In this blog, I will be writing on my most favourite hindi music composer ever, "Rahul Dev Burman"!!

Rahul Dev Burman, also known as R.D Burman, was one of hindi film music's most popular music directors and has composed for 331 films during the 1960's to 1990's. He is also credited to have revolutionized the face of Bollywood music.

Few years back, I was first introduced to Burman's songs by my mother when she played out super duper hits from "Aradhana", "Kati Patang" and "Amar Prem" for me. And then I fell in love with his songs...

Reasons why I am head over heels in love with Burman's music direction and songs are :

1. They have amazing tunes and beats - I don't think any other composer can produce as superb tunes as R.D Burman. They are so amazing to hear and have such an awesome beat that you can just lean back onto your chair and say, 'Vah Re Vah'(Oh! Wow!).😁

2. Wide Diversity - From classical masterpieces to a pacy dance song, he has proven his worth in all genres. His selection of instruments and how he uses them for each type mind-blowingly enhances the song.

3. Ingeniousness at it's best - It is said that to bring different sounds, Burman used to turn day to day objects into a new instrument. To bring beats, he used to blow into bottles and rub his comb against rough surfaces. And to bring the effect of thunder, he used to rub sandpaper together!!😂

4. The Rahul - Rajesh - Kishore trio - Consisting of Burman, actor Rajesh Khanna and singer Kishore Kumar, (to know about Rajesh Khanna and Kishore Kumar, go to https://rithview.blogspot.com/2018/05/my-journey-of-becoming-ardent-rajesh.html) they have collaborated together for thirty movies all containing evergreen songs. The song which R.D Burman magnificently composed, is sung majestically by Kishore Kumar which in turn is acted marvellously by Rajesh Khanna.

Some of my favourite R.D Burman songs include :

1. Raina Beeti Jaye - It is a haunting melody from the movie ''Amar Prem''. The way how Lata Mangeshkar has sung the song is astounding.

2. O Mere Dil Ke Chain - It is a fast and superb song from the movie "Mere Jeevan Sathi". I would say that this song is one Kishore Kumar's best rendered ones.

3. Kuch Toh Log Kahenge - Again from"Amar Prem", it is a soulful and heartmoving song. If you want to know why Kishore Kumar is considered as one of the best singers, please listen to this song.

4. Yeh Jo Mohabbat Hai - A fast paced song from the movie "Kati Patang", the way how Burman has used his instruments and interlude pieces are amazing.

In conclusion, I strongly recommend you to listen to R.D Burman's songs as I am sure you will love it and find his style of music direction amazing.

Dear all, it is with immense ple a sure I am writing this as it is my 50th blog !! I have been able to cross the Golden Jubilee after exactly seven months and ten days and it has been an incredible journey. I was first introduced to blogging and the world of blogs on 4th May 2018, by my dear father . Making me write blogs was on his radar for a long time as he thought it would help me improve my English writing skills, my observation skills and most of all, helping me organize and structure tasks. When I  started blogging, I would make many errors and my father would diligently and lovingly correct them. But now, I am happy to say that though I make errors while writing, I manage to fix most of them by myself. If you have ever wondered at any point what happens behind the scenes to make my blog, then here you are: 1. Deciding on a topic: Unlike other bloggers, I write about varied topics and deciding a subject is very crucial. I mostly follow a structured order of topics

Our world is being rampaged by the coronavirus(Covid-19) and new personal and social norms have been created in order to prevent the spread of the virus. As we are unsure whether if the virus will be eradicated or the fact that it may continue to remain on earth, we have to equip ourselves for the future in order to be able to live with it. In this blog which is the first of a duology, I will be looking at 3 normal features that we were accustomed to before the spread of the virus and how these features will be reshaped and remodeled in the future. I will also be giving my predictions on what we can expect from these changes in the future. 3 features of the ' Old Normal ' and how they will be modified for the ' New Normal '. 1. Wearing A Mask In Public Prior to the Covid-19 spread, it was not at all necessary to wear a mask in the public. Moreover, people who were sick were only encouraged to wear it. However, it is now made mandatory for everyone to wear a

Why Marketing Is So Crucial For Firms

Why Do Firms Need Marketing? Marketing is for firms what breath is for humans. Generally speaking, the 3 main reasons why entrepreneurs say the reason their company faced heavy losses is because it was either undercapitalized, employed the wrong people or the market conditions were bad. However, I would like to add a fourth point here which is poor marketing. Not only does effective and good marketing help a company sell its product thereby generating revenue, it also helps build indirect customer and business relationships and helps the company gain widespread fame and an increased customer base.  Types of Marketing : 1. Print Advertisements 2. Word of Mouth 3. Radio and Television Advertisements 4. Social Media Advertisements 5. Cause Marketing - Marketing that involves messages about social causes and activist messages 6. Relationship Marketing - Marketing campaigns that stress customer satisfaction more than sales transactions. The Advent of Digital Media Marketing Prior to the bir
