Namaste! It is the moment before dawn and while the world sleeps let us go to the riverside to fill our kalash with sacred water and as we do so let us ponder on the magic and mystery of this life from where comes the light, who colours our sky, and from where comes the wind how does a seed grow into tree and a blossom turn into a flower from where does love come and whom do we love as we listen to the ripples of the river, let us together celebrate An Indian Morning.

She was the only nominee in the Best Actress category in 1963. In 1963, Meena Kumari made it very easy for the jury selecting the best actress at the Filmfare Awards. She was the only actress nominated in the category, for her performances in Abrar Alvi’s Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, Phani Majumdar’s Aarti and A Bhimsingh’s Main Chup Rahungi. The choice was between three fine performances, each one defined by Meena Kumari’s ability to depict deeply felt emotions and convey the pathos as well as the strength of her characters. In those days, there were three nominees in each category. In other words, she was already the winner. Meena Kumari was nominated for Aarti, in which her eponymous character is torn between her former lover and her husband. Aarti proves that few actresses embody conflict and the ensuing suffering as well as Meena Kumari. 04-KABHI TO MILEGI KAHIN TO MILEGI CD MISC-20230730 TRACK#04 3:04 AARTI-1962; LATA MANGESHKAR; ROSHAN; MAJROOH SULTANPURI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMZWtjM7Xa8 The second nomination was for Main Chup Rahungi, a remake of the Tamil weepie Kalathur Kannamma (1960), in which Kamal Haasan made his debut as a child actor. The original film starred Southern screen icon Savitri, and in a rare case of a performance in a remake matching the original, Meena Kumari wrung out tears as a woman who bears a child out of wedlock and ends up being his teacher years later. Meena Kumari managed to give her characters much dignity even in their suffering and this performance too is no exception. She matched Savithri’s superlative act with her own and gave Main Chup Rahungi most of its strength. The winner was Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, Abrar Alvi’s masterpiece about the long-suffering wife of a decadent aristocrat in pre-independent Bengal. Produced by Guru Dutt and also starring the filmmaker, Rehman and Waheeda Rehman, Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam counts as one of Meena Kumari’s most unforgettable movies alongside Kamal Amrohi’s Pakeezah (1972). Her character, known as Chhoti Bahu, embraces alcohol in a desperate attempt to get the attention of her wayward husband. Among the film’s highlights is the song Na Jao Saiyan, an ode to self-laceration rendered in dripping tones of sadness by Geeta Dutt. 05-NA JAON SAIYAAN CHHUDA KE BAIYAAN CD MISC-20230730 TRACK#05 3:46 SAHIB BIBI AUR GHULAM-1962; GEETA DUTT; HEMANT KUMAR; SHAKEEL BADAYUNI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCDbIT13MRY TAJA SUR-TAAL: 06-HAR HAR MAHADEV CD MISC-20230730 TRACK#06 2:52 OMG 2-2023; VIKRAM MONTROSE; VIKRAM MONTROSE; SHEKHAR ASTITWA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TrVaKSCUttU 97-ANTMEIN-SIGNOFF – 01:48 INSTRUMENTAL- PIYA AISO JIYA MEIN SAMAY GAYO RE-SAHIB BIBI AUR GHULAM-1962; ELECTRIC STEEL GUITAR; AMARNATH BANIK https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=loItBoLdVZU ---------------------------------------------------------- अंत मे छोटी सी बात ‘An Indian Morning’ की तरफसे: ---------------------------------------------------------- “The season of failure is the best time for sowing the seeds of success.” -Paramahansa Yogananda “असफलता का मौसम, सफलता के बीज बोने के लिए सर्वश्रेष्ठ समय होता है।” -परमहंस योगानंद ---------------------------------------------------------- हमारा आपके साथ आज यहीं तक का सफर था. तो चलिए आपसे अब हम विदा लेते है. अगली मुलाकात तक खुश रहिये, स्वस्थ रहिये और हाँ An Indian Morning पर हमसे मिलते रहिये. हंसते रहिये, क्योंकि हंसना निशुल्क है और एक सुलभ दवा है। Well, that's all the time we have with you today!
