Renowned Hindi satirist Gopal Chaturvedi dead
Lucknow: Renowned Hindi satirist and literary figure Gopal Chaturvedi passed away on Friday at the age of 84, just six days after the death of his wife Nisha Chaturvedi. Born in Lucknow in 1942, Chaturvedi later settled in Dewas. He completed his intermediate studies at Scindia College and graduated from Hamidia College, Bhopal, before pursuing his Master's in English Literature from Allahabad University. A prolific writer, Chaturvedi was known for his sharp wit and incisive social commentary. His notable works include 'Afsar Ki Maut', 'Aadmi Aur Gidd', 'Jugaadpur Ke Jugaadu', 'Dum Ki Wapsi', 'Ganga Se Gatar Tak', and 'Dhoop Ki Talash'. His contributions to Hindi literature were recognised with several prestigious awards, including Vyangshree, Akhil Bhartiye Bhasha Sammelam award, Yash Bharti award, and the Sharad Joshi award from the govt of Madhya Pradesh. "He couldn't bear the loss of my mother," said his daughter Swati Chaturvedi, a well-known journalist and author. The literary community mourned his loss, with noted poet Sarvesh Asthana remembering him as "a humble and gentle soul".

Bollywood rain songs: When rain stayed in the background, emotions took centre stage
Hindi music has often used the rain imagery to evoke drama onscreen. Rain often brings a sense of joy and nostalgia, coaxing us to hum melodies about saawan, bijli, baadal, barkha, and bahaar. It deepens the emotional drama of a scene, and sometimes says what words can't. "Rain is more than just visual. It becomes an expression, a mood, even a metaphor, depending on the scene," says cinematographer Nigam Bomzan (The Family Man 1, Marjaavan, The Empire, Jism 2). 'Rain has to be a character and not just a backdrop. It gives you a lot more than what the scene or actors are trying to tell you.' Kavita Seth echoes a similar sentiment when she says, 'To the educated and sensitive audience, romance of the rains lies in unearthing hidden meanings in lyrics that are connected with Nature.' From heartbreak to healing, freedom to desire, rain elevates a song's impact — often without the lyrics ever mentioning a single drop. As Nigam points out, 'Sometimes you don't even need background score when you have rain. You just place the boy, the girl, and the rain, like Mohit Suri did in Aashiqui 2. That's enough.' As Haruki Murakami once wrote, 'Look at the rain long enough… you gradually feel your body falling loose, shaking free of the world of reality.' Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like This Could Be the Best Time to Trade Gold in 5 Years IC Markets Learn More Undo by Taboola by Taboola That hypnotic quality defines cinema's enduring romance with rain — a romance that, as Raveena Tandon once said, 'will never lose its charm.' Pyaar Hua Ikraar Hua (Shree 420, 1955) Filmed on Raj Kapoor and Nargis, this Shankar–Jaikishen composition, voiced by Manna Dey and Lata Mangeshkar, perfectly captures the essence of love. Rain plays a perfect matchmaker here. The iconic image of Kapoor and Nargis sharing a tender moment under a shared umbrella in the song became the template for countless rain sequences in Bollywood that followed. Bhaage Re Mann (Chameli, 2004) A rain-drenched dance of release and reflection. Sunidhi Chauhan's mellow vocals and Kareena Kapoor Khan's fluid movement under falling drops combine to create a deeply serene, almost meditative experience. With each listen, the song urges you to step out and dance in the rain. Kaate Nahi Kat Te (Mr. India, 1987) In an era when Indian films often used bobbing flowers as a metaphor for passion, rain songs emerged as a bolder and more sensual alternative. Kaate Nahi Kat Te features Sridevi in her trademark chiffon sari, evoking splendour and sensuality. Combined with Javed Akhtar's evocative lyrics, the rain setting beautifully amplifies the longing and romantic intensity. Kyunki Tum Hi Ho (Aashiqui 2, 2013) One of the most memorable recent rain scenes shows Aditya Roy Kapur and Shraddha Kapoor sharing a romantic moment under a coat on the streets of Mumbai. While it may not quite match the magic of Pyaar Hua Ikraar Hua, it still offers a powerful, rain-soaked romantic number for contemporary Bollywood fans. Tum Se Hi (Jab We Met, 2007) Mohit Chauhan's composition carries the romance, with Kareena Kapoor and Shahid Kapoor drenched in rain, celebrating love through imagination and rain-burnished emotion. Dilbara Dilbara (Dhoom, 2004) Not all rain sequences are romantic. Esha Deol and Uday Chopra, in a playful rain-dance amidst car repairs, use rain to invite joy and spontaneity—adding lighthearted mischief that contrasts with traditional themes. Mana Ki Hum Yaar Na (Meri Pyaari Bindu, 2017) Like love, rain is unpredictable. It can whisper or roar, tease or console, hide or reveal. It makes ordinary streets sparkle, slows down racing hearts, and turns the simple act of getting soaked into a million stories of longing, laughter and sometimes even heartbreak, as in this Sachin-Jigar composition. Kausar Munir has beautifully penned the song. Mere Khwaabon Mein Jo (DDLJ, 1995) Hindi cinema doesn't only want you sitting in one place and pontificating about life. It also wants you to go out on the streets and experience the rain in its gusty, splashy, unpredictable madness, like Kajol does in Aditya Chopra's Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge as she tells her mother about the man of her dreams in Jatin-Lalit composition Mere Khwaabon Mein Jo. Janam Janam (Dilwale, 2015) Shah Rukh Khan and Kajol echo the Raj Kapoor–Nargis umbrella scene from Pyaar Hua, updated for modern audiences. Sung by Arijit Singh, this song rekindles nostalgia with Pritam's composition and Amitabh Bhattacharya's lyrics. Taal Se Taal Mila (Taal, 1999) Alka Yagnik and Udit Narayan's duet, backed by AR Rahman's blend of classical and modern beats, makes the monsoon feel like music you have to move to and completely lose yourself in its rhythm. Chori Chori Jab Nazrein Mili (Kareeb, 1998) A romantic rain song from the 1998 film Kareeb, directed by Vidhu Vinod Chopra, is sung by Kumar Sanu and Sanjivani, with music by Anu Malik. The song pulls you into a world where love is everything and easily becomes a monsoon favourite you'll want to play on repeat.
