My congratulations! The site is excellent - I was just browsing it. The directors page with brief write-ups and song lists is a brilliant touch and I don't recall seeing it on any other tribute site! I'm really very impressed by your dedication....

Speaking of dedication, Geeta Roy started her career as a bhajan singer and while that phase of her career is now overshadowed by her more jazzy tunes, I think her best song was still a lovely bhajan composed by the mercurial Sajjad Hussain. I'm sure you've heard it dozens of time and would enjoy it once more....

Erum ji..thanks a lot. :smile;

Faraaj.. thanks a lot for the appreciation. The entire work has been a labour of love for parag and his team. As you so rightly said, he wanted the site to look different..and worked on the concept from all angles. He is the only one who had a total view of the site and it's contents. So he definitely deserves the accolades you have so kindly sent his way.

Parag and Venkat,

Just went through the photo gallery. Each and every photo was beautiful. Geeta Dutt looks amazingly beautiful in every photo. Thanks for sharing.

Lakshmi

Lakshmi...you are welcome. Actually the credit goes to so many people who have preserved and kept them on net. Photos will never loose their appeal even after decades ....unlike videos. especially Black and White photos. So happy that you graced the site.

Dear Ashraf ji

How can we forget you sir? Just think of it, one single thread posted 4 years back has inspired so many into making a full-fledged web site on Geeta ji. Your genuine affection for Geeta ji's songs had that power.



Please give a little details about which color you are referring to. You can email us at

geetaduttfans@gmail.com

Thanks and Warmest Regards
Parag

Thanks HB for your kind words. And many thanks for spreading the good word around about the launching of the site.

Best Regards
Parag

HB, thanks for remembering this birthday song on Geeta ji's birthday. Of course every one knows that this was the debut film of O P Nayyar as composer.



Lovely song, a personal favorite.

Parag

You are most welcome. Glad to spread the news around. Who doesn't like sharing good things?
That song is one of my favourites too. (I was having a low bitrate version earlier but Mahesh ji very kindly uploaded this version on the O.P. Nayyar forum).

Many thanks Faraaj ji

Best Regards
Parag

Yes, I know that was his first movie.
Infact, not many people know is that its starting piece was used as the signature tune of Binaca Geetmala for many years before it was replaced by the Spanish Gypsy tune.
A kind HF member had uploaded the signature tune some time back.
Reuploading it for those interested.

HB,
Can you give a link to the Orkut page where you have made some kind of announcement about launching of the site and the special Radio Program?

Sorry, I am not an Orkut expert..

LOL

Cheers
Parag

HBji,
thanks for the tune.raju bhartan in his writings had often written about the tune while referring to geetaji or opn.
