This is indeed a momentous moment.
There are many circumstances when life will deal unfair cards to us. Geeta Ji's life was one such. She had so much to give and yet, it all was cut short by so many reasons. After a long a time, it is nice to do something to keep her memory alive...and an effort to make others realize the beautiful numbers she sang...in so many different languages and to bring back some memories and reminiscences of those golden times.
Truly a tribute befitting the Girl with the Golden Voice !!
All are welcome !

Wonderful Parag bhai.. We all look forward to this auspicious day! A great launch for a great legend Geeta ji, who deserves this befitting honour!

Paragji

I'm eagerly waiting for this day. Fate is not in favour of Geetaji, it snatched away her career and life. But still she lives in our memories with her golden voice. We can preserve her songs, photos, other informations for the coming generations through this website. Thanks Paragji for your hard works for starting this website.

Great work Parag Bhai and other fans of Geeta Dutt.Till date highest number of websites,webpages and blogs have been made on Kishore Kumar.

Posted by: parag_sankla Nov 18 2008, 07:35 PM

A concept started more than 3 years ago..
A visualization started 2 years ago...
And consistent efforts from more than 50 kind souls..

That is the kind of groundwork which this site has gone through. We all Geeta ji fans hope that the website will be our small tribute to the legendary playback singer.

Posted by: parag_sankla Nov 18 2008, 07:47 PM

Here is the thread which indicates that the concept was conceived more than 3 years ago by the then HF admins

I can only quote ...a couple of thoughts . One befitting Geeta Dutt Ji..

“What we do for ourselves dies with us. What we do for others and the world remains and is immortal.”

Truly befitting as She gave so much happiness to millions of people all round the world and definitely deserves immortality.
That is just the inspiration.

Next is for Parag and all the regular visitors to this thread...who contributed so much. And for the team that is made from sheer love towards the departed Soul..

“Thinking is easy, acting is difficult, and to put one's thoughts into action is the most difficult thing in the world.”

Parag did it. And am so much happy for him.

Posted by: frangipani Nov 18 2008, 08:37 PM

Looking forward to it.

And I join SF in congratulating Parag, were it not for his consistent and tireless efforts, I think the dream would have taken much longer to turn into reality.

Would like to give a link here to a thread which was opened some time back to discuss the "History" and the "Progress" of Geeta Dutt forum on HF.

http://www.hamaraforums.com/index.php?showtopic=55270&hl=

Its amazing to see that it started with a thread opened in Mohd Rafi forum (because there was no Geeta Dutt sub-forum created at that time) and now we are close to seeing a full-fledged website dedicated to this legendary artist.

Thanks to all who have made this possible. I only wish Bappa Chatterjee was here to see this.

First of all a huge Thank you to Paragbhai and all the people who made
this web sight dream come true. Absolute dedication and scarifices were
made to keep Geetaji's memories alive. Congratulations to Paragbhai and
everyone who helped him.

In 1965 I moved to India from East Africa and went to live in Santacruz-west
in an apartment complex on S. V. Road.
In building no. 3 Geetaji moved in on the first floor with her children Taru, Arun and
Nina together with some relatives.
We had quite a few film personalities living in the complex at that time.
Hemnatda's sister in law, B.R. Chopra saab's editor Mr. Pran Mehra,
Mohan Chotiji, Jeetandra's sister (Gatu's mom).etc.
All of them were very very humble and friendly and always ready to
talk to us wide eyed teenagers.
I remember Mohan Chotiji a lot and he used to come to our house on
Holi day and drag us to play holi.
On one such occassion, Geetaji and her children came down to play
holi and Tuntunji (Umadevi) was visting Geetaji so she came to play as
well. We had a great time. Both of them sang songs and reveled in the
festivities. No airs, no show off, nothing. For us as teenagers, it was a big
deal because we were not ignored. Geetaji was so beautiful and what an amazing voice!!!
Geetaji was a very kind and compassionate soul, always smiling and would stop and say hello
if she was going out. The children were here life.
In the evening we used to see her sitting in the balcony listening to her
songs and would wave to us when we passed by. You could see her listening to
her songs of Anubhav, Mujhe Jaan na kaho meri Jaan, Koi chupke se aake.
I have heard her singing these while she was playing the record too. What a beautiful voice!!!
We knew she was lonelyand sad yet she had such compassion!!! Smile and acknowledge us even
in her sadness!!!! You saw a kind of melancholy in her eyes, yet she always had a smile for everyone.
Then one day, we heard she was in hosipital and we all felt very very sad.
We kept a vigil as to what was going on and when she passed away it was
a very sad day for all of us. It felt as though the whole world was quiet that day!!!
What a beautiful soul was Geetaji??? The thing that I remember the most is
her smile, her beauty and those beautiful expressive eyes.
I will never forget her.

