Radio Transcripts Volume – 3

(Vividh Bharati: Aaj Ke Fankaar-II & Special Bhoole Bisre Geet)

by Sujoy Chatterjee

When N Ramaswamy recently mentioned that Sujoy Chatterjee has transcribed about 1,000 radio and TV programs from various sources, the first thought that came to my mind was that this a gold mine! It must be published. Luckily, Sujoy agreed. This is the third of a series.

From his preface:

    Listening to radio has been the author's favourite pastime since childhood. From early 21st century, with the arrival of the personal computer and the traditional mobile phone, he took his hobby to the next level, that is, he started making transcripts of radio and television programmes that were somehow related to film music. The transcribed information mostly comprises of biographies and interviews of artists, transcripts of programmes presented by them, and record of trivia and interesting incidents related to the making of film songs, and other additional details.
    Over the years, the number of transcripts crossed the thousandth mark. The information base thus created is massive. This book is the first Volume of the Series entitled ‘Radio Transcripts’ that includes transcripts of programmes broadcast over Vividh Bharati Service (VBS) on special occasions and those broadcast or telecast over few other radio and television channels.

    If you are looking for some never-heard-before and at the same time reliable information about film-related Radio Programmes, you will enjoy the series.

Pages 334, 6 in by 9 in, transcripts in Roman script and Hindi/Urdu language.

Dreams Alone Survive

Dr Ravinder Kumar 'Ravi'

He is a prolific author, this is his 22nd book.

It is a poetry book.

Author's Preface:

A man without dreams is no man. These are his dreams which keep him going. Dreams inspire us all. Death of dream is the saddest tragedy. We knit our own dreams and keep moving in life. When a dream is unfulfilled either we pursue it more vigorously or the dream dies an untimely death, so we feel. Dreams do not die. They just take back seat. Dreams, as the saying goes, do not come true on their own, they are to be achieved, which means one has to work for it. Day dreaming is nothing but a cynical lazy proposition. You dream big; you work big time to realize them. You dream small; you work small time. What is called low achievers.

 

Man is nothing but a bundle of dreams, some realised ones and many more unfulfilled ones (not dead ones) Death of dream rather capacity and fiery desire to dream if that is dead then it is death of man. Man is mortal. Dreams are forever!

 

So, dream on! For Dreams alone survive!

RMIM Articles 3. Music Directors

Prof Surjit Singh

As I have mentioned before, classic RMIMers ran many series for many years, there content generated at least 6,000 pages.

I had thought of compiling a big book, but considering the sheer size of the work wrote a Minibus on the 25th anniversary.

Now I am coming back to compiling books on different series.

[I think it will take about 20 books of about 300 pages each to do the job properly.]

Paperback, US Letter, 225 pages.
