DAY 4448

Jalsa, Mumbai                      May 11,  2020                 Mon 11:28 PM

Birthday  EF  Deepa Krishna ..  Iris -  Israel .. Tuesday, May 12 .. greetings and love to the birthday ladies .. wishing you all the very best in these trying times and praying for your happiness .. be safe .. love ❤️

… years keep passing by and the years of releases keep springing up .. and that limitless documenter of the events .. Moses keeps throwing up some of the rarest of pictures .. some that have never been seen before .. how he does it is a mystery which hopefully someday we shall ask him to disclose ..

.. its 42 years of DON .. Produced by Nariman Irani , the ace DOP of the times, venturing into Production, and Salim-Javed obliging him by writing the film for his benefit .. Directed by Chandra Barot, who was AD to Manoj Kumar ji in the film which had Jaya with Manoj ji .. the friendship grew and has remained close .. he directed the film his first .. 

Nariman Bawa as we all affectionately called him a most humble, kindest person you would ever meet .. tragically passed away through a freak accident, and was not alive to see the release of the film .. 

.. while he was shooting for a film Nariman Bawa,  suddenly noticed, that the set where they were working was about to crumble and fall .. a young child was playing around it .. Nariman fearing the kid would get crushed, ran , jumped on the kid and saved him , but in doing so he injured himself, as he fell .. and never came out of the complications that arose after that .. it was such a sad moment .. God’s own man .. simple, uncomplicated , soft spoken and a master in his craft .. just could not live to see the end of the film DON .. 

.. and Jaya and I at the award ceremony ..

.. when the Filmfare award was announced for me as Best Actor, I dedicated the award to his wife .. and called her up on stage .. she was very reluctant but persuaded by several came up .. those days the award used to be announced months before .. would be held at Shanmukhanand Hall .. and the surprise moment would be who would come to give the award .. since the winner was already known ..

.. after doing the other character  shooting at Mehboob studios lawns , I was shooting for another film in Srinagar Kashmir and remember getting a telegram of praise from Salim-Javed, after they had seen the rushes of the pan chewing scene of the duplicate character .. 

.. and the song ‘khaike paan..’ an after thought .. Chandra showed the film to Manoj ji after the shoot was over and he suggested that there should be a song in the second half .. thats how this moment was created .. .. 

.. those days we worked in 2-3 shifts per day on different films .. I was shooting in the morning shift 7am-2pm at China creek .. an outdoor location some miles our of the city .. it was an action sequence .. had injured my feet .. blisters all around .. and came to Mehboob Studios from China Creek to shoot this number .. had to dance bare feet .. blisters were impossible to walk on .. so what .. called the doc .. took anaesthesia injections in the feet and worked the 4-5 days that took to shoot it ..

.. there is a dance move in the song where the steps are me moving sideways .. thats a copy of Abhishek .. as a little fellow whenever he heard music he would dance and do this side step .. I copied that from him for the song .. there is another shot of me dancing and I turn around , show my back and keep moving my hips and look back .. that has a story too .. but of that some other time ..

.. years later of course at a concert overseas .. Abhishek would do a take off of the song on stage .. 

.. the bell bottoms of the time could accommodate a housing colony   !

.. when Chandra and Salim-Javed announced the name of the film as DON .. no distributor was willing to accept the title .. they all thought it to be named after the DAWN underwear .. a popular brand during those times ..  the film Godfather was just making a mark in film circles .. the word Don was unknown till then .. 

BUT what a life the film has had and its music .. quite remarkable

Javed saheb sent me an sms this morning .. 

“ huzoor 42 saal ho gaye DON ko .. hadd ho gayee ..” 

‘हुज़ूर ४२ साल हो गए DON को , हद हो गयी  !!!

truly ‘hadd’ ho gayee ..

that scene of me coming to meet the opposite gang with the briefcase containing the money, throwing it to them and it explodes was shot in the wild terrain of what now is an entire City .. the whole habitat as you turn off the highway to go to Film City .. that is what it was before .. that scene was shot there ..  Mumbai grows .. 

.. as do my sleep calls ..

good night ..

DAY 4189

Jalsa, Mumbai                     Aug 25,  2019                  Sun 11:09 PM

Birthday - EF - Harshavardhan Ghatapanadi .. Monday, August 26 … greetings on your birthday and the wishes of the Ef ..

.. this be the gratitude of all that bring the warmth of their wishes each Sunday .. this be the humbled prayer to all for their love and affection .. this be all that can be mustered from within in all that can be given from me .. 

I am in the sublime theory of the gift received of the love, and I do not possess the acumen to dissolve its theoretical catalyst .. you be them and that .. I be , just be .. and nothing more ..

.. I see the many and the known and I cannot be with all .. that is a worry and concern .. but I do know that the understanding of them that come, shall ever remain pure and forgiving and filled with the emotions that remain similar ever ..

.. it is a form of being audible .. it is an experience that shall hopefully bring the voices closer home .. on platform or hardware .. or simply by sound .. that keeps me in the work for the day apart from those sessions of  listening that shall ever bring opportunity to perhaps be a part of an expected performance .. a creative design .. one that stays close to the heart of mine .. or does it .. 

The profession is the sound of the work in its contractual self and existence .. but that which brings the inner, out, in the joy of a fresh input .. a fresh outlook .. an outlook that perhaps may not have been conceived, by the giver but laboured by the receiver and given different text .. satisfaction perhaps .. but the trouble with creativity is limitation .. it has none .. which is why its fascination increases each working day .. and each different surprise , is a surprise no longer the next day or the day next  .. or next or next or next ..

Long may this unending belief remain .. and long may the belief be unbelieved each moment .. a stimulus for perpetuity .. !!
