Happy 3rd Birthday to My Blog and a Quiz

How time flies! I have a feeling that the last quiz was some two months ago and in fact a year has passed since and my nanha munha blog is already three years old. Happy Birthday my dear harveypam blog. You have given me many moments of pleasure and have always been an outlet for my creative energy. More than that, lots of thanks goes to the readers of this blog and the commentators, who have always encouraged me and sent me many songs, which were new for me. The comments also provided me with information, which I didn’t have before. Besides info and songs, it was always fun to communicate with you. Thank you from the bottom of my heart!

I have already written about the blog’s past history and the form it has taken now. And this quiz has a lot to do with it. This quiz-pattern isn’t my invention. Some Hindi-Filmi-Sangeet deewane had been practising it on the discussion forum rec.music.indian.misc. (RMIM) for a long long time. Here is an example. Since few years it has been abandoned.

Happy Birthday to My Blog and a Quiz

Two years back, when I started this blog, I had completely a different vision in my mind for it. I had thought I would be reviewing films from all over the world. Somehow I ended up making theme-lists of songs. There are many reasons for it, which I myself don’t know!
When the blog started, many of the readers from other blogs, whom I had got acquainted with came and supported me with their comments and encouraging me to go ahead with it. I am really very grateful to them. But somehow after the review of Indien, my ambition lost steam and the overwhelming response to the come-back maanjhi (boatman) song list, put me back on track. This just goes to show what readers and comments and their commentators mean to this blog. It won’t exist without them. Thank you my dear readers and commentators. Big thanks from the bottom of my heart.
What better words than from S. H. Bihari can express my feelings!
bahut shukriya badi meharbani (many thanks, it is a great act of favour)
meri zindagi me huzur aap aae (that you have come into my life)
kadam chum luu yaa ye aankheen bichaa du (shall I kiss your feet or spread my gaze at your feet)
karu kya ye meri samajh me na aae (I just don’t know how to repay this kindness)

So overwhelmed I am from your response that:
mujhe dar hai mujhme gurur aa na jaae (I am afraid that I may become proud in vain)
lagu jhumne main suroor aa na jaae (and become merry being drunk in this adulation)

If I do reach this stand, please pull me back to the earth!
Speaking of getting drunk, this is also the theme of my small gift to you. It is a quiz, to work your small grey cells on, which are hopefully unscatehd by alcohol comsumption 😉 .
