...of men and moustaches!!
think about it, wouldn't the afore-mentioned title make a decent tagline for that timeless classic "golmaal?"
on a more poignant note, it's amazing how many pieces of dialogue and verses of songs penned by the master deem very appropriate, unfortunately, for his own sad demise. Hrishi da left us a couple of weeks ago, at 84, and one can't escape the melancholic irony of the themes that persisted through his amazing body of work... that of 'life in the face of adversity' and interesting variations of it.
To wit just a few... how bout "tum bin jeevan kaisa jeevan..." a lilting tune from melodious Manna de, or "... jaane bhi de aiye dil, sab ko mera salaam" a heart-breaking number from a soulful Kishore. In fact the whole of "main shaayar badnaam" seemed to have been written just for moments like this. And then how bout those parting words from that yet another great classic where Bachchan's voice booms over a stray baloon cut loose over an evening sky..."Anand mara nahin, Anand marte nahin". He couldn't have been more prophetic indeed.
What's your favorite(s) among Hrishi da's films? Mine's an obscure cult film, with Amitabh in lead, known more for a song by Yesudas... any guesses?

Hahahaha
That one, I know...b'cos I have the songs in the Anmol Ratan CD, by KJ.
It is pretty obscure though, if we are talking about "Alaap"
This is Sridhar, by the way
u bet it is. koi gaata... of course a person of your talents don't need no one to sing you to sleep. that's one thing you can manage pretty well n ur own...cheques and all!
My favourite is Golmaal... Chupke Chupke comes close behind. :-)
