Most mujra songs in Hindi movies are rather “light” in nature in the sense that the clients as well as the mujra performers seem to be at ease with themselves. In reality, performing mujra as well as going to kotha to watch these performances was regarded as disreputable acts.

I have mentioned it in my previous post that I am at present visually hamstrung. I am unable to see what I am typing since I have forgotten my glasses at home. There are terms like touch typing, typing with two fingers etc, and I suppose I can add another term, viz typing by guesswork as well. I can barely see the letters on the keyboard but I am an experienced keyboard warrior and so my fingers tend to move to the correct keys almost like second nature. So I hope that I am typing correctly without too many typos.

During 1960s and 1970s, the quality of public involvement with movies and music tended to be of a higher level than what it is now. Movie magazines those days used to give reports on the progress of movies that were under production.

Not just that, books would be published that would give the detailed screenplay of movies.

When Raja pointed it out to me that today (10 may) was Kaifi Azmi’s death anniversary, I began to look for a few songs to discuss. It may sound easy but searching for a Kaifi Azmi song (or for that matter any other artist’s songs) is not a simple affair if that artist is well represented in the blog. More than one hundred of Kaifi Azmi’s songs have already been discussed in the blog. In other words, most well known Kaifi Azmi songs are already there, and only the lesser known songs remain to be discussed. I have already discussed one such lesser known song of Kaifi Azmi. And here is another song which is also quite an obscure song.
