Mohammed Rafi – ‘अ’ से ‘ह’ तक (From ‘अ’ to ‘ह’) – 15
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
‘छ’
“छोड़िए गुस्सा हुज़ूर ऐसी नाराज़ी भी क्या”
वो बादशाह सुरों का (He, the monarch of musical notes)
This phrase is used as the intro caption by one of the fans who uploads many songs of Rafi Sb on YouTube. (His name is Ahsaan Qasim. He is a dear friend, and part of the wide circle of collector friends).
I have discussed in one of my earlier posts, about Rafi Sb’s cognizance of the emotional intent of a song, and his ability to capture and express its exact flavor and nuance, when he would sing it. This ability made his playback voice so intensely an integral subsumed part of the on screen performance, that his voice seemed to dissolve into the persona on screen, losing its own identity. And Rafi Sb had no favorites in this regard. His voice became the voice of any and every actor who lip synced his songs on screen. No other singer in this domain has been able to emulate This remarkable and pervasive characteristic of Rafi Sb’s singing. Other singers either have a very unique characteristic of their singing voice that is identifiable in every song they have given their voice to, or the identity of their voice matches the identity of some select actors and on screen roles. As I said, the pervasiveness of this ability of Rafi Sb continues to be unmatched.

‘च’
“चलना ज़िंदगानी दुनिया बहता पानी”
This song is another bright memory from the radio listening days. I had heard it only on the radio, and then it faded and remained elusive for many years. As I was preparing the list of songs for this series, I remembered this song, and then searched for it online.

Missing Films of 1960s – 19
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –
We are now getting close to the end of 1962. The next film from that year which is being introduced today is ‘Sher Khan’. The film and its songs are available on the internet, and have been for some time now. Apparently, we just did not get around to bringing up here, the songs from this film. Probably it is the obscurity of the film and its title, and the level of unfamiliarity that the team may have with this film and its songs. With music by SN Tripathi, the songs of this film are very good. Once we get to hear them, then the mind wonders – where have these been hiding so far. But anyway, we are getting to them now, and that is a good thing.

रांचीवाले का ईरानी ढाबा
– “क्यों जी, आज का स्पेशल क्या है”
– “एकदम फ्रेश फ्राइड चटपटा मसालेदार ग्यारह नौ सौ”
– “ये ग्यारह नौ सौ क्या डिश है भाई”
– “गाना है सर !! ग्यारह हज़ार नौ सौवाँ। बस आज ही सर्व होगा”
– “भाई ऐसा क्यों, आज ही क्यों सर्व होगा”
– “अरे साहब, कल हम नया ताज़ा ग्यारह हज़ार नौ सौ एक, और उस से भी आगे चलेंगे”
“लाऊं क्या, सर ?”
– “क्या”
– “गाना, ग्यारह हज़ार नौ सौ वां”
– “अच्छा, पेश करो, लेकिन ताज़ा होना चाहिए”
– “एकदम ताज़ा सर, एकदम नया, पहले इस ढाबे में कभी नहीं सर्व किया गया”
“अभी लाया”
🙂 🙂
Welcome all to our next century milestone, piling nine hundred on top of eleven thousand. And we are now just 100 short of the next thousandth milestone. And we hope to get there shortly now. This milestone has been quite slow to arrive. We have taken full forty days from the previous century, which occurred on 24th Jan.

एक दोस्त मिला आज, बहुत सारे सालों के बाद।
Yes, years and years have passed since we last met. And today, while searching for someone else, I located the one I had probably met once or maybe twice, and then never met again for decades. But the memories of that earlier meeting are so very sharp and very clear. And the lilt of its sound still rings in the backdrop of the mind, very often.

Mohammed Rafi – ‘अ’ से ‘ह’ तक (From ‘अ’ to ‘ह’) – 13
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
‘घ’
“घर से तो कट चुका पत्ता”
As I search for songs of Rafi Sb, I continue to find unheard and obscure gems, that make one wonder – where have these songs been hiding so far. And more importantly, continue to marvel more and more at the versatility of Rafi Sb’s voice and the depth of his emotional connect with the intent of the song. When I picked out this song and heard it, the one word that flashed in my mind was ‘free spirit’. This song is meant to be a freewheeling song of a wanderer, who has no roots. As the song progresses, the mind catches the attention of the feeling of lightness one experiences, as the sounds of Rafi Sb’s voice sink into the mind. The sound is coming almost as if from the skies, light as the wind. It carries a plucky feeling of a carefree heart that is joyous in its rootlessness. I am so enchanted by the emotional expression in this song that today I actually went ahead and created a new category – ‘Free Spirit Song’.

‘ग’
“गरज़ हो तो नखरे दिखाती है बीवी”
The voice of Rafi Sb has played in the back for umpteen actors, all the way from mid 1940s the 1980s. But there are two actors who screen performances have a very special connection with Rafi Sb. Not difficult to guess, I am sure. Yes, Shammi Kapoor is one, and Johnny Walker is the second.

Missing Films of 1960s – 18
– – – – – – – – – – – – – –
In presenting this series, we are dealing with a very familiar era, when the radio was a prevalent medium and a big support to bring film songs to the listening public. More songs were heard, more songs got stored in the collective memory, and yes, compared to the earlier decades, a much larger percentage of films had their music released on gramophone records, and hence a much larger number of film songs are available. And yet, there are still a few films for which any audio or video material has not surfaced in the public domain. I will provide some statistics for 1961 and 1962, when I close the decade of 1962, three or four episodes hence.

‘ख’
“खुली वादियों का सफर है”
Yesterday, 24th February, a living legend of Indian cinema turned 88. From his pen have come such haunting songs as “Kho Diye, Hain Sanam, Teri Talaash Mein, Pichhle Kai Janam” (‘Teri Talaash Mein’, 1968), “Kai Sadiyon Se, Kai Janmon Se” (‘Milaap’, 1972), and such songs of love as “Main To Har Mod Par Us Ko Doonga Sadaa” (‘Chetna’, 1970), “Phir Milengi Kahaan, Aisi Tanhaaiyaan”, (‘Bhaavna’, 1972), “Har Janam Mein Hamaara Milan” (‘Kaagaz Ki Naao’, 1975), and “Tumhe Ho Na Ho, Mujhko To, Itna Yakeen Hai” (‘Gharonda’, 1977). Starting his film career with the film ‘Jaggu’ in 1952, this poet of the off beat continues to be active on both the big and small screens.
Wishing a very happy birth anniversary to Naqsh Lyallpuri, and also wishing him many more healthy and poetical years still to come.

‘क’
“कल मेरी तरह मुझको सलाम आप करेंगे”
We now move to the consonants, having completed the list of basic vowels. So far, the only alphabet missing is the letter ‘ ई’.
This here is a wonderful nazm from the 1973 film ‘Mere Ghareeb Nnawaaz’. A very soft expression of first love, which has been sung so softly by Rafi Sb. I remember this nazm was quite popular in its time and was frequently heard on the radio waves.
