The Sound of Music - revisited

Hari Om ! Radheshyam,

I know that you are a Cinema Buff for the "oldies".....'Bridge on the River Kwai',' The Great Escape', " Guns of Navarone','Singing in the Rain' and a host of other Musicals.
This is a year old but worth refreshing our memories when films were entertaining.
I read an article in yesterday's paper that your Friend, Shahrukh Khan has a movie, "My name is Khan", that is getting good reviews.Le's know when you see it.

All the best

Matt

40 Years on ......." The Sound of Music"

It wouldn't be funny if it weren't so true... Julie Andrews turned 69
and to commemorate her 69th birthday on October 1, actress/vocalist Julie
Andrews made a special appearance at Manhattan 's Radio City Music Hall
for the benefit of the AARP. One of the musical numbers she performed
was "My Favourite Things" from the legendary movie "The Sound Of Music."

Here are the actual lyrics she used:

Maalox and nose drops and needles for knitting,
Walkers and handrails and new dental fittings,
Bundles of magazines tied up in string,
These are a few of my favourite things.
Cadillac's and cataracts, and hearing aids and glasses,
Polident and Fixodent and false teeth in glasses,
Pacemakers, golf carts and porches with swings,
These are a few of my favourite things..
When the pipes leak, When the bones creak,
When the knees go bad,
I simply remember my favourite things,
And then I don't feel so bad.
Hot tea and crumpets and corn pads for bunions,
No spicy hot food or food cooked with onions,
Bathrobes and heating pads and hot meals they bring,
These are a few of my favourite things.
Back pains, confused brains, and no need for sinnin',
Thin bones and fractures and hair that is thinnin',
And we won't mention our short, shrunken frames,
When we remember our favourite things.
When the joints ache, When the hips break,
When the eyes grow dim,
Then I remember the great life I've had,
And then I don't feel so bad.


Ms. Andrews received a standing ovation from the crowd that lasted over
four minutes and repeated encores. Please share Ms. Andrews' clever wit
and humour with others who would appreciate it.

A THOUGHT TO PONDER

Let us so live that when we come to die, even the undertaker will be
sorry.
