Binaca GeetMala of Ameen Sayani For Music Lovers. Audio.
I recall the days when I used to await Ameen Sayani‘s ‘Binaca Geethmala’
The songs that had been promoted on the basis of Listeners’ Preferences became a hit, invariably.
I had a touring job .
I used to finish my work early and wait for Bianaca Geetmala.
Apart from the songs, it is the voice of Ameeen Sayani with his unique style of announcing that scintillated the listeners.
Eternal Songs, Lyrics and Music.

Ameen Sayani.
The show was first called “BINACA GEETMALA”, then “CIBACA GEETMALA” and, thereafter, “COLGATE-CIBACA GEETMALA”. It commenced over the Commercial Hindi Service of RADIO CEYLON towards the end of 1952 and shifted to All-India Radio’s VIVIDH BHARATI network in 1989.
The initial half-hour “Geetmala” began as an experimental weekly jackpot show based on a random selection of songs. It dropped into Ameen’s lap only because other leading broadcasters declined it. For all of Rs. 25 a week, he was required to select the songs, produce, script and compere the programme, and also process the mail.The mail-response competition required every letter to be checked, and hardly 40-50 letters were expected. The first episode brought 9,000 ! Within a year, that number touched 60,000 per week. The show, and the station, both began ruling the Asian airwaves – but Ameen was fast becoming a nervous wreck managing the mail response with a mini-group of volunteers! Fortunately, the competition was shelved in 1954, and was replaced by a 1-hour countdown hit-parade.
The new format became a rage in no time, drawing an estimated nine to twelve crore (90 to 120 million) listeners from all over Asia, and even from East Africa, with its powerful Short Wave sweep. “That was the golden period of film music”, Ameen reminisces. “The songs were not only fabulous, but also helped in integrating our huge, intricately multi-lingual nation. Everyone loved Hindi film songs, and everyone was latched onto Geetmala and Radio Ceylon – particularly because the gigantic network of All-India Radio had suddenly decided to totally ban Hindi film music in the early fifties!

IPL 2012 Opening Ceremony videos, News.
Refers to:
The glamour quotient was at an all-time high as a galaxy of stars, led by megastar Amitabh Bachchan, descended at the at the YMCA College of Physical Education and set the stage on fire with their performance.
Amitabh, returning to work after two abdominal surgeries earlier this year, started the proceedings for the evening with a rendition of a poem ‘If I were to be born again’, written by renowned lyricist Prasoon Joshi.
The 69-year-old’s baritone voice and inimitable style, coupled with a dance performance choreographed by Shiamak Davar at the background gave an apt start to the glittering ceremony, which set the stage for the 54-day extravaganza featuring nine teams.
South African percussion band First Project, composer DJ Ravi Drums and Colonial Cousins then took the stage and churned out their brand of music, setting the pulses racing.
Bollywood actress Priyanka Chopra then enthralled the audience with her dance and heroics during her performance to the hit numbers from her films such as ‘Don’, ‘Don 2’ and ‘Kaaminey’, which even saw India spinner Harbhajan Singh shaking a leg on the stage.
India’s dancing sensation and Chennai’s own Prabhu Deva then burned the dance floor with his power-packed performance where he danced to songs from films such as (Wanted) and ‘Hum Se Hai Muqablah’.
Two-time title winners, Chennai Super Kings then took the stage and Priyanka Chopra shared some light moments with the cricketers as she quizzed skipper Mahendra Singh Dhoni and also taught Australian Doug Bollinger and Indian spinner R Ashwin some dancing steps.

Attempted Time Travel ends in Suicide-Top 50 Time Movies.
Image via Wikipedia Time is a very difficult concept.
Please read my blog ‘TIME -a Non-Linear Theory’
Attempting Time Travel with our present knowledge is harmful as the case proves.
Probably the people are misled by the Movies on Time travel.
They must know that the movies often depict what is probable and the story line is presented in such a way as to sound feasible and plausible, like in the Movie ‘Knowing,Next’ ,Matrix series and a host of others.
People should desist from these attempts.
However one can attempt Time Travel by mental Discipline.”
Two schoolgirls in China have committed suicide in an attempt to travel back in time.
The girls decided to end their lives after one of them lost a remote control to a door, China Daily reports, via People’s Daily. Xiao Hua told her best friend and fellow classmate, Xiao Mei, that she was worried about coming clean to her parents. The names are reportedly pseudonyms.
In an effort to avoid potential consequences, the girls allegedly took inspiration from a popular television show and committed suicide to travel back in time.
They left notes explaining their decision before jumping — and subsequently drowning — in a pool.
In a note obtained by the Shanghaiist.com, one of the girls explained her reasoning for her rash decision by writing: “In my life, I have two secret wishes. One is to time-travel back to Qing Dynasty and shoot a film with the emperor, and the other is to travel to outer space,” the Christian Postreports.
The chain of events has raised concerns about the influence of media on young children, and the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television has placed restrictions on airing certain shows between 7 p.m. and 9 p.m., according to People’s Daily.
Following is a List of top 50 ‘Time’ Movies-Enjoy the Movie , but do not imitate them.

The Butterfly Effect (2004)
Where Do They Start? The present day, where Evan (Ashton Kucher) is studying psychology.
Where Do They End Up? Re-reading journal entries enables him to return to the scene of hitherto unexplained childhood blackouts.
Biggest Culture Clash: Evan’s adventures keep affecting the present, turning him in one timeline into an armless paraplegic.
Unresolved Paradox: How come Evan always has blackouts at the same points in his childhood no matter how crazily the timeline gets changed?
…..
Where Do They Start? Alex Wyler (Keanu Reeves) moves into a lake house in 2004; Kate Forster (Sandra Bullock) does the same in 2006.
Where Do They End Up? Moving normally through time…except they can communicate via a mailbox that bridges the two-year gap.
Biggest Culture Clash: Whenever they want to meet, Alex has to wait two years for the rendez-vous. For Kate, it’s more like a day. Hardly fair, is it?
Unresolved Paradox: Kate changes the timeline by warning Alex about his impending death.
