We won!!!

     I really don’t know who was lucky for whom, but three of us Rutuja, KK and I won the Arbit Presentation at JB’s Prayag’09. It was amazing how we pulled it off. To be honest, it was great creativity on the part of KK and Rutuja. Not that I was a “free rider” (a term Rutuja introduced me with earlier in the day), I was able to garner a decent performance of a drunken guy interrupting an Aarati, during the second round!!! All in all, maja aa gayee ;-)

For people who have known Ayre for ages, this might come as a shock, but he played the drunkard's role to the hilt!! Ekdum genuine tha :P

There were 3 rounds. In 1st round they showed us a pic, in 1 min we had to come up with a skit/song/speech.
Next round we got a song "Emotional Atyachar" along with its lyrics. We had to change lyrics/tune and make it funnier. We changed the tune to the Aarati "Sukhakarta Dukhaharta" and thats where my drunkard role came into play.
Final round was where we got a video with its audio removed. We got a scene from "Jane bhi do yaro". Credit goes to KK as he gave voice to Om Puri whereas Rutuja and I were giving him "background score".
The last round could have been better had the other teams performed better. There were scenes from MTV fully faltu, Andaz Apana Apana, Friends, Dil Chahat Hai.

Raja Shivchhatrapati Lyrics

इंद्र जिमि जंभ पर… बाडव सुअंभ पर… रावण सदंभ पर… रघुकुलराज है ! पौन बारिबाह पर… संभु रतिनाह पर… ज्यों सहसबाह पर… राम द्विजराज है ! उदरात माउली… रयतेस साउली… गडकोट राउळी… शिवशंकर हा मुक्तीची मंत्रणा… युक्तीची यंत्रणा… खल दुष्टदुर्जना… प्रलयंकर हा संतास रक्षितो… शत्रू निखंदतो… भावंडभावना… संस्थापितो ऐसा युगेयुगे… स्मरणीय सर्वदा… माता-पिता-सखा… शिवभूप तो दावा दृमदंड पर… चीता मृगझुंड पर… भूषन वितुंड पर… जैसे मृगराज है ! तेज तम‍ अंस पर… कान्ह जिमि कंस पर… त्यों मलिच्छ बंस पर… सेर सिवराज है ! जय भवानी, जय शिवाजी !   Thanks to Nik for sending this.

My Favorite Song

I always loved marathi songs. Be it the usual film songs, or the ever spiritual bhakitgeet. I am great fan of Vasant Bahar (the collection songs by Vasant Desai, Vasnt Prabhu and Vasant Deshpande). But all these songs were recorded in older times, before the 80s. In fact there were not many songs from the 90s which were really great. The emphasis was more on Comedy and the music paid for this. In fact there were songs which were "combo" songs containing the marathi versions of many popular hindi songs. Post Shwas era however has been much more encouraging. There were some amazing numbers like Radha hi Bawari, Man Udhan Varyache, Malhar vari and more. The song which I am going to mention here was an special addition  to the "Aga Bai Arechya.." audio CD. It was got the modern touch which I think is essential for Marathi songs if they really want to compete against the Hindi or Punjabi songs.  Sung by Swapnil Bandodkar, this one is at the top of my favorite songs list

कुछ बिखरे सपने और आँखों में नमी है, एक छोटा सा आसमां और उम्मीन्दों की ज़मीं है, यूँ तो बहुत दोस्त है ज़िन्दगी मैं, पर जो खास है वाही पास नहीं है ....................
