@free_thinker Vishwaguru, indeed.

With India now exporting its disinformation actors in the Indian mainstream media and on social media in support of Israel, hopefully the world will now realise how the Indian right-wing has made India the disinformation capital of the world. The disinformation originating from India that fact-checkers globally are having to contend with, Indian fact-checkers have been dealing with that every day for several years now.

October10 - जगजीत की याद का दिन .. 'बात निकलेगी तो फिर दूर तलक जायेगी' जगजीत ने कफ़ील आज़र की ये नज़्म, फ़िल्म मैगज़ीन 'शमा' में पढ़ी थी उन्होने सबसे पहले वो भुपिंदर सिंह की आवज़ में रेकार्ड करवाई, जो रिलीज़ नहीं हुई. फिर अर्जुन देव रश्क़ की एक फ़िल्म के लिये रेकार्ड की, जो फ़िल्म बनी नहीं..हर रचना की अपनी नियति होती है. उनको ये नज़्म बेहद पसंद थी तो प्रतिबंध हटने के बाद के अपने पहले एलबम #TheUnforgettables में शामिल की. फ़िल्म मेकर बासु भट्टाचार्य ने हिंदी फ़िल्मों में सबसे पहले जगजीत सिंह की प्रतिभा को पहचाना (वैसे पहले जगजीत साठ के दशक में गुजराती फ़िल्म मे भजन गा चुके थे),और फ़िल्म आविष्कार में क्लासिक रचना ’बाबुल मोरा नैहर छूटो ही जाये’ को बासु ने जगजीत-चित्रा के युगल स्वरों में बेहद खूबसूरती से क्लाईमैक्स में प्रस्तुत किया. उसके बाद अपनी अगली फ़िल्म गृह-प्रवेश में जगजीत की गाई ’बात निकलेगी तो फित दूर तलक जायेगी’ को फिर से शामिल किया. बासु दा ने रेडियो पे बजते गीत के वोल्यूम को जिस तरह से दोनो चरित्रों के उहापोह और अन्दर ही अन्दर चलने वाले द्वंद को पेश किया है, वो उनके खामोश सिनेमा का एक बेहतरीन आयाम पेश करता है. वहीं बाबुल मोरा दोनो चरित्रों के कॉनफ़्लिक्ट का रेसोल्यूशन बनता है, और बासु दा उसे विदाई गीत के बजाय घर वापसी का गीत बनाते हैं - घर अमर-मानसी का सुनिये .. #JagjitSingh #DeathAnniversary #BasuBhattacharya #JagjitChitra #WazidAliShah #SongsonRadio #KafeelAzar #KanuRoy

Mehmaan Nawazi and the Quintessence of Roohafza in Lucknow Hailing from Lucknow, a city renowned for its rich culture and heritage, I am constantly reminded of the treasured memories of my childhood. An intrinsic part of my upbringing was the esteemed tradition of hosting guests. I often find myself reminiscing about a couplet my father used to recite, “Shukr kar tu apne dil mein amad-i mehmaan par Rizq apna kharaha hai tere dastarkhwan par”, which translates to, "Give thanks in your heart on the advent of a guest He is eating his own sustenance on your table" The anticipation of hosting guests would often lead to a rush to the local market, eager to procure the perfect assortment of snacks. The 'nashta' or the welcome snack was paramount. Laid out generously were an array of sweet and savoury treats, comprising a variety of 'namkeens' from Ameenabad, along with mouth-watering samosas and imartis from the local halwai shop. Yet, this splendid spread of snacks would remain incomplete without a refreshing beverage to accompany it. Given the sweltering heat that Lucknow grapples with, especially during summer, the ideal choice was always Roohafza. Watching Roohafza being prepared was a delightful spectacle. We would stand eagerly in the kitchen, our eyes following every step, but the moment that always stood out was the crushing of the ice. The sight of it being added to the drink and the knowledge that it would soon be served chilled was sheer joy. Today, Lucknow continues to be celebrated for its impeccable 'mehmaan nawazi' or hospitality, and its unwavering love for Roohafza remains evergreen. So, I invite you to take a moment and reminisce about your favourite Roohafza memories. After all, such shared experiences and stories are what make our heritage so vibrant and alive. Do you have any cherished Roohafza moments that take you down memory lane? Share them with me. Let's celebrate the beautiful tradition of hospitality, Lucknow style. @RoohAfzaIndia
