by

It is the last scene of Bandini movie. The director captured the brilliant mood of the film. The song "Mere Sajan Hai Uspar" comes from the hearts of both of the bereaved and suffered protagonists. The folklore beats along with the horn of the train and the ship are combined to make it a wonderful song. SD at his best!
