It’s been a while since my last post here. And I feel pretty bad about it. Somehow, in the last month (or more), I’ve just not been able to generate the required mental juice to be able to come up with anything worth putting on paper (or on electronic media). Had Shakespeare been around and had one look at me, he’d have promptly coined something like “Listlessness, thou hast what human spirit conquer’d, For Man knoweth not whence he cometh, and where he goeth”.

A song awaiting to be posted for some time. One of the drafts that I lost a few weeks back when my computer had crashed. And now, here it is. A remarkable haunting melody, from the same composer who conjured up the refrain for “Kahin Deep Jaley Kahin Dil”. Maybe a lesser known and less often heard creation, nonetheless a melody that, once heard, will surely continue to echo through the corridors of the mind. When I had posted the song “Koi Bechaara. . .”, Derubala ji had specifically responded with a comment picking out this song as a favorite.

With Kundan Lal Saigal towering above every other male singing star and singer of his era, it was inevitable that many a new-comer tried to sing in the Saigal idiom in the 1940s. Mukesh got noticed sounding like Saigal in Dil jalta hai to jalne de in Pehli Nazar (1945); the self-confessed Saigal devotee Kishore Kumar sang Marne ki duaayen kyun maangoon in Ziddi (1948) and Jagmag-jagmag karta nikla chaand poonam ka pyaara in Ziddi (1949) in the Saigal style; C. H. Atma always sounded like Saigal.
