EID MUBARAK to all our readers, wherever they are on this Globe. Today is a Happy day for the celebrations.
Having grown up in HYDERABAD-the Muslim state of the Nizam- in the 40s,( Hyderabad was annexed to India in 1948,after Patel’s ‘Police Action’), I have very fond memories of Eid. Though Hyderabad merged with India, It was an independent state till 1-11-1956, therefore the Muslim customs, manners, festivals, education and Eating habits continued to have a major influence on Hyderabad public. (In Nov 1956, Hyderabad was Trifurcated. 5 districts of Marathwada merged with Bombay state, 3 Kannada speaking districts merged with Karnataka and remaining 8 Telugu speaking districts merged into the newly formed Andhra Pradesh.( and again now these 8 districts are separating from Andhra Pradesh to form Telangana State !).

Here is a fun filled song from film ” Laadla “-54.
It is sung by G M Durani and Trilok Kapoor.
Now, this Trilok Kapoor was NOT the actor Trilok Kapoor, who was Prithviraj Kapoor’s brother. Singer Trilok Kapoor never acted in any film. These two are separate persons.

This is a Duet by Kishore Kumar, Anup Kumar and chorus from film-HUM DO DAKU-1967.
KISHORE KUMAR (4-8-1929 to 13-10-1987) was a colourful, multifaceted and interesting personality. You can find actors who sang song, actors who gave music, actors who directed films, you can even find actors who sang and gave music, but KISHORE KUMAR was the only person who acted, sang, composed music, produced and directed films, wrote Lyrics, screenplay and stories and edited films. For one man to do all these things successfully is nothing short of a Wonder. I do not think that there is any other person in the whole world of Cinema, in any country, who handled all these activities with aplomb and expertise !

To continue with Rafi’s songs, here is a Fun song from film GUL-E-BAKAVALI-1963. It is shot on 3 comedians, Maruti, Sunder and Kumud Tripathi. The song situation is, these are three half-mad Princes, who have lost their way in a jungle. Hungry and thirsty, they eat the fruits of a tree-which is a Magic Tree. The fruits convert them to Girls. Demons appear and order them to dance and sing…

Today is the Death Anniversary of India’s most versatile singer Mohammed Rafi saab. Thanks to his evergreen songs, we still feel his presence amongst us. In last so many years India has not produced a single singer of Rafi’s calibre. One can not just say that those times were different and there was hardly any competition to him. Even in those days there was competition, but a healthy one. Artistes appreciated each others and conveyed their likings to the concerned artists, be it a role acting or a song or a tune. Even though for quite some time Kishore Kumar seemed to rule the industry, he was good enough to say that” Hum to bhai Barsaati mendhak hai. Barsaat khatam, hum khatam. Rafi saab jaise Timeless singer nahin hain hum.”
