One of the few positive outcomes of having a blocked nose on a semi-permanent basis is that the danger of me being asked to croon "Oooo Huzuur/Teraa Teraa Teraa Suruuuur" is slight. However, I can report the following note of interest. Notice how the linesMeri baate.n\are tuned very similar to
meri saa.nse.n\
tanhaa raate.n
chho.Do chho.Do\a.k.a the song Disco Station from "Hathkadi" (starring Reena Roy IIRC)?

Though given his track record, I'm willing to give Himesh R the benefit of the doubt. To his credit, one has to say that people seem to like his music and though he's milking the udders dry as a result in his leather jacket, baseball cap and doleful palette of expressions, good luck to him while it lasts.
On a closing note, let me record my disappointment that Himesh's nose wasn't awarded the Filmfare R.D.Burman Award for Upcoming Musical Talent.

given his track record? oh! you mean of not having as many filches as the other "original" mu[sic] directors around? perhaps. I've had strong waves of déjà when listening to the dude's tunes -- echoes of riffs from old S-J, L-P even RDB songs ... and then some. aadat ho chukii from Koi Aap Sa had an uncomfortable ghost of NFAK's aaafriin aafriin (hope I have that spelling right). While others like Anu Malik and Pritam lift in buckets, this guy prefers a mug ... and an ugly one it is.
one advantage of living in B'bay is access to all those amazing taboids. So the mirror informs me that Mr. HR (pun unintended, forward to Udas) is slated to undergo a 'Nasal Surgery' as he has a problem with Polyps in the hs nose. Now, now we acn;t get too critical can we, after all it was only a bunch of 'whatever-biological-category' in his nose.
damn! I know I'm a sitting duck. the Mirror reveals that the whole news was an Arpil Fools' hoax. and we thought there was hope left in the world, sob, sob..
Disco steheshan Disco!
Do you remember Reena Roy in her campy jhagmag outfits in that song? I especially liked the two midgets, with whistles in their mouths, wearing ticket-checkers' outfits and waving flags as Reena Roy sang "Gadi aayi, woh na aaya, khadi junction pe main".
One of the midgets now works as a doorman outside Neelam Hotel at the junction of Waterfield and Linking Roads in Bandra (next to the Subway restaurant).
How about signing him up with Vicks Vaporub for their next ad campaign?
