Regulars may have noticed that no song was discussed in the blog yesterday till late at night. It is not that I could not find time yesterday. The whole morning was available to me. Regulars may be noticing that I discuss one Suraiyya song every day which is often one of the first songs to be discussed for the day and that has been going on for the past three months.

THE VIBRANT 40s (Episode No. 11)
—————————————–

None of my series is complete without a song by/from C Ramchandra. This not only indicates my love for his songs, but also highlights that he composed a variety of songs to fit into any series.

==========
Genius of Jaidev
===========
In 1973 a producer named Ramesh Khosla was making a film, but the production was shelved due to his death. Jaidev had recorded few songs of Lata and Mukesh for that film. After a long long time, Robin Khosla, son of Ramesh, wrote a story line on Kashmir issue for a film called ‘Chand Grahan’, and accommodated those unreleased songs in the film. We do not know whether the film on that sensitive subject was ever made, passed censors and even released, but in 1997 the audio of this movie songs were finally released. It was 24 years after the demise of Mukesh and 10 years after the death of Jaidev, that these melodious songs saw the light of the day. Two of the Mukesh songs are already covered on this Blog. The presentation today, is one of the two Lata songs, from that film. Arun ji may shed some light on the star cast and some trivia about the film.

and

ae meri mohabbat ki motor
garij se nikal kar road pe aa
