Aah dubbed into Tamil as Avan is my most favourite movie. I liked the songs so much I used to wait outside the 'Touring Talkies' in the town where we lived and listen to the songs. Here is one by Mukesh:
Raat andheri door savera.........

I am sure you are wondering about 'Touring Talkies'. Touring talkies is a large tent with the projector at one end the screen at the other end, as in regular thetres. It was enclosed by a fence made of coconut leaves. It was not soundproof. You could listen to the songs, but not see what was on the screen. That was fine for people who wanted to listen to the songs and dialogue. The area between the screen and the projector was divided into floor, bench and chair. Floor ticket was three and a half annas, bench five annas and chair ten annas. I was more interested in the songs and not the dialogue (nothing like Manohara and Parasakthi ! :) ) If I went to watch I would go for bench. If I went with friends it was floor, a thick layer of river sand. Of course standing outside the talkies for three hours takes some diversion. We used to get a glass of tea and a bun to earn the right to sit on the bench in the tea stall.
How things have changed in the last fifty or more years? Now you have music at your finger tips. I still have the 78 rpm records (called plates those days),33 rpm records, 45 rpm records, magnetic tape reels, audio cassettes, 8 track cartridges,CDs and DVDs, I collected from 1965. Someday I will store everything in a hard drive. When I catalog them I am likely to find some rare albums. I will share them with you!
Music at your finger tips? You never had it so easy! That was what I used tell my student in my introductory lecture on Digital Communications and othe related topics. That is right!

Have fun. I will post more from Aah.
I could not find the Tamil version - kaarirul neram kaalaiyo dhooram kaNNeer baaram nenjile.
Do Diwane is a very good and popular song those days. I think it is by Jaidev ji? Thanks vinatha.
rajraj sir, Very nice to read your touring talkies experience. :clap: Thanks for sharing. Also good to know that you still have your records. Please share any rare songs whenever you come across.
In my early days, the coconut leaves fence turned into concrete walls with still the roof was still made in bamboo sticks and palm/coconut tree leaves. Even there are many touring talkies I have seen the roof has changed to asbestos sheets (it will be so hot during summer). Normally we go to night shows so all we can feel cool breeze pass by while watching the films. Great place to watch the films. :D
rajraj sir is passionate.:)

That train with a steam engine always brings back memories of my train travel in India. I have gone around India a couple of times by train when I was a student- Madras to Calcutta, Calcutta to Kalka, Kalka to Simla by mountain railway, Delhi to Bombay and Bombay to Madras. It is an experience I would not want to miss if I could do it again. I was commuting to collge. Those days it was know as South Indian Railways(SIR), later changed to Southern Railways(SR). They had third class, intermediate class, second class and first class. I used to travel by third class during regular months with a three month season ticket costing eleven rupees and four annas. A couple of months before the examinations I would switch to Intermediate class paying twentytwo rupees and eight annas for three months. That was to make it easy for me to study while travelling. Whether I really studied is debatable! :lol:
Thanks vinatha and V_S. I was interested in music from my elementary school days! As they say, Tanjore soil (maN) and Kaveri water makes you musically inclined. Not sure how valid it is! :) But, we did live close to some great musicians! :)
That was a great one sir! Three months season ticket for 11 rupees wow! :lol: Train journey is always memorable, but yes steam train travel is more memorable with those unique sirens and sounds. Great song to carry your great college memories. Great to know about your music inclination and we have seen some of your musical shares and that speaks about your great taste in music! Please keep them coming!
Adana and Darbari Kanada are close and it is not unusual to mistake one for the other in some renditions.

About forty years back I was invited to attend a private concert by Pandit Jasraj and he sang this song. There is nothing like attending a private concert with 15 to 20 in the audience. It gives you the freedom to ask questions and learn more. He was very pleasant and kind.
V_S: Thanks. Tanjore soil and Kaveri water or not, I made sure the musical inclination continued in the family. All
my children(three sons) were exposed to music and encouraged to learn. All are violinists (Western Classical).
The youngest even formed his own string quartet when he was in high school. He also played viola in his college symphony. A couple of years back I learnt that music and mathematics are well related in child development. A child exposed to or interested in music does well in mathematics and vice versa. Not sure whether that has anything to do with the younger two becoming mathematicians! :) I am happy with that! :)
I wish the carnatic musicians took pains to put at least some carnatic compositions in western notation. Only Professor Sambamoorthi did some work in that area, translating some carnatic composition into western notation.
Have a good weekend! :)
A popular song from the fifties, Yeh zindagi usiki hai from Anarkali(1953):
