I promise to send him/her a 'rjgk-24' audio cassette released by (H)MVC ! ------------------------------------------------------------------- And now for RJGK-24............!!!!!! rjgk-24 theme is the first theme repeated in this quiz series. And which other artist is apt for a sequel than Lata Mangeshkar! A lot has been said about lata's voice dying down, about her personal life, controversies, but still no one can deny that Lata has been THE GREATEST and the most popular singer ever on the indian filmi-music scene. Lata Mangeshkar was born in a musically-inclined family, in September 1929. She had her first recording for a Marathi film, Kiti Hasaal in 1942, at a mere age of 13. Though, Lata started her hindi film singing career around in 1943, she received credits for the first time, only in the soundtrack of Khemchand Prakash's MAHAL. "Aayega aanewaala" was the first hindi song to have Lata Mangeshkar's name as the background vocalist.. and from thereon, rest is history. A history which spans 53 years of a remarkable singing career. Lata holds the record for the maximum songs sung in Hindi cinema. She has the maximum #1's in the Indian version of Annual Top 20, the Binaca Geetmala. Her "Golden Collection" is the highest sold among the GC series of HMV. No other singer has ever sung as many hits as has Lata Mangeshkar! Lata Mangeshkar has been praised for uncountable abilities, one of which, is her ability to "lend a voice". By "lending a voice", I mean that Lata modulates her voice slightly depending on whom the song is being picturized on.. For example, you could almost see a sad Madhubala when you hear "mohobbat ki jhooti kahani pe roye", or a joyous Waheeda Rehman when u hear lata saying "aaj phir jeene ki tamanna hai"... This is the quality of Lata 's voice which I have used for the theme of rjgk-24. RJGK-24 has 24 songs, i.e. 22 for Main Quiz and 2 Tie-breakers. The main quiz has lata singing for 22 different actresses. I have tried to include actresses from all the 5 decades (which means you can expect some new songs in here too). There is another theme involved here, which will unfold as you solve the main quiz. Also, many of the songs here are either not in ISB or are under erroneous stats. So ISB-surfing may not be a very paying exercise. (Also, I know my honorable rmim pals are so honest that they wont even touch ISB to solve the quiz (Yeahh Rightt!!!;) I'll try to supply the lyrics of the non-ISB songs after the quiz (u dont expect me to do it during the quiz, do u?) I have tried to set a very easy quiz. All songs here are popular tunes, with Lata singing either solos or duets. I have given some "Times of India crossy" type of cryptic clues, just for some timepass. Dont take them too seriously.. So without further ado, I'll let the shotgun GO !! *************** *The Main Quiz* *************** 1. Humko mili hai aaj ye, ghadiyaan naseeb se jee bharke dekh leejiye humko kareebse.
