Yo Sangeet ke duniya ke bhaio aur baheno!

What's the significance of July 4 ? Well, on July 4 1995, "Rmim"-Jhim Geeton Ki
or RJGK as it is popularly called, celebrates its second "Saalgirah" ! It has
been 2 years since the first RJGK was posted on this day in 1993 and we have
since had 24 quizzes at exactly 1 quiz per year. Thanks to all RMIMers for
making this quiz a success! 

In order to really understand what this saalgirah means, visualize Nazir
Hussain patting RJGK on the back and pointing to a portrait on the wall and
saying with tears in his eyes, "RJGK, aaj teri Ma zinda hoti to kitna KHush
hoti" !! :-)

Renu is organizing the special quiz on the occasion of the 25th RJGK. She has
decided to give a breather after Mahesh's latest quiz on Lata and will
therefore be posting it in a couple of weeks.

In the meantime, here's a brief history of RJGK. I have listed the organizers,
winners and the themes for each RJGK. The first 2 quizzes weren't set to any
particular theme. The concept of dedicating each RJGK to a particular
singer/MD/lyricist etc. was introduced by Abhay Avachat in RJGK 3. The next
major change was introduced by Nuts who introduced the two-tier system. The
second phase gave additional clues to complement the lines from songs. To
escape Renu's wrath :-) for not mentioning her name, let me say that Renu and
Sandeep were the first to modify Nuts' additional clue system by clubbing it
in the first phase itself and coming up with a single pot system.

We've had 24 quizzes over the past two years, one/per month. The dates shown
below are approximate. A copy of the first RJGK has been appended for those
who missed it earlier. All the quizzes can be accessed via my WWW home page.

One final thing. ALL quiz organizers claim that the MOST important thing is
participation. So, it is natural that we should have a prize for the RMIMer
who participated in the most number of RJGK's so far. So, the winner of the
award for participating in the most number of RJGK's or the guy who has
NOTHING BETTER TO DO IN LIFE :-) IS:

                                SAMI MOHAMMED !!

              (participated in 20 RJGK's and organized the other 4)

Hey, I even participated in Nitin's RJGK on Shanky-J. So, don't u think I
deserve some kind of award ??? :-) I was actually going to come up with the
top 5 list in terms of participation, but didn't get the time to do so :-(
Maybe, I'll do it later.

Sami Mohammed (A Naushad fan).... looking forward to RJGK 25!
