This is the second song of my trio of tribute to Mohammed Rafi sahab on the occassion of his 33rd Death Anniversary.
This song is chosen for its beginning with the alphabet ‘B’. It is a solo song from the obscure film called ‘Ghoonghat”(1946). There is no information on the imdb website about this film.

Truly, a man for all seasons, and a voice for all reasons. A person like him comes maybe once in a millennia. And a voice like his is probably a unique manifestation of God’s own will, maybe once in the sustenance of an entire creation. It seems as if the poet Iqbaal wrote his famous couplet for him, and him alone.

I am not really qualified to talk at length about Mohammed Rafi. I was lucky to be growing up during the 60s when the best of our music was all around me. Rafi was here, there and everywhere. He ruled the airwaves.

Today is the 33rd death anniversary of Mohammad Rafi. Or Rafi saab, as he is referred to, by many of his fans, including myself.
So what are my thoughts today?

Today (31 july 2013) is Mumtaz’s 66 th birth anniversary. I find it an interesting coincidence that her peak in Hindi movies coincided with the peak of Rajesh Khanna. Mumtaz bowed out of movie industry just as Rajesh Khanna lost his crown in mid 1970s.

Today (31 july 2013) is the 33rd death anniversary of Rafi (24 december 1924- 31 july 1980). This is the fifth such occasion for the blog in its five year’s existence. we devote this day to the memory of Rafi saab by discussing songs sung by him. And despite posting so many Rafi songs in the blo, we do not run short of his songs to discuss nor are we likely to run short of Rafi songs for the next several years.

Today (31 july 2013) is the 33rd death anniversary of Rafi(24 december 1924- 31 july 1980). Today is the day when we pay our heartfelt tribute to him. It is not that we do not remember him on the other days of the year except his anniversaries. Far from it. We in this blog have averaged more that one Rafi song a day for the five years and more that this blog has been in existence. In other words, we remember him everyday. He is in our thoughts everyday in almost every waking hours and sometimes in our sleeping hours as well in our dreams.
