Hello Music Lovers,
Here it is, the much awaited
(and much delayed) Gulzar quiz is now in front of you. The quiz was supposed
to be hosted around Gulzar saheb's B'Day (18th August) but but but...
Time never stops for you.
Swayam Gulzar saheb ne kaha hai ki 'Aane wala pal
jaane wala hai'. Kai pal beet gaye aur antatah ye quiz aapke saamne
hai. Now moving on to the quiz.
I named it VIVIDHA
due to its multi format structure and multimedia nature.
This quiz is framed in
7 different formats.
1.RimJhimGeetonKi (RJGK)
(Q 1 to 5)
2.Chitrahaar (Q 6 to 9)
3.Translator's NightMare
(Q 10 to 11)
4.Show Theme (Q 12 to 15)
5.NonFilmi Masala Mix (Q
16 to 20)
6.Pictoria (Q 21 to 24)
7.The Sound of Music (Q
25 to 28 (Non Competitive))
Format 1 to 4 are popular quiz formats on RMIM and RAMLI but for the benefit of Non-RMIMers, brief description is given with the questions. Format 6 and 7 represents the Multimedia formats of the quiz. I had my reservations about format 7 as many of you might not be able to participate in such formats, so I put it on a trial basis this time. I need your word about this format. If most of you go for it, We can have more question specilly RJGK format questions in audio format. One important point before you start, please read all questions carefully as the quiz is formed in various formats and answers of all the questions are not of the same type (In one of the sections Song Mukhda is required as answer, a singer name in another and Song Mukhda with Film Name in other one). Please be careful.
Please dont post the answers
on the net. Send your answers to pavanjha@gulzaronline.com.
The last date for sending
entries is 10th November, 1998.
Here we go!!!

RJGK SECTION
RJGK or "Rmim"-Jhim Geeton Ki is a regular quiz series on RMIM. Here's an excerpt from the first RJGK which describes it: Here's how the quiz goes: You don't need to name a singer, actor, lyricist, MD etc. All you have to do is to IDENTIFY the song. The clues given below are lines occuring somewhere in the song (not necessarily the opening stanza or the opening line of any other stanza) and some hints about the song. 1.

10-11 Translator's Nightmare Quiz Here are the rules: 1. The main clues consist
of English rhymes that are free translations (the "free" is important here!)
of the "mukhdaa" of the song or of prominent portion of the song . These
are not meant as definitive translations, but only as pointers: the attempt
is to give the general feel of the song while using as many directly translated
words as I can.
A lovely
song from a homely movie. RD's composition Sung by Kishore Kumar.
Name

Gulzar
has experimented with the Moon many times in his songs. Every time he has
given a new scope to the moon in his poetry. Yashwant Vyas in the preface
of one of the Gulzar poetry collection(???) has written about the Chaand-prem
