Blog Day : |

It is said that a journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step. This is a Chinese saying which teaches us that even the longest and most difficult ventures have a starting point; something which begins with one first step.
We in the blog have been following this saying without realising it. If one song post is considered one step, then we took our first step on 19 July 2008. Today (8 February 2024) is the 5683rd day for the blog. With this post we take our 18200th step. Or to be more precise, this post is the 18200th post for the blog. The figure of 18200 is quite a mind boggling figure, but we were able to achieve it without putting us under any pressure. We just kept covering a few songs every day, kept celebrating important milestones, kept enjoying the journey, and now, here we are.
Looking back at our journey reveals several important facts about the blog as well as ourselves which may have escaped our attention. One of the observations that we can make is that it has not been a straight line journey. We have evolved and become more enlightened with time. We began on first gear. With time we kept shifting up the gear without realising it. After going in top gear for some time, we slowed down and settled down at a slower pace.
Whatever the pace of the blog during its journey, the blog has been in motion. It does not come to a standstill. At least one song gets covered every day.
This brings us to the second observation. There are quite a few people (regulars and even not so regulars) who look up to the blog first thing in the morning to find out the post(s) of the day. It has become a part of many lives like morning newspaper or morning tea/coffee. Then there are others who looked up to the blog daily for some other purpose. Like for instance there was this lady who opened up the post Jyoti kalash chhalke(Bhaabhi ki choodiyaan) every morning and would play the song to her grandkid. One morning, she found the link dead and she urgently posted this message:-
I put on this song every day for my baby grand-daughter…and today it says the video has been removed by the user….could you reinstate it please? It’e been so lovely to hear it…along with the lyrics…I learnt the song from your blogpost!
.
Not just ordinary music lovers, even people associated with music world, such as relatives of the artists, began to post comments. Some of them have become followers of the blog.
Many contributors to the blog discovered their latent talents (of being authors, historians, researchers, interviwers, media persons etc) while contributing to the blog. Our contributors have by now published books, appeared on TV show, hosted/ presented musical programmes, interviewed people connected with HFM, met HFM related celebrities etc. We also discovered that a few of our contributors were actually related to some HFM personalities !
It is interesting to note that majority of the contributors to the blog are not associated with HFM. Most of them are music lovers by hobby who made their livelihood in other fields. Majority of people in India are so busy earning their livelihood that they have no time to pursue their hobbies. That way the contributors of this blog are special who can find quality time to pursue their hobbies.
When one looks at the articles that have appeared in the blog, we find that the articles, in addition to covering songs, have also covered lots and lots of subjects. We have had articles touching subjects like history, mythology, pets, economy, sports, happiness index, war heroes, national builders, social reformers, ordinary people doing extraordinary work, Railways, milk revolution, festivals, etc. Some of these articles were quite indepth and contain information not easily available elsewhere.
During this musical journey, we all have added considerably to our knowledge. We have learnt new facts and realised that many facts that we took as facts have turned out to be incorrect. We have realised that there were many people with same/ similar names and the credits for songs were often given to the wrong person who shared the same name. This reminds me of the joke that “Murphy’s law was not given by Murphy but by another person of the same name.” 🙂
One of the most important side effect of the blog has been that we have got acquainted with each other. Many of us have got to know each other through personal visits. In addition to one to one meetings, we often have get togethers. We have coined a word of our own to describe these meetings. We call them “Gangouts”. We have had such gangouts in various places within India viz Mumbai, Delhi, Bangalore, Lucknow etc. Personally, I must say that this blog has helped me getting acquainted with some wonderful people. Getting to know them and interacting with them has been very enriching and fulfilling experience. The fact that sharing one particular hoppy can help open so many doors is something I never imagined possible when this blog had made its humble beginning in 2008.
These days, the blog is living upto its name “song a day”. Even with this slow pace, we are clocking centuries every alternate month which is quite a decent pace. We reach a century milestone, and then think that the next century is quite a way off. But soon enough the next century arrives and then I begin to wonder what song to cover as the century song.
I have selected a song from “Zingaaro”(1963) as the century song.
“Zingaaro”(1963) was directed by Chandakant for Jay Films, Bombay. This costume drama movie had Jairaj, Jabeen, Tiwari, Bela Bose, Laxmi Chhaaaya, Aruna Irani, Maruti, Mridula, Babu Raje, Poonam Kapoor, Baburao Pahalwan,Radheshyam, Moolchand, Ghani, Julien etc in it.
The blog has covered four songs out of six from the movie and then we stopped covering other songs because they were not available.
In addition to being available, even the details of the remaining two songs were not fully known.
HFGK doesnot mention the name of singers of this song and even gets the mukhda slightly wrong. Record number is not mentioned either. That is how rare this song was till recently.
Here is this rare song from “Zingaaro”(1963). This song is sung by Mahendra Kapoor and Asha Bhonsle. So we can fill in the blanks in HFGK.
Prem Dhawan is the lyricist. Music is composed by S N Tripathi.
Only audio of the song is available. I request our knowledgeable readers to throw light on the picturisation of this song.
This song is a nice “chhaayaageet” category of song that is ideal to listen to late at night when most people are asleep. Nowadays people keep awake till late at night, so the song may not have the same effect today, but listening to this song in 1960s at 10 PM must have been a magical experience. It is a forgotten gem of a song.
I take this opportunity to thanks one and all for their continuous support in various form which keeps fueling tis musical bandwagon which as a result is chugging on and on without stopping even for a day. Here is hoping that we keep moving on and on and we keep passing one milestone after another during this journey.
Song-Madhosh ho ke hum to lage dil ko thhaamne (Zingaaro)(1963) Singers-Asha Bhonsle, Mahendra Kapoor, Lyrics-Prem Dhawan, MD-S N Tripathi
Lyrics
hmmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
hmmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
aa haa haa haa
o ho o o
ho ho ho ho
aa haa haa haa

