The author of the book "Geeta Dutt : The Skylark" , Haimanti ji spent close to four years in her research on Geeta ji. She wanted to "see" as many songs of Geeta ji as much possible to get the feel of the song and how it has been sung.
The very fact that she could not manage to see more than 175- 200 videos of songs of Geeta ji tells how difficult it is to get to see Geeta ji's songs. With the invent of computers, DVD players, DVDs, Internet, music forums and video sharing sites like YouTube, it is possible to see the songs which have faded in the past. And there is one, the most important link to connect all the above things to make that experience possible. A great, generous and selfless individual who does not mind spending hours and hours of personal time to make these things possible. Yes, I am talking about none other than senior HF member and one of the most generous human beings I have come across, our friend Anu. The Geeta Dutt channel was launched on YouTube almost immediately after the launching of our site www.geetadutt.com The link to the YT channel is as follows: http://www.youtube.com/user/wwwgeetaduttcom In last seven months or so, we see that the YT channel has close to 300 videos so far. I have seen YT removing a few videos (for unknown reasons) and again they being shared at some point of time. The songs range from the most popular ones to the most rare ones. I still remember my childhood days, when getting to "listen" to the audio of a relatively rare Geeta Dutt song (say "Meri zindagi ke humsafar" from Shrimati 420) was itself a very big achievement. I (and many fans of Geeta ji) possibly could have never dreamt that one day many of such songs will be available to be actually seen. This is nothing less than a miracle and all fans of Geeta ji are indebted to Anu for consistent efforts on promoting the site on Geeta ji and sharing the videos of her songs. Let us open our minds and appreciate the genuine efforts of a great music lover. Let us not do what this immortal Ghazal by Jagjit Singh sahab says: Duniya jise kehte hain jaadu ka khilauna hain Mil jaaye to mitti hain kho jaaye to sona hain Whatever songs we are able to see on our YT channel are more then "Gold" for us. Yes of course, we will keep chasing to see more and mroe songs of Geeta ji. At the same time, we will keep appreciating the superlative efforts of one individual, who has made this a flagship channel dedicated to our beloved singer Geeta ji. Anu, people do many things when asked for. What you have done for us, without even asking for it, is simply un-parallel. May God give all the strength to you to keep up this noble effort you have been doing. I am sure, Geeta ji must be looking down at us and smiling about the fact that more than 30 years after her journey to heaven, music lovers like us are remembering her and enjoying her golden voice. Thank you Anu. You are among the best! This post has been edited by parag_sankla: Jul 1 2009, 11:02 AM Attached image(s) Please visit www.geetadutt.com

Parag,
I have just visited You Tube to see what you were describing in your write up here. Indeed, it is an outstanding job done by Anupama ji. I only looked into a few of the videos because there are so many of them that are available to see. Our sincere thanks to Anupama ji for sharing such beautiful videos with us. Once again, I only saw few videos of some of the movies that I have not seen before. Outstanding video quality and excellent audio reproduction. Thank you and thank you again Anupama ji. Cheers, Swarapriya |

Many thanks for visiting our YT channel and browsing through the videos shared by Anupama. It is truly an example of what a dedicated individual can do. Once again many thanks Anupama for making all these rare videos available to all of us. To be honest, I would have never ever dreamt of seeing most of these songs in my life. The only songs I happened to see were from Guru Dutt films when I bunked my college classes to watch the Guru Dutt Film Festival in Mumbai. Best Regards Parag Please visit www.geetadutt.com

When I began visiting the Youtube site a few years ago, I used to see about 50-60 odd total songs of Geeta ji (majority of them from Guru Dutt films of course). Our channel has brought out so many unseen songs. Many songs have additional stanzas in the film versions!
Thanks Anu for all this. Hope more and more people visit our YT channel. Cheers Parag Please visit www.geetadutt.com

Oh Parag! Don't know what 2 say!
Parag, Swarapriyaji, Rashmiji & HB, thanks a lot for appreciating and acknowledging the work. This is just a small contribution compared to others' continuous, tireless efforts and generous work for the music community. I am glad that I could be a part of it. I congratulate you and the entire Geetaji team for reaching the landmark. As I said earlier, I started the channel to promote the site www.geetadutt.com. I'm happy that our efforts are being paid off and appreciated not only on HF but by all other fans of Geetaji worldwide. Many thanks again for your kind and encouraging words. I'm touched! I'm proud to announce that we will be crossing 300 videos with my next weekend lot! Yippieeee! Cheers, Anu |

And there is no exaggeration when I said that I never ever dreamt of seeing songs from films like Sansar or Darogaji or Mr Sampat.
Each of these songs is a gem and we all will keep savoring them for many years (as long as YT keeps the videos) I spoke to Haimanti ji about this and she is happy for what we have been doing. If only we would have been in touch with her a little earlier, her tasks would have been much easier.. Please visit www.geetadutt.com

Nice to see you here. Hope you were checking our YT channel too all these days. Songs from films like Darogaji are Creme de La creme for us.. I can not imagine how much of efforts and time would Anu have taken to convert DVD/VCD/VHS into movie files for us. Simply wonderful! Regards Parag Please visit www.geetadutt.com
