Greetings to all on the occasion of Basant Panchmi today, the festival that heralds the onset of the spring season. Although it is still the month of Maagh (as per the Hindu calendar) and the beginning of the month of Pha’gun, which is the month of colors, is still a few days hence, the season of colors and freshness has been initiated. (Pha’gun is the month of colors, and the last day of Pha’gun is the celebration of Holi, which will be celebrated on 8th March this year). Basant is also a huge celebration with our brethren across the border, and the festival of kite flying and sumptuous food is already in progress since the day before. In Lahore, Rawalpindi, Sialkot, Faisalabad, Kasur and across all of the Punjab, this festival is energetically celebrated as ‘Jashn-e-Baharaan’ (Celebration of Spring) or simply, Basant.

Remembering Mahendra Kapoor today, 9th Jan, his birth anniversary.
As I am searching for songs to post for today, I came across this simply super gem of a melody which I have heard long time back, and which has since been eluding me. This song just has to be counted amongst the best and softest duets ever. Rendered softer than silk and softer than velvet, this duet is by Asha ji and Mahendra ji. I am sure as you would hear this, the reaction is going to be, “wow, not posted yet?”.

Remembering Mahendra Kapoor today, 9th Jan, his birth anniversary.
Mahendra ji was born in Amritsar, Punjab on 9th January, 1934. As a child and a teenager, he was very much enamored and inspired by Rafi Saab. Right from childhood, he had a very good singing voice and a penchant for singing, no doubt motivated by his singing idol. He received his education in music from some very well known names of that era, viz., Pt. Husnlal, Pt. Jagannath Bua, Ustad Niaz Ahmed Khan, Ustad Abdul Rehman Khan, and Pt. Tulsidaas Sharma.

Remembering Mahendra Kapoor today, 9th January, his birth anniversary.
A resounding voice, that brings home the feeling of echoes in the valleys and mountains. A booming voice that is the representative and the choice for the rousing songs of chivalry and patriotism. A voice that is unmatched in the annals of the industry. A voice that has probably the widest vocal range amongst the contemporary singers and is rich in the higher octaves. Likened with the famed Italian tenor, Pavarotti, Mahendra Kapoor was always called upon to render the songs that needed power and exuberance. Listening to his voice gives a strong feeling of mountains and wide open spaces full of sound and melody. His songs are remembered for their inspiring and dominant strength.
