Raag Maalikaa in Hindi Films – 13
======================

In the year 1959 Vijay Bhatt produced, under the banner of ‘Prakash Pictures’, a memorable movie ‘Goonj Uthi Shehnai’, which had music as its main theme.

This is a song sung by Asha Bhosle-for I.S.Johar ! Yes,don’t get surprised. She has given playback to a Male-in woman’s clothes. This is not the first time she has done it. Earlier too she sang for Kishore kumar in film ‘ Baap re Baap ‘-1955.

I wanted to write a post to this song as a Tribute to Mehmood on his death anniversay on 23rd July but I missed the date somehow.

This qawwali is special on many counts. First of all it is a composed by Madan Mohan and written by Rajendra Krishan. The film is Sanjog (1961). It is a marathon effort by Rafi Sahab and Asha Bhosle who are trying to outplay each other in this 10 minutes long qawwali. And ” sone pe suhaaga ” is a unique trivia about this song, as both the singers are giving playback to Mehmood, i.e. Mehmood male qawwaal and Mehmood in the guise of a female qawwaal.

” Loss of one person is the gain of another” I am reminded of this famous quotation, whenever I think of Partition and the subsequent exchange of Film artistes between India and the newly born nation of Pakistan. While many talented and well established composers, singers and Directors migrated to Pakistan, many producers and experienced film makers returned to India. Thus while the new born Pakistan got a solid help to build their own separate film industry-with ready made artistes from India, the Indian film industry was further strengthened with the arrival of film makers like the Sippys, Chopras, the Shoreys and the Pancholis from Lahore.

This article is the 10100th song post in the blog.

Ab to ye sab chhote chhote stations lagenge. Now these milestones will seem to be small stations on a long route train. 🙂 🙂

But nonetheless, these smaller stops have a significant role to play. In that they make possible the bigger milestones. After having done the 10K milestone, now the century milestones will seem like small cup cakes. Maybe the next thing of important enthusiasm will be the 11 thousandth post. Ah but that is still nine hundred songs away. And as soon as I think of the 11 thousandth post, my mind gets enamored by a subsequent post number that seems very magical – eleven thousand one hundred and eleven – 11111. Now that is surely going to invoke a lot of interest I am sure. That one will be the first number of its kind to appear on this blog. I mean, in five digit size.

Chandni Raaten : Song No. 4
———————————

chaand aahen bharegaa phool dil thhaam lenge
husn ki baat chali to sab teraa naam lenge

chand phir nikla magar tum na aaye
jalaa phir mera dil karoon kya main haaye

dheere dheere chal chaand gagan mein
kahin dhal na jaaye raat toot na jaayen sapne
arey dheere dheere chal chaand gagan mein

khoya khoya chaand khula aasmaan
aankhon mein saari raat jaayegi
ham ko bhi kaise need aayegi ho oo

Like all listeners of film songs on radio I have arrived here having consumed a staple diet of ‘ chand ‘and ‘ raat ‘ related songs. Such songs are numerous and too many to count. If I wish I can fill whole posts with just referring to these songs. There are also song which have such references in the stanzas like thi evergreen song from ‘ Sangam ‘

Greetings to all on the anniversary of India’s independence.

When the British Rule ended in India sixty seven years ago, the entire nation of India was not yet free of the foreign rule, by other alien invaders. There were two pockets of colonies one the east and west coasts which were still under alien control. On the east coast, it was the enclaves of Pondicherry, Karaikkal, Mahe and Yanam that were under the French control, and on the west coast, there were the areas of Goa, Daman, Diu, Dadra and Nagar Haveli that were under the control of the Portuguese rule. The movement of the liberation of these colonies had been underway even as the freedom struggle was in progress against the British. However, liberation to these colonies held by the French and the Portuguese did not come for more than a decade and half later.

The record of the events and the times while the struggle against the alien rule was in progress, as it is known and as it has been showcased in the sixty eight years since, is limiting in its focus and its willingness to fairly acknowledge the role and the contributions of many a stalwarts whose names and information has dissipated over time. Ah, but that is what history is all about. The story as recorded by the hunter, by the victor, by the kings and the royalty who would commission favored scholars to compile accounts for posterity, favorable to the ruling dynasty. Over passages of years and decades, such compilations would gain the status of historical record.

Today is the 15th of August 2014.

Indians all over the world will be celebrating this day as their Independence Day.

And yes, it is an occasion to celebrate. For, 67 years ago, India, after a long freedom struggle, achieved independence from colonial rule. Indians are now, politically, masters of their own fate – they are not subjects of any other sovereign power.

Today (15 august 2014) is our Independence Day. My Greetings to all our readers.

VANDE MATARAM does not need any introduction. Its mere utterance thrills every true Indian. It has earned a special place in every true Indian’s heart.This is not an ordinary poem. It has inspired all the Freedom Fighters over last more than 100 years. Great Revolutionaries like Bhagat Singh welcomed the death by singing Vande Mataram.
