have no idea what song. But how about a murabba (a sweet pickle) made
of specially chosen (chun chun ke) mangoes
The phrase ' chuuN chuuN kaa marabbaa' comes in his song:
'chup ho jaa amiiroN ke ye sone kii gha.Dii hai'
Oh! Thanks - if it a phrase then it has a different meaning .
Please let me know .

I dont know if I am wrong but Kishore ( Rajendra Krishna ) meant - a
person without proper identity
kcp
We also use it to classify a film actor who Always-Weeping roles, like
A K Hangal, Manmohan Krishan
Sudhir
----------------------------------------
just a doubt : Is there any meaning to the word "Krishan". If it tends
to mean Lord Krishna , I think most people use Kishan or Kisan

Thanks , your answer is very convincing
when compared to the song .

Hi KCP,
The north Indians.... ok ok, this has nothing to do with the inane politics
of regional parochialism...... usually spell names in a different way.
Maybe, its more to do with local dialect.
Rajendra becomes Rajinder.
Devendra is Devinder.
Krishna is Krishen
Indra is Inder
Jeetendra is Jeetender or even Jatinder.
Just as we hear some people who cannot pronounce School, so they utter
ISKOOL.
Style becomes Istyle.
Somehow I couldn't understand why south Indians say toda toda(break) for
Thoda (little) in Hindi but their names have that TH effect as in Anitha,
Sunitha, Kavitha, Sathish.

chuuN chuuN kaa murabaah...As you all know, "murabbah" means "jam",
which is usually made of one fruit normally or two or more fruits at
other times. chuuN chuuN kaa murabbah, however, is a bit of a mixed
bag, an ill-assorted one at that. One English equivalent might
be..."odds and ends". I am sorry I can not help any further not
knowing the song in question.
Naseer
SEETHA or GEETHA or even SEETHA-GEETHA
Yes, the names got to have 'H' to make it South Indian
I got brain-washed to such an extent, that even 30 years later, still
pronounce the film name as - Seetha Aur Geetha
Sudhir
p.s.: The word 'Choon Choon' means little noises, e.g.
Choon Choon Choon Chidiyan Chug Gayi Khet To Phir
Na Kehna
Mummy, Yuon Phir Na Kahna
wordings are from the song: Aamdani Aathani Kharcha Rupaiya from film
TEEN BAHURANIYAN / Klayanji Anandji / Anand Bakshi
--------------------------------------------------------
It's true that 'chooN chooN' is used to refer to the noises
made by little birds, but I do not think that's what 'chooN
chooN kaa murabba' refers to.
I think 'chooN chooN kaa murabba', as pointed out by
Naseer saahib, refers to a hodge podge or an ill-assorted
mixture of things. It is easy to see how this description
might fit actors who appeared in various various one-bit/
two-bit parts in films -- chhoTe-moTe roles that are to
be found "lying around" in various parts of the movies.

My explanation is quite accurate. I am from Punjab and have used
the saying few times
Sudhir
---------------------------------------------------------
I am also from Panjab and have heard and used this expression for
crying and weepy children often.
Not always true. Depends on the position of the "h".
Siva
Sastry
Srinivas
just to name a few have an additional h in the north.
Shiva
Shastry
Shrinivas
The "sh" effect is even more prominent in the east
"Chun Chun Ka Murraba" is an Urdu idiom which means
junk, trash, jumbled or hodgebodge.

Dr. Singh and Maildrop-ji,
Surely you are not trying to suggest, are you, that 'chooN chooN
kaa murabba' *only* means what you two gentlemen have come
across in the Punjab? Surely you're not implying that the meaning
you have come across is the one and only true meaning of this
phrase?
-UVR.
No. Not at all.
>
> -UVR.
I would rather say, that the meaning:of this phrase is:
'Paththar Te Leek Ae'
Even Miss Billo will second me by saying:
'Theek Ae'
Message re-worded from the song:
Aj Sonde Kapde Te Chunni Vi Bareek Ae
Anjh Mainu Jaape, Tenu Mayi Di Udeek Ae
Kyun N Billo Theek Ae
Paththar Te Leek Ae
Film: KODAY SHAH (Punjabi) - early 50s
