All Out...The mosquito repellent story



Remember those All Out days???


The initial days of the mosquito repellent wave in the country. It was such a relief from the choking kachua chaap coils and mosquito nets! However, no one addressed those automatic liquid filled machines as mosquito repellent..It was 'All out taa lagie de' or 'All out laga do' etc. The languages varied,not the expressions. 

Remember the first All Out advertisement that appeared on television? That machine with a tongue 😛 that attacked and killed the mosquitoes, the Japanese man doing monkey see monkey do type of a thing 🤣 

Wow! Good old days! Memories of sleeping aaram se without the 'Moshari' or mosquito nets. Wasn't it some kind of a freedom for all of us ?  Inconsequential,yet such  soul stirring experiences that made up our growing up days!


The eighties and nineties kids surely experienced the massive change that the country underwent in terms of products, brands, technology. The transition from a simple to a more tech savvy product made us wonder. The new world was indeed years away then but we experienced the tiniest of change with much excitement and joy. 

How the entire country suddenly got used to new beginnings was in itself an experience. From the young to the old, all and sundry embraced the changes with open hands. India slowly became an important market to the foreign brands and there has been no looking back since. 

As they say... Change is the only constant.

Yaad aa raha hai Bappi Da



Yaad aa raha hai manjile apni jagah hai raste apni jagah. Chalte chalte Pyar kabhi kam nahi karna. Humko aaj kal hain intezar kyounki Raat baki baat baki hona hai jo ho jane do.
Goro ki na Kalo ki duniya hai dilwalo ki... Jekhanei thako sukhe thako Bappi Da 🙋



This eighties kid will always remember you for your music. You were an integral part of every celebration that we attended as kids. Still remember myself dancing to disco dancer song at birthday parties & those christmas parties. 

Your death news brought back innumerable childhood memories for this hindi movie buff and I just realised how much your music influenced our growing up years! 

Aa gaya AA gaya halwa wala aa gaya was a favourite of us siblings. Kasam paida karne wale ki gave us goosebumps.  Every time we saw someone in red dupatta those days we would sing O lal dupatte wali Tera naam to bata . How we loved Madhuri Dixit's enticing moves in Humko aajkal hai intezaar! Watching Amitabh emote in the songs of Sharaabi is a treat forever. 

Your songs were one of the reason I watched Disco Dancer more than thirty times as a kid. 

And the best part... even Biryani loves Yaad raha hai tera pyaar so much that she and I sing the song almost every day while we try to copy Mithun Dad's steps.  That's the quality of great musicians... Their music is evergreen and passes on to generations. 

Tumi amader Amar Sangi hoe thakbe... 💖 Make the Gods groove to your disco beats up there now 🥰
