As I had mentioned in my post the day before, more news and information to share. Let me start by telling about the visitors we had in Delhi during the last four, five weeks. The first to come was Dr. M L Kapoor, from Suffolk, Virginia in the US. Dr. Kapoor is an avid lover of old Hindi films and film music. He is a diehard fan of Pankaj Mullick and Naushad. He has two cars, and the number plates of the cars carry the words ‘NAUSHAD’ and ‘PMULICK’. He is one of the guiding spirits behind the websites on KL Saigal, Pankaj Mullick and KC Dey. He is a doctor of internal medicine, now retired. His main area of interest is the films from New Theatres.

The Voice of Mukesh #9
——————————-

Now this song is really something. The scenario that is presented in these verses, is one that would be close to the hearts of every married couple with the caveat that they live in a joint family. (Those who do not live in a joint family, of any type, may discount this experience. 🙂 ). The song is about the moments of romance that a married couple can steal, maybe in the night, when all other members are blissfully asleep. The husband reaches out to his wife, and the wife complains about all the hard work she has to manage at home during the day. The husband placates her and tries to convince her that the household chores are no big deal and for him, and that for him, she still is as beautiful as the chirpy, naughty mynah bird.

I am on a different thought track today. I was thinking of the approaching birthday season in my family. Thats what I call it as 3 from a family of 4 have their birthdays in the 15 day period from 23rd December to 6th January. My daughter leads the pack and son (he is the older one) brings up the rear. So I was down memory lane thinking of the time when they had just begun to walk, talk, sing or dance etc. So that put me on to the song I want to discuss today. This was a song to which my one year old daughter first shook her leg for.

It is well known that the film that really launched the career of Mukesh was the 1945 film ‘Pehli Nazar’. And in this film, the most enduring sound has been the song “Dil Jalta Hai To Jalne De”, sung by Mukesh. Apart from this timeless and iconic song, Mukesh has sung three more song in this film. One more solo song, and two duets with Naseem Akhtar. The solo song is “Tai Kar Ke Badi Door Se Purpech Dagariyaa”, a light hearted song of a young heart in search of love.
