Feroz Khan.

Feroz Khan passed Monday early morning in Bangalore.

I remember him for three of his movies. During my school days he came in Safar (with Rajesh Khanna and Sharmila Tagore). He had a song there “Jo Tumko Ho Pasand Vahi Baat Kahenge”.

The next movie where I like both the movie and the character he played was Qurbani.

22

And then for a long time I did not watch any of his movies. Lately saw Welcome and reminded of him again.

A total entertainer.

Rajnigandha

That was the movie that I saw yesterday. It is based on the story by Mannu Bhanari. "Yehi Sach Hai".

 

You can read the story here.

The story is very much valid today. The songs are very melodious. You should go and listen them on you tube.

Main Characters.

Amol Palekar
Vidya Sinha
Dinesh Thakur
Rajnigandha

 

For the un-initiated people, Rajnigandha is a flower.

To see more read here or see the movie.

Songs Lyrics are by Yogesh. More about Yogesh Later.

Kai Baar Yun hi dekha hai (Mukesh)

Rajnigandha Phool Tumhari (Lata Mangeshkar)

Music is by Salil Chaudhary, A genius.

Disks->Tapes and Backup

Backups are integral for the survival of a company. There are times when backups have saved companies. But just like failed relationships are never highlighted during marriages, similarly companies never highlight that they came so close to "close", just that a good backup saved them.

But I think that the amount of data backed up and the proportion of it used actually should be fraction of 1%. So is there any other solution. Should we device technologies that can deliver the safety of a backup but avoid the capacity of storage backups.

 

The volumes of disks, tapes containing backups surpasses the amount of data that we generate for business operations.
