Bindass

UTV Bindass

Last week we had a 2 hours session on Brand and Media by Kanika from Bindass TV. Initially, since it was related to Marketing, I really did not bother to go there on time (As it is, such events never start on time and I am one of the first non-committee members to reach there). Once I had evening snacks (Maggy in the evening after a long time), I met Subhransu and Pramukh who told me that there were not many people in Audi, so I decided that I will join them in the Audi. I reached there on time as Ridhima had just started session by informing the speaker about NITIE and B-Gyan.

The speaker was Kanika (don’t remember her post, might be VP) from UTV’s Bindass channel. I guess she handles the media department there. She was really amazing from the word go, interacting with us, asking us questions, people giving answers from Kotlar and then she simplifying them so that souls like could understand what was really going. She showed us few ads relating to campaigns targeting share of conversation rather than share of voice. If you are wondering what these 2 terms indicate then you would be disappointed (May be Rutuja might help), I don’t want to expose my Marketing knowledge. At the end she showed us an AV which is a campaign launched by Bindass recently. They surveyed the youth in major cities and tried to find out what being Bindass meant for them. It was interesting that the youth felt that being “Bindass” was taken as a negative thing by the previous generation. The above video is the same AV which shows that being Bindass doesn't mean that one takes drugs/ is not serious about his/her career.

I am really thankful to the B-Gyan team for bringing such a good speaker :)

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

शायरी

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 ....................
