RMIM ke bhaio aur baheno, Aadaab arz hai! Thanks to the Sharjah cup telecast, my schedule is in doldrums. I'm not able to decide whether to sleep during the day or at night. As a result, the results of "Rmim"-Jhim Geeton Ki 8 - R.D.Burman special were delayed by a couple of days. My apologies for that. First of all I'd like to thank the following participants for making the quiz a success. The response was tremendous, and the time spent compiling and conducting this quiz was well rewarded. In all, there were 28 participants, which is pretty good for an RJ quiz. List of participants (in the order I recd. the responses): Anand Chakravarty monish@neumann.cba.csuohio.edu (Monish Aggarwal) anurag.acharya@cs.cmu.edu "ayub (a.) mohammed" SVE6324@ZEUS.TAMU.EDU Manish "Mr. Mahesh Chaubal" raj@tsms.tandem.com patil@cs.wisc.edu (Harish Patil) ani@verity.com (Aniruddha Deglurkar) Swagato Basumallick mehpp@attme.cnet.att.com (Hariharan P. Panamanna) Renu Thamma pagey@vlsi.concordia.ca (Sandeep Pagey) lale@cent.gud.siemens.co.at (Lale Shripad) porky_looky_4_worky KAYEEDA JOHAR THAKUR_D@bms.com (T.Dinesh Singh) Vivek Vohra pradeep@watson.ibm.com (Pradeep Dubey) TEREDENA@UCBEH.SAN.UC.EDU "Anita T. Dhir" Atul Deshmukh Ashish S Bokil Charu Varshney Milind Dawande avachat@sun3.mch.sni.de (Abhay Avachat) sjoshi@eng.clemson.edu (SanJoe) I hope each one of you (except Charu, my reply to whom bounced back) recd. the acknowledgment which I mailed individually. I also hope that I haven't missed anyone. Now down to the winners. The maximum score this time was 22 out of a possible 25. I am listing the top 5 scorers, although the others were not far behind. Total score/25 = score/23 + 1st tie-breaker + 2nd tie-breaker 5. Vivek Vohra 17 = 17 + 0 + 0 Pradeep Dubey 17 = 17 + 0 + 0 4. Ashish Bokil 18 = 18 + 0 + 0 Harish Patil 18 = 18 + 0 + 0 Anita Dhir 18 = 18 + 0 + 0 3.3 Manish 19 = 19 + 0 + 0 3.2 Porky 19 = 18 + 1 + 0 3.1 Raj 19 = 17 + 1 + 1 2. SanJoe 20 = 19 + 1 + 0 In order to decide the winner, I was in a dilemma. 2 contestans scored 22/25. However, one of them scored 22/23 and didn't crack the tie-breakers, while the other could get 21/23 + 1 tie-breaker. I couldn't decide whether the tie-breaker should be used or not because there was no tie as far as the first 23 songs were concerned. But, on the other hand the second person had cracked one of the tie-breakers which, IMHO, was more difficult than the first 23 songs and I had not specifically mentioned that the tie-breakers would be used ONLY IF there was a tie in the first 23 songs. I therefore, presented the case in front of a jury comprising Satish Subramanian, Ashish Bokil, Renu Thamma, Mr. Mahesh Chaubal and Dr. Porky Bhat on #Sangeet (IRC). After much deliberation, the jury was deadlocked and decided to declare it a tie...... AND THE WINNERS ARE................ ****************************************************************************** 1. ANIRUDDHA DEGLURKAR 22 = 22 + 0 + 0 & CHARU VARSHNEY 22 = 21 + 1 + 0 ******************************************************************************* CONGRATS ANI & CHARU FOR WINNING RJ8 - THE R.D.

KK in Kati Patang As expected, everyone got this right. 2. Ye armaaN hai shor nahin ho, KHamoshi ke mele ho...... Is duniya me koi nahin ho, hum dono hi akele hon Chehra hai ya chaand khila hai......... KK in Saagar Most people got this right. 3. Aisa to kabhi soncha hi nahin, ye pyaar hai itna pyaara... Aa hi gaee main, baahon me teri, dilne yun dil ko pukara Pyaar me dil pe maar de goli, lele meri jaan.....

Lata in Ghar This was the trick question as #8 and #23 are the lines from the same song, in fact they are from the same stanza ! Those who failed to crack this song, lost both the clues. 9. Main jo nahin haari, sajan zara soncho, kis lie, kis lie.... Aaja piya tohe pyaar dun....... Lata in Baharon ke Sapne I was pleasantly surprised to find a lot of people answer this correctly. 10.

KK in Kaalia I was disappointed that not many people cud identify this superb KK song. 17. Dekho mujhe sar se quadam tak, sirf pyaar hun main....... Gale se lagalo ke tumhaara, beqaraar hun main Tum bin jaaun kahan, ke duniya me aake........ Rafi in Pyaar ka Mausam I was tempted to award an extra point to Ashish here because he was the only one who pointed out that this is the (better :-) ) Rafi version of the song and not the KK version. 18. Aur bhi GHusse me khile tu hasina, sonchle tere bina mera kya hai jeena... Are, ha ha ha ha ha ha Jaana O meri jaana, main hun tere KHwabon ka raaja.....

Rafi in Abhilasha This was perhaps the most difficult one. Only Pradeep and Anita managed to answer it correctly. 22. JhooTHa hai ye GHussa tera sacha nahin, sachhe premi ko taRpana achha nahin..... Waapas na aaunga, main jo chala jaaunga ye teri galiyan chhoRke Kanchi re kanchi re, preet meri saanchi..... Lata/KK in Hare Rama Hare Krishna Everyone except Ashish got this.... Ashish ye kya ho raha hai ? Dev Sahab naaraaz ho jaenge :-) 23. Din me kuch hota aur raat me kuch hota hai........ Thaam lena jo kabhi dekho hume, uRte hue Aajkal paaon zamin per nahin paRte mere........ Lata in Ghar Same as #8 above. TIE-BREAKERS 24. Raina nahin apni, par apna hoga kal ka sawera...... Chunri sambhaal gori, uRi chali jae re..... Manna Dey/Lata et al in Baharon ke Sapne Only 6 correct answers (Monish, Raj, Renu, Porky, Charu & SanJoe) 25. Main jeevan chhoRdun, chhoRun na main teri galiyaan....... Jab tak rahe tan me jiya, waada raha O saathia.... Asha in Samadhi Only 2 guys, Raj & Lale Shripad could crack this one. This is an excellent song by Asha Bhosale. Also, Raj was the only person to get both the tie-breakers! Raj, the MD of Samadhi is indeed R.D. and not S.D. That's all folks! Thanks to all the participants once more and congrats to the winners. Hope we can have more RJ quizzes on other themes. It's always fun to compile and conduct them, although it requires a lot of time. But, thanks to the wonderful response, the time spent was well worth it! Sami Mohammed (A Naushad fan).... who thoroughly enjoyed conducting the R.D. special, and wishes to dedicate it to the memory of the late maestro.
