1. Cheers indeed..but if you want to see the ultimate state of detachment, you might want to check out the non-guru of Dev Anandji’s brother Vijay Anand -> U G Krishnamurti Oh boy..we have such divinity amongst us, but cannot recognize it.

2. The Day
   The Man
   So Dear to so many of us …
   Dev Anand your uncle’s 85 Birthday

   Happy Birthday
   Happpyyy Birthdayyy

   Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.
   It turns what we have into enough & more
   It turn denial into acceptance,
   chaos to order, confusion to clarity.
   Gratitude makes sense of our past,
   brings peace for today
   &
   creates a vision for tomorrow
   In appreciation of our association
   during this short life
   we extend our
   love, life, laughter
   forever.
   Yeh Janam Din aap ko bahut bahut muabark ho…
   Hum sabh ki yeh hi dua hai
   aap jiyon millions saal, aur saal ke din ho millions…
   Wishing you our most Beloved all the best in this life

5. I congratulate you for making a film on ‘WATER’ which I hope will be an eye openning for the massses.

   Truly, Navketan films right upto Tere Mere Sapne were a collective expression of the finest talent pool available to Hindi cinema and it was who Dev Anand brought them all together. He had an eye for talent. Slowly it all petered away but the music remained hummable even in the later films like Censor.
   Vijay Anand and SD Burman are the ones who need to be remembered whenever we think of the eternal melodies that came from the banner(RD Burman later was great, but he could not capture the soul of Burmanda). Music is something that is so subtle that many a times its nuances can only be discerned and absorbed by the mind and not represented on screen. When you hear a deeply introspective song like ‘Wahan kaun hai tera’ you cannot imagine anyone could depict the soul of the song on celluloid. Yet, Vijay Anand does it and he does it again for ‘Piya Tose Naina Laage Re’. It was an amazing synergy between these two artists.
   Let me sign off with my current favourite Dev Anand song. It is not picturised on him, but is from his film, the lesser known ‘House no 44’ and somehow to me represents the spirit of Dev Anand. The song is such that it never ceases to lift you off into the sky. ‘Phaili Hui Hain Sapno Ki Baahen’. Lyrics: Sahir Ludhianvi, Music: Sachin Dev Burman.
   Here is the link. Enjoy!

   P.S Shekhar, I apologise for taking the focus off your other issues. But since you dedicated a thread I dared to take the liberty.

7. what a genius.. i am an ardent fan.
   happy birthday, shivani

8. A belated HAPPY BIRTHDAY, dear,dear Uncle Dev.Now this is from another family member…someone who has spent a few memorable evenings with him when many other of his nephews…many many years younger than him, have also been present.
   His presence, his energy,his zest for life and above all his completly unique style,is to be experienced to know that he truly is a “STAR”.He does’nt sell advertisements and commercials to get that Big Dev added to his name!
   Anyway,getting back to these memorable evenings which stretched beyond dinner time,had most nephews yawning but not the indefatigable Uncle Dev who would be so full of life.Carry on Uncle Dev–GOD’S BLESSINGS AND KNOW THAT this “Star”is loved.
