The Golden Era of Dr.IR and Dr.SPB

[KV]

phew! backlog cleared! a list of eternal songs and some nice memories, app. Keep 'em coming!

"Apart from reminding me of the walkman listens, this also brings to mind the visits to Bangalore that started by the end of the year 1986 (the employer had HQ there). I used to visit / stay with a college wing-mate every now and then - when the company guest house room couldn't be booked for e.g....or even otherwise because his room was walkable, < 100 meters, from the middle point of Commercial street. Many of the Bangalore bachelors of 80's possibly recall this place called "Rubin House" close to commercial street supposedly run by a Jew. It was in that place that me and the friend (who lived there in a bachelor room) had talked a lot about this song one evening!"

My, my! Memories couldn't get more overlapping than this! Rubin house was enroute to my school (the one that was just a few yards away). As a kid, before getting my bicycle, I used to go by walk and sometimes with a couple of my friends. As a routine, while returning from school, we used to stop daily at Robin House to drink water (that had a distinct taste, probably a tank that was rarely cleaned) from an old tap they had inside. I was really fond of the old-world charm the building possessed with dimly lit rooms and a kind of serenity that it always seem to wear. Lovely place... enigmatic, poetic, nostalgic and serene. Alas, the place doesn't exist anymore . It was knocked down last year to make way for a pomp jewelry showroom. A piece of history torn off Dispensary Road. RIP. Thanks for bringing back all these memories, app.

App, RC, grouchy, great pointers on Vikram! The movie was really thrilling back then.. all the hi-tech stuff was pullaripps stuff!
And regarding Dimple, as an evidence of her popularity and craze among youth, here's a first-hand experience. My chithappa was/is a crazy fan of her's and had a big poster of her clad in a bikini () put up in his room! The poster stayed there till he got married, after which a baby's picture (with the words: god speaks to us through kids!) tooks its place! (I should've kept that poster with me, but sinna pulla, vevaram paththala. Damn!)