madhosh ho ke hum to lage dil ko thhaamne
ik chaand aasmaan pe hai
ik chaand saamne
o ho ho
kyun is tarah bahak rahe hain aap bin piye
kya kar diya hai kuchh nashaa nazar ke jaam ne
hmmm hmm hmm hmm hmm
hmmm hmm hmm
hmm hmm hmm
kyun na ho nashaa
aisee raat mein
aapkaa haseen bhi ho jab ke saath mein
chhodo dillagi
varna meharbaan
baithhe hi rahoge dil ko thhaame haathh mein
huzoor ek din
ahaa
ye dil to jaayegaa
aa aa
kahaan talak bhala ise sambhaalen hum
kyun is tarah bahak rahe hain aap bin piye
kya kar diya hai kuchh nashaa nazar ke jaam ne
taaron ke diye
jhilmilaa rahe
chaand pe bhi halke halke baadal aa rahe
chehre se zaraa
lat hataaiye
mere chaand pe bhi kaale saaye chhaa rahe
na aisa boliye
haaye
na aise dekhiye
ho
ke humko to na jaane kyun lage sharam
madhosh ho ke hum to lage dil ko thhaamne
ik chaand aasmaan pe hai
ik chaand saamne
aaaa
aaaa aaaa aaaa
la raa laa
laa raa laa aa
ru ru ru
ru ru ru u
ru ru ru
raa raa raa aa

Hearty Congratulations to Atul ji and members of this Bandwagon on reaching 18200 song posts.
I joined this Blog when it was a toddler of about 2-3 years and have been with it when the Blog is now in its Teens. I am a witness as well as its member who has seen its growth in different stages. Atul ji has described its growth period and people who contributed enthusiastically to its growth, without naming anyone. However, each one of us found himself where he fitted in your description. But that is not important.
What is important is that there are so many specialities of this Blog which, you being too modest , have not been highlighted. As I look at it, in comparison to other music based Blogs or musical groups on Internet, I find some unique qualities and features of this Blog, making it perhaps,” The World’s Best Blog for Hindi film and non film songs” !
Over the years, this Blog has earned a reputation for being one sure place to get dependable, authentic and detailed information on songs, singers and related factors like information and story of the film, Biographies of actors, directors, MDs and related artistes of Hindi films, song Lyrics etc.
The Blog is the first one to publish interviews of some close relatives of actors and importantly, the clarifications on ” Same Name Confusions”, a highly troublesome and hetherto unresearched problem of film history.
The Blog provides the maximum number of available songs of K.L. Saigal, Suraiya and few other singers, MDs, Lyricists etc. at one place. More than 18000 songs are available year wise, MD wise, and by Movie names. Anniversary dates of film people and artiste wise songs, songs under different categories and songs under more than 40 ” Special Series”. And all this “at one click at one place ” !
I can go on proudly describing the uniqueness of this Blog. However I feel, the greatest achievement is that the Blog has earned a reputation of being a ” Reference Point” for most film and music related information of Hindi films -Old and (now) New ones.
Now that the Blog is in its “Sweet Sixteen” stage, I wish it all the Best.
Proud to be a part of the Blog !
-AD
