It is a tradition or convention in most of the schools that just before the start of the classes in the morning, students collectively sing a prayer. During my early school days – probably in 1952 or 1953, I remember, we used to sing a prayer ‘pitu maatu sahaayak swami sakhaa tum hi ek naath hamaare ho’. In the absence of public address system, the prayer used to be sung by 4-5 students from our class who had aptitude in singing and others in the class would sing with them in tandem.

The Voice of Mukesh #12
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
After being the relative wilderness of unfamiliar artists from 1941 to 1944, Mukesh’s career took an upwards turn in 1945 with the release of ‘Pehli Nazar’. And 1946 turned out to be the best years thus far for him. In this year, Mukesh got singing assignments with five films. He sang for music director MA Mukhtar in the film ‘Chehraa’ – one solo and one duet with
Shamshad Begum. Both these songs have been discussed here on this blog recently, He sang a duet with Beenapani Mukherjee for the film ‘Druban’. There is a little uncertainty about the music director for this film (more about that later). Then, under the baton of Hansraj Behl, he rendered a wonderful duet with Sushila Rani for the film ‘Gwaalan’ –
Lagat Najar Tori Chalaiyya morey gore badan ko. This song also already appears on this blog. Then for the film ‘Raajputaani’, he sang a solo and a duet, under the music direction of Bulo C Rani. And lastly, he sang another duet song for music director Hanuman Prasad in the film ‘Raseeli’. Going up to seven songs in one year was a whole lot better than an average of two or three songs per year for the prior five years (1941-45).

The Voice of Mukesh #11
– – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – – –
The year is 1946, and the song “Dil Jalta Hai. . .” from ‘Pehli Nazar’ (1945, MD – Anil Biswas) is now well known. The staying power and popularity of this song can be judged from the fact that over the years, many people started to consider this song as his debut song, completely forgetting his other songs from 1941 to 1944. With this success behind him, Mukesh was now a more sought after singer, as is evident from the dramatic increase in his singing assignments in 1946.
