Bobby (1973 film)

Bobby is a 1973 Bollywood romantic film directed by Raj Kapoor. The film was widely popular, and widely imitated. It also represented the film début for Dimple Kapadia and the first leading role for Raj Kapoor's son, Rishi Kapoor.

The movie is known to be a trend-setter in its own right. It introduced in Bollywood the genre of teenage romance with a rich-vs-poor clash as a backdrop. Numerous movies in the following years were inspired by this plot.

Indiatimes Movies ranks the movie amongst the Top 25 Must See Bollywood Films. The film became a "blockbuster" and was the top grossing hit of 1973, and also became the second top grossing hit of the 1970s.

Plot

The film is a story about the love between two Mumbai teenagers of different classes – Raj Nath (Rishi Kapoor), son of a rich businessman Mr. Nath (played by Pran), and Bobby Braganza (Dimple Kapadia), daughter of a poor Goan Christian fisherman Jack Braganza (played by Prem Nath).

The couple first sees each other during Raj's birthday party, and meet when Raj goes to see his old governess, Mrs. Braganza. There, he sees her granddaughter Bobby, and it is love at first sight for him. Raj and Bobby go to see a movie but find out it is closed. Then Raj gets an idea to go to a party. At the party Bobby sees Raj talking to another girl and thinks he is using her. As the story progresses, Raj realises that his relationship with the daughter of a poor fisherman is not taken kindly by his eccentric father. Upon Raj's insistence, Mr. Nath visits Jack to initiate talks of Raj and Bobby's wedding. But instead, Mr. Nath accuses Jack of using his daughter's beauty and charm to trap Raja for his money. He even offers Jack cash to have Bobby stop seeing Raj. Jack feels highly humiliated by this accusation and reciprocates by insulting Mr. Nath. Their talk enters a deadlock and spells doom for Raja and Bobby's tender love.

Bobby (rapper)

Kim Ji-won (Hangul: 김지원), better known by his stage name Bobby (Hangul: 바비), is a South Korean rapper and member of the YG Entertainment group IKON, formerly known as Team B in the 2013 Mnet reality-survival program Who is Next:WIN.

Bobby was born in Seoul, South Korea but was raised in Fairfax, Virginia, United States.

Prior to his official debut, Bobby was the crowned the champion of the third season of Mnet's rap survival program "Show Me the Money." Bobby also appeared in the survival program "MIX & MATCH" with fellow iKON members B.I, Jinhwan, Junhoe, Donghyuk, Yunhyeong and Chanwoo in 2014 before his official debut.

Life and career

Bobby was publicly introduced as a YG trainee in the first episode of the survival show "WIN: Who is Next?". He was a member of the six member "Team B," who ultimately lost the competition and failed to become YG's next boy group named Winner. After "WIN," Bobby, along with the Team B members, made a cameo appearance in Taeyang's Ringa Linga music video. Bobby also contributed to the lyrics for Winner's title track "Empty" along with Song Min-ho and iKON's leader B.I.

Police officer

A police officer (also known as a policeman or police agent in some forces, particularly in the United Kingdom and other Commonwealth nations) is a warranted law employee of a police force. In the United States, "officer" usually is the formal name of the lowest police rank. In many other countries, "officer" is a generic term not specifying a particular rank, and the lowest rank is often "constable". In some nations the use of the rank "officer" is legally reserved for military personnel. Police officers are generally charged with the apprehension of criminals and the prevention and detection of crime, protection and assistance of the general public, and the maintenance of public order. Police officers may be sworn to an oath, and have the power to arrest people and detain them for a limited time, along with other duties and powers. Some police officers may also be trained in special duties, such as counter-terrorism, surveillance, child protection, VIP protection, civil law enforcement, and investigation techniques into major crime including fraud, rape, murder, and drug trafficking. Although many police officers wear a corresponding uniform, some police officers are plain-clothed in order to dissimulate as ordinary citizens.

BOBBY (band)

BOBBY is a cooperative musical project based on the talents of musicians from Partisan Records and Knitting Factory Records which is notable for achieving an avant garde alternative sound using polyrhythm as well as achieving critical acclaim before releasing their first album entitled Bobby. They signed a contract with Partisan Records in 2010.

Beginnings

With the exception of Menuez––who attended Hampshire College––group members were students at Bennington College who moved into a remote house in western Massachusetts in the town of Montague. Tom Greenberg was the founder, according to several sources. Greenberg brought in musical friends including Martin Zimmermann, who had been heavily influenced by Bennington teacher and jazz percussionist Milford Graves. The group was a "loose collective" emerging from "a broken social scene of Bennington College pals," according to one account, and as a "grab bag of college friends and label mates" by a second account.

The name Bobby does not describe an actual person but rather a fictional character who was a "wayward founding member" who never played with the band but whose "spirit lingers over the project." One account suggests BOBBY was the name of a "bad dancer" who was the fictional friend of Tom Greenberg, and in the spring of 2010, Greenberg composed songs for his imaginary friend Bobby to dance to. After using the name BOBBY, the group encountered book artist Keith Smith's 1985 publication "BOBBY," which described an imaginary friend by the same name BOBBY. Smith granted permission for the group BOBBY to feature pieces of his book BOBBY for their album artwork. One reviewer tried googling the word Bobby only to find it "un-Googleable" since it is not a unique name.

Bobby (software)

The original Bobby was a free online tool, written by Josh Krieger and provided by the Centre for Applied Special Technology (CAST) used to validate websites for WAI and Section 508 compliance. Launched in 1995, it became well known for the usage of the Bobby Approved icon that website authors could use to indicate they have successfully passed the Bobby online test.

The CAST tool was officially closed on May 1, 2005. However, the Bobby name lives on in Watchfire Corporation's Watchfire Bobby program. Watchfire provided the same free service that CAST did with Bobby in their Watchfire WebXACT tool. Watchfire's current offering, now part of an IBM suite described below, tests pages of web content for quality, accessibility and privacy issues.

The free tool was officially closed by the owners, IBM, on February 1, 2008. The software is now available as part of IBM's Rational Policy Tester Accessibility Edition.

Currently, the Web Accessibility Evaluation Tool (WAVE) provides this free service at wave.webaim.org.
