Looking for old songs picturized in the desert, I was about to give up, and thought of switching to ‘dessert’ songs instead. 🙂 I have some more newer desert songs in my list, which I absolutely will discuss, having only explored the desert of Rajashtan, bhuj etc. What with Egypt and even Arizona dersert featuring in some songs, there is a lot still left to be covered. But listening to all those new songs, I got a little bored. Today I was thinking of taking a break from this series and discussing some thing else. That was when I found this Lata-Rafi duet from film “Sehra- 1963′. And ‘ sone pe suhaaga ‘ I found a Rafi solo too , not yet discussed in the blog, picturized in the desert. And hero is singing this song while performing acrobatics riding a Camel, no less. So this is what I call a desert-cum-dessert song. 🙂

It is a human nature that most top professionals would think that they are perfect in their professions, be it in the fields of sports or fine arts. Then why do we need coaches, guides, trainers etc ? A few years back, it looked odd to me to know that top seeded professional lawn tennis players have personal coaches. Some of the coaches may not have even played in any of the grand slam tournaments. Even in cricket, some of the teams’ coaches have not been top cricketers in their own national team. Now I know of two maxims in professional sportsman-coach relationship. First, all top players need not be perfect and coaches of these top players need not be top sportsmen in their fields. Second, the best coaches have the wherewithal to extract from the top professionals something more than the perfect which makes a vast difference in closely fought competition. This led me to think why not have a system of coaches (in Indian musical parlance, ‘guru’) for professional singers as well?

Traditionally, ghazals are supposed to be rendered in a soft voice and in a slow tempo to make the listeners understand the deep meaning behind each words. Ghazals rendered in an appropriate mood can awaken emotional feelings even in a stone-hearted person. Perhaps it was in these context that ghazals were sung in thumri style in the early 20th century, creating a melancholic mood and offering the opportunity for singers to emphasise on some specific words in the ghazals which were important in understanding the meaning in the ghazals. Singers like Begum Akhtar, Kamala Jharia, Master Madan, K C Dey, K L Saigal etc sang ghazals mostly in thumri style.

In India people are too quick to categorise communities. For example, they believe that every Marwadi must be Kanjoosh(stingy), every Gujrati must be a businessman, all Kashmiri women must be beautiful. All Parsees must be eccentric or all Sardarjees must be either in Army/ a carpenter or a Truck driver.
