“हर साल का अपना एक सिक्का होता है”
(Every year has its own identification, its own currency).
As we review the historical record of look at the early years of Indian Cinema, true to the expectations, these formative years were very eventful and very exciting. Any new art form, or a new concept, always attracts people who are the explorers, the adventurers – people who relish the excitements and risks of trying out the new. Thus these formative years are full of new milestones, new people, new landmarks. Their historical record makes for a very interesting read.

I have been longing to share some posts which have been delayed much due to one reason or the other. This song post is one of them. And I can number it as a ‘vacation nostalgia-post-1’, because I have to share one more in this series.

Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 4
———————————————————
I have been looking for some rare songs which are generally not available on YT. Some of them are gems which are required to be brought to the notice of the wider section of the admirers of Hindi film music. Thanks to some of the collectors of old Hindi film songs and also thanks to internet technologies, such gems can now be stored in mp3 format and easily shared. One of the websites which has become a kind of a store house of old Hindi film songs in mp3 format is Dr Surjit Singh’s Website. With a large collection, the attendant problem is in searching for the required songs/films. One must be extremely patient in searching for the required songs or films as the records of mp3 clips have not been maintained in any particular order as of now.

This is her 100th writeup in the blog.
Exactly a year ago I had written out the lyrics for a song from “Uljhan” . The post to that was done by our Sudhirji. I am hundred percent sure that I couldn’t have done such a good post. In there he had mentioned that is was 29 years since Harihar Jethalal Zariwaala aka Sanjeev Kumar aka Hari Bhai left us. How soon one year has passed and it is now the 30th anniversary of this “switch on, switch off actor”. (I have borrowed this term from Sudhirji’s write up.)

Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 3
———————————————————
The first time I heard the name of the film ‘Prarthana’ (1943) was sometime in 2012 when I wrote a short write-up on Jahanara Kajjan, singer-actor of 30s and 40s, for the Blog with her song tumre darshan ka nainaa taras gaye re in Raag Gaud. Since then, the only additional information I could get about this film was that it was a social genre film. The film’s VCD/DVD is not available.

Hullo to all in Atuldom
Recently I made a few discoveries. That without effort some of the artists reach centuries on our blog and we work towards finding unspotted songs of others and these artists are plodding their way towards reaching even their first 1000. For example Indeevar has only 192 out of a total 1875 song penned by him. Similarly Madan Mohan has 471 songs from his 630 among the music directors. Kishore Kumar has only 926 out his 2709 songs here on the blog. And hold your breath there are a whopping 2900 Lata songs (at her last century) and 2466 Rafi songs on the blog. So do we say (in Gabbar style) “bahut be insafi hai yeh” or do we say that we have been partial to these two or is it a case of chalte chalte they just reached these numbers without anyone’s knowledge. Whatever be the case in my own small way let me contribute to rectifying the situation.

Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 2
———————————————————
In the history of Rajputs, the name of Panna Dai has become immortal because of her supreme sacrifice. I first came to know about the story of Panna Dai in the Rajput history lesson during my school days. The only thing I remember of the story till a few days back was that Panna Dai sacrificed her own son to save the future Maharana of Mewad, Udai Singh for whom she was the Dai (Nanny). The detailed story of the 16th century nursemaid Panna Dai is available on Wikipedia.

Today’s song is a Manna Dey NFS.
We have just completed 2 years without the Ace Singer, Manna Dey. He left us on 24-10-2013. He was probably the last of the Golden Age male singers, who started singing in the 40s. I called him an Ace singer and most readers would agree with it too, but Manna Dey never got rated as the No 1, or 2 or 3 or even 4th singer. Every A grade composer agreed that he was a great singer, but no one would call him to sing a song, on a regular basis. Though Manna Dey sang for almost every composer of his times, he was neither a favourite of any Music Director, nor did any top actor insist for him as a playback singer of his choice. So, strangely, while recognition was there, results were not matching !

Genius of Jaidev – 34
———————————
One more song from the film ‘Jiyo Aur Jeene Do’ is a surprise song for me. I heard it for the first time due to the ‘meherbaani’ of ‘uperwala’. (Geographically Delhi is ‘uper’ to Mumbai.) The second surprise is the sweet voiced singer. Suman Kalyanpur has sung only two songs with Jaidev. (as far as I know) The other one is “Mai Teri Dasi Tu Mera Data” from the 1972 film ‘Bhavana’. After hearing this song every music lover would opine in unison, that they should have come together more often. One more rare occurrence is lyricist Hasrat Jaipuri providing lyrics for Jaidev. I request our statisticians of the blog to make me ‘buddha’ (dictionary meaning – ‘one who knows’) about these statistics.
