If you would like to contact me, e-mail to chardsinger [at] yahoo.com. I also have a Facebook timeline, where I have been spending too much time. (But it is only partially like this blog in terms of subject matter.) Anyway, especially if you know me somewhat, and you are on Facebook, you might want to connect there. Send an e-mail so that we can talk more about it and maybe exchange URLs to "friend."

That’s a favourite song of my father’s (I love it too), because he thinks Uma Devi – before she became known to the riff-raff (!!) as Tun Tun – was a great singer. I think so too, but her birthday is in November…. so who could it be? Hmm. Now I can’t wait for the 11th!
Dustedoff, it’s always nice to hear about your father’s excellent taste in music. :)
The information that I’ve gotten is that Uma Devi’s death anniversary is in November and her birthday is July 11:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tun_Tun (Though note that they seem confused re. whether she died November 23 or November 24.)
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/obituaries/uma-devi-549102.html (confirming November 24 as her death anniversary)

One of my most favourite! :) Will try to upload her first film song then and entertain you and friends ;) Thanks for reminding!
Ah, okay… I seem to have been mistaken. Now I can’t wait for the 11th! :-)
Love Uma Devi!
Didn’t know about the existence of this song! Thanks, Richard!
If it wasn’t for her eyes (and the way she’s moving them even here) I would never have known this actress to be uma devi.
Yayyy! Today is 11th and am looking forward to your post. :)
Pacifist,
the actress above is Zeb Qureshi, not Uma Devi :p. Uma Devi is playback singer here. :P
Thanks for the info, Mr. Jinx. I was wondering, myself, who this actress was. And, oh, look, there’s more info about her here :
