Satyajit Ray inspires

Satyajit Ray was a film maker known for his eye for detail. Also, because of his fame, many people were inspired by him in many ways. Once, on a set he commented that the lighting was bad and a little dog in one corner of a shot was looking a little green. This observation of his was later made into a song based on miya-malhaar, which goes "Bole Ray puppy hara..."