Posted by: simplefable Nov 19 2008, 09:15 PM

Jairaj Ji..That is an amazing anecdote. Thanks a lot for sharing it with us on this wonderful Forum.
It is always acknowledged that Geeta ji is indeed a kind and compassionate soul but hearing it from you in first person is so much gratifying.
Geeta ji may not be with us physically, to rejoice these moments, but am sure She will be happy where ever she is...

Thank you Paragbhai for your kind words. I wrote it from my heart.
She really touch my life young as I was.
It is a blessing to meet such beautiful compassionate souls
in your life-very rare to find such people.

Another person that came to mind was Vijay Anandaaab.
He was a dear dear friend and an elegant human being.
Very evolved and very caring.
Miss him a lot too.

And ofcourse my son Deepak was one such loving soul
as well. HE taught us all some great lessons in life and I
found out how precious he was to others when I got letters
from his collegues and friends and some stangers who had
only met him once to say how Deepak had touched their lives
with his love, compasiion and humility.
I do miss him as any parent would but feel so thankful and blessed that
God in his eternal mercy found it fitting to choose me as his mother.


I feel very very blessed to have met Geetaji, Vijayji who have touched
my life in a positive way.

Thank you from the bottom of my heart for such selfless work to keep
Geeta aunty's memories alive.

Posted by: simplefable Nov 20 2008, 12:04 AM

Jaishree Ji...I truly appreciate you , as you are able to participate again actively on this forum. Even in the midst of personal tragedy of such scale.
I can only say that Deepak has lived his life in such a beautiful way, God thought him to be fit for heavens and called him over so soon. We should rejoice His life and the principles He set.
Our deepest condolences to you and your family members.

Parag..you are welcome. Those are the first words i heard of the song which were etched in my memory. I couldnt believe that one who could sing in such song can chortle..Mera naam chin chin choo...with all the oomph of a nymph. then, i went to on to amaze the way Geeta Ji can sing a bhajan...Mera manwa kyon gabhrayein..that is versatility at best.

Parag,

I can't wait for it to be 23rd of November. You've done an astonishingly admirable job by following your dream to give it a shape of reality. Like Geetaji's voice that touched and enthralled millions of music lovers, your efforts to bring her work to the forefront of visibility also already have touched hearts of many and will continue to enthrall in years to come.

You may be the No. 1 fan of Geetaji, but your perseverance and dedication made me your No. 1 fan. It will be your day, your time, your hour. Savor every moment of it. Enjoy every minute of it.

I have a ticket to the front row seat for this Grand Opening and will be wildly cheering for you.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO GEETA JI !!


Aaj sajan mohe ang laga lo, janam safal ho jaaye
Hriday ki peeda, deh ki agni, sab sheetal ho jaaye

kahe jag se hain jaage, more nain abhaage
kahe jiya naheen laage bin saawre
sukh dise naahee aage, dukh peechhe peechhe bhaage
jag sunaa sunaa laage been tore
paremasudhaa, more saawareeyaa, itanee barasaa do, jag jalathal ho jaaye



Thankyou Lakshmi..and all other enthusiasts. It has been a wonderful moment. The perseverance of Parag and his willingness to go that extra mile did this miracle.
The best part of the day was to see so many angels glide over to save the team ..just in time to make us believe that if you believe ..you will be blessed. Amazing ! Gratifying !
Thanks Parag !!

Just made a visit to the www.GeetaDutt.com.Over all a nice web site.In the home page the sliding photos is the thing which I liked most.A suggestion came to my mind is about the color.I feel that it is better to have lighter color which is more attracting and good for our eyes also.Any way good start and we can improve everything in the days to come.

The most touching section in the site is "Geeta & Her Children"..... when a women becoms famous we almost forget that she is a Mother also.... and I felt really happy that she was such a caring mother - like any other mother - inspite of her being sucessful & more so when she was constantly struggling & fighting aginst odds & pains in her marriage....

