Having stayed in Mumbai for over 60 years, I have a fair knowledge of Marathi but not as good as Hindi and English being my medium of instructions in school and college days respectively. In my younger days, I used to often listen to some non-filmy Marathi songs on the radio as also during some public functions like Ganesh festival. Of these, two Marathi songs which created interest in me to listen to more Marathi songs were “mee dolkar dolkar dolkar dariya cha raaja” ( I am a boatman, the king of sea) sung by Hemant Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar and “ne majsi ne matrabhumi laa, sagara praan talmal laa” (O sea, take me back to my motherland. My heart aches for her) sung by all the five Mangeshkars – Lata, Asha, Usha, Meena and Hridaynath. Both these songs were composed by Hridaynath Mangeshkar probably in the late 60s or early 70s. These two songs were my first introduction to Hridaynath Mangeshkar.
