RD Burman and Raga Khamaj

In Amar Prem he used the raga for two more songs Bada Natkhat Hai Re and then again in Kuchh Toh Log Kahenge. Let me hasten to add that in Kuchh Toh Log, the notes of Khamaj merge into Raga Kalavati. But even then can you think of another movie which has three songs based on the same raga in one movie?

The Charm of Raga Yaman

Raga Yaman evokes deep introspection at the end of the day and evokes a sense of anticipation of the evening ahead. If you thought it was only for spiritual songs, you are wrong. There are several romantic compositions in Yaman as well.

14 Short Stories That Inspired Satyajit Ray

All the stories are vivid and offer scope for a powerful visual interpretation. In a short story, the author can tell you how a character is dressed and that he is feeling hungry and annoyed. How would that be depicted on screen? What would be there in the background where this is being conveyed? How long should this be depicted visually on screen to make the story move forward? The book contains interviews with Sharmila Tagore and Dhritiman Chatterjee whose craft Ray had appreciated.

Angela Duckworth: Why Grit Is the Greatest Predictor of Success

I define Grit as having passion for a long-term goal and then working really hard consistently over an extended period of time. Gritty people work towards goals that would take years to achieve. If you are a person who is just working hard and don’t have a consistent goal to guide you, then you don’t have one half of grit. Likewise, you may have the passion for something, but not the resilience. Some people drop out of things they do and it is not because they had a serious setback or something terrible has happened but because of the slow progress.
