I don't know how many people have written about this but I am sure most of us have heard Manoj Kumar movie songs on 15th August or 26th January. It is hard for me to celebrate Independence Day without these songs. I have fond memories of growing up hearing these songs in my school days. When you are a kid feel for country and respect for its freedom fighter is high. I used to get goose bumps listening these songs. Those were the days of VCR and VHS tapes. Usually on such occasions our school used to run these patriotic movies on VCP (video player). I remember watching Manoj Kumar's Upkar and Purab aur Paschhim  it had a lasting impression on me for days the images form the films used to re-run into my head.   Manoj Kumar aka Bharat Kumar had spread the feel for the nation and ideals. In those days I was unaware that it's not Manoj who is singing but it is Mahendra Kapoor who is doing the task.  Mahendra Kapoor's voice perfectly matched Manoj Kumar's ima...

Recently, I came across a blog about Character Design which showcases interviews and galleries from the top artists in Animation, Movies, Games, Illustration and comics. It is great that people are writing on blogs on such relevant topics and that to be without a commercial benifit. usually, such insightful article and interviews are truned into books and sold at a price which ristrict the knowledge to a perticular group. keepup the good work! Randall Sly !! What more, there is a section where you can request to see a character designer of your wish to be interviewed. If you happen to be a character designer and want to show off your talent then you can send your portfolio for review and become a featured artist.
