Usually, on this blog, we find ourselves digging through the dusty bins of the 1940s and 50s, looking for a rare Geeta Dutt or a forgotten C. Ramchandra gem. But every once in a while, a song comes along in the modern era that feels like it was written with a fountain pen in a rain-soaked balcony, far away from the noisy “reels” and “trends” of today.

In the world of Hindi film music, we often talk about the “Golden Era” as if it were a closed chapter. But every so often, an artist emerges who reminds us that the spirit of that era—the focus on baat (the word) and ehsaas (the feeling)—is very much alive.

Today’s song is a viral miracle. It’s titled “Chor“, released in early 2024 by an independent artist who goes by the name Justh. This song is by the artist whose journey is as unconventional as his name. Justh (who keeps his legal name private, asserting that “Justh” is a word he has given meaning to) was once a Chartered Accountant. In interviews, he mentions that he didn’t “shift” careers as much as he finally found the correct vehicle to express his thoughts about the universe. He draws deep inspiration from the honesty of legends like Rabindranath Tagore, aiming for an art that is “truthful” rather than just “impressive.”

Things do not get any more rare than this.  Plus celebrations like today’s, also do not get any more better and rare.

Milestones is a habit now long forgotten on this blog. No, I do not mean to say we do not celebrate. But it has now become a matter of routine. However, a milestone such as today, came to fore after a journey of more than 17 years. And that too – we can just bask in this glory for a few hours more. Night will fall, the sun will rise, and this milestone will be left behind – forever.

In five decades of recorded data (1931-80), there is an estimated approximation – about 45 thousand songs, give or take. Beyond that, another 45 years of an industry that I and more in my category have not tracked sincerely. But taking just a crude estimate, let us say, another 40 thousand songs. We are talking of a huge repository that is about 85 thousand songs. I am sure, it is a number that cannot be matched by any other segment of the industry world wide. And if I take a look at the counter on the top of this article, a whopping 20+ percent of that repository is already showcased on Atul-Song-a-Day.

A moment it takes to absorb this. Time to ruminate, to contemplate and to let this number sink in inside.

#the Decade of Sixties – 1961 – 1970 #
———————————————————————

Today’s song is a nice composition from the movie ‘Daku Mangal Singh-1966’. Lyrics for this song were sent by Prakashchandra long back. Listeni8ng to songs like this (that I had not heard before), I am beginning to realise that apart from the songs that we grw up listening to (that we fondly remember), there many be thousands of songs that we could never listen to. Seing that most of these songs belonged to obscure movies, it is unlikely that music lovers will ever listen to these forgotten songs.

Before coming to the song, I would like to talk about the film itself. I remember going to see it at Chandragupt Talkies, one of the then popular single screen cinemas of Indore with my brother and enjoying this movie. That cinema is long gone like many other single screens but I still remember the josh of going to that huge cinema hall. Indore which came in the MP circle used to have this unique thing that the cinemas would get displayed on Thursdays (most other circles actually screened the movie the next day on the Friday). There would be huge queues to do advance bookings in those cinemas. Sometimes, we would have to request passing by girls and ladies to stand in the ladies queue to get tickets fast!

A Very Happy Holi celebration to all.

Well yes, coming at almost the end of the celebration day. But the greetings and good wishes are being delivered with a one year warranty, valid for a full year, till we come to the next instalment of this celebration.

Maybe many folks did not notice it, but this year’s occurrence of this festival of colours is likely the most rare and unique play out of the celebrations ever. At least I do not remember having encountered this version of the celebration ever in my life. And I would like to hear from the readers, if anyone else has. Like a few other things that happen once in life, this celebration of Holi is once in a lifetime experience.