A small thing I noticed is in the section 'Life with Gurudutt'.. is that Guru Dutt's family is from "Mysore"... the fact is that the 'Padukone' family to which Guru Dutt belonged hails from "Mangalore" (Panambur, a village in South Kanara district of Karnataka - to be precise)... where you will find may Konkani speaking people to which the surname 'Padukone' generally belongs to.

Posted by: simplefable Nov 23 2008, 02:03 PM

Sachin..Thanks for the correction. It is known that Guru dutt Padukone is a Saraswat from Mangalore. a genuine mistake which we over looked ..as we rushed around. Will correct it ASAP.

Parag Saab

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....

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.

Hello Mahesh ji
You are most welcome. The tune being taken for Binaca Geet Mala is really an indication of the quality of O.P. Nayyar's music in the movie which didn't get its due because of the movie flopping. Thanks once again for uploading the songs of the rare movies. I had been searching for the CH Atma and Rajkumari songs for a really long time. I am deeply indebted to you for uploading songs of the movie and also Baaz. Songs of both the movie have given me great happiness after listening after so much search. If I could get all Sailaab songs too it would be really wonderful. (I only have a few).

This signature tune was provided by a generous HF member whose name I can't recall now. He's the person we should really be thanking. He also gave the new tune chosen later. Do let me know if you need it.

Has any one tried to browse our site www.geetadutt.com in a browser other than Internet Explorer?

Any issues with other browsers???

I don't find any problems with Firefox (packaged as iceweasel on my distro). Some sides are getting overflow for articles in the browser Konqueror though with some issue with nsplugin (text is visible however).
I also confirm that its working fine in the browser Epiphany also.

Thanks to Erum, Waheed, Abhay, Aryan, Hildebrand, Saksham and every one who joined us on the HF radio for this special program

Abhay, please see this page for the story/incident we discused on the shoutbox

http://geetadutt.com/bhatkar.html

Quote:

For Kidar Sharma’s Suhag Raat (1948), she sang three duets with Rajkumari and one with Shamshad Beghum. Veteran Kidar Sharma did play the roles of producer, director, story writer, script writer as well as song writer for this film. According to Kidar Sharma's memoirs Pandit Jawaharlal Nehru was so struck by the Kidar Sharma song (sung by Geeta and Shamshad) that he sent for him. The lines that had entranced Panditji were: "Aankhoon mein aankhain daal toonay mujhko kya pilaya, Jiss taarey par nazar parri, wo tara larrkharraya"

Feedbacks have started coming in. Thats a good sign!

1) No mention of song(s) sung by Geeta ji by R D Burman -> We ourselves do not know/have any song. Any one having these songs, please contact us at geetaduttfans@gmail.com. Thanks in advance
2) No online playing of songs -> We will soon be having a Jukebox on the site. Wil make the announcement on HF once its in place

Posted by: parag_sankla Nov 25 2008, 01:37 AM

I guess there are a few corrections to the above family tree.
1) Kanu Roy is not Geeta ji's brother, so his name to be taken off
2) One of her sister's name is Laxmi Roy who married Pramod Chakravarty
3) Nina's husband's name is Naushad
4) Nina has a daughter by name Nafeesa

More help needed

I remember reading one of Bappa's old posts where he said he was in touch with one of Geetaji's brother whose name was Manik. (Don't remember which post though). I vaguely recall its the same thread where he said Kanu Roy wasn't her brother (but she may have had a brother by the same name).

Ok here is a fact that was incorrect about Geeta Dutt:

Kanu Roy is not related to the Roy Chowdhurys at all.

Mukul da and Milan da are the two brothers so far I know of. I am getting a list of all siblings of her's soon from our common friend.

Bappa

So from this its clear about Kanu Roy MD not being brother. Another brother Milan is mentioned in this post. I can't find the post mentioning Manik Roy or another brother also being named Kanu.

The 'Tributes' section made for great reading, especially the one by Meena Kapoor. Is there a way by which the Hindi text can show up in Devnagri instead of or along with the Roman transliteration? Reading paragraphs of Hindi in Roman script is not very easy for me, having it in Devnagri would look better too, I think.

Any idea who was the composer - or still better can a kind - generous soul on HF upload the song if they have.

Looking forward eagerly for some response...
