Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 17
———————————————————
If I were to define ‘Assistant Music Directors’ in the context of Bollywood, I will define them as those talented musicians whose talents are exploited by some of the top music directors for furthering their own brand of music in Bollywood. No doubt, they are paid for the job and their contributions may be appreciated by the masters, but there is no recognition from the public at large for their talents. They remain the unsung artists among many other musicians who contribute to the success of film music.

“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.

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.

‘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’.

“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.

‘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.
