Mahipal, a name that is so familiar as the actor behind the ‘Raaj Kavi Diwaakar’ in V Shantaram’s ‘Navrang’ (1959), as the healer Zabak in Basant Picture film ‘Zabak’ (1961), or the swashbuckling swordsman Paras in Movieland’s film ‘Parasmani’ (1963), and many more characters played by him in films with historical, mythological and religious themes. But not many people know that Mahipal Chandra Bhandari, a young lad of 23 from Jodhpur, made his debut in films both as an actor and a poet. His first film as an actor, ‘Nazraana’ (1942), a twin production in Hindi and Maarwari, turned out to be a flop, and it would not be for another 8 years, till 1950, that he would catch the attention of the industry and the audience alike, as a performer on the screen. But in the interim, his talent and his childhood interest is writing poetry, kept him busy writing lyrics for films like ‘Maali’ (1944) and ‘Aap Ki Sewa Mein’ (1947).

It is said that making people laugh is serious business. Just because some people who make others laugh does not mean that they are not capable of being serious. On the contrary, such people are capable of being serious and sensitive too.

This article is the 6000th song post in the blog. This article is the 1000th song for for Asha Bhonsle as a playback singer.
The year – 1997. For the first time ever (October ’97), an Indian artist is being honored as the ‘Artist of the Month’ by MTV channel on cable TV. At the age of 64, a Maharashtrian housewife who loves to cook, and is a grandmother, Asha Bhosle graced the honors. And mind you, this recognition is voted for by the MTV audience, a population that primarily consists of teen agers. At an age when most people in many walks of life are either retired or contemplating a more relaxed and sedate life, this diva of Hindi film music, went on to completely reinvent herself. At the age of 64, with a new makeover, she rose once again to become the queen of funky pop.

When Atul wrote to me in his usual polite way the other day that I must write a post on this song I was taken aback. I have been a (mostly silent) reader of his blog and I have even written a few pieces for it but none for a very long time. Perhaps he thought I might like to do this piece on Don’s “Khaike paan banaraswala” as most of my early pieces were on Amitabh Bachchan’s movies of that era as I am an unabashed AB fan. What he did not know when he wrote to me is that I had another “qualification” for doing this piece; I studied for five years in Banaras.
