It was 1958. A singing contest was organized in Bombay, sponsored by Murphy radios. The judges of the contest were the ‘दिग्गज‘ music directors of that era – Naushad, Anil Biswas, C Ramchandra, Vasant Desai and Madan Mohan. With a battery of such illustrious composers sitting in the jury, just be able to participate and perform in their presence, would have been a privilege. And for sure, the best talented aspirants had applied to be part of this contest. The singer that this impressive selection panel honored to be the best singer was a young man, originally from Amritsar, but settled in Bombay since childhood. The interesting thing about this young man was that he had been earlier rejected in auditions by All India Radio and Young India Ltd. (the gramophone records company). Along with being honored as the winner the verdict of this panel, Mahendra Kapoor got an opportunity immediately to sing for some of the music directors on the judge’s panel.

Remembering Mahendra Kapoor on the anniversary of his passing away (27th September).

An icon that stands the tallest on the horizon of the Hindi film landscape. And a persona whose influence spans more than six decades of the history of this medium – a medium that itself is just over eight decades young now.

Dharam Devdutt Pishorimal Anand – born this day in Shakargarh, district Gurdaspur. The year – is irrelevant. With a persona like Dev Sb, the length of years behind was as meaningless as the number of years ahead of him were meaningful. The zest for life and the energy to be – the age and years did not matter. The only thing that mattered was the young-ness of the mind that simply refused to be afraid of the towering Time that overcomes all. Not that he professed any eternal life. And neither did he survive the scythe of reaper of time. But the time and the years that he lived and breathed, there was always another horizon to reach, always another mountain to scale. And the mantra for life simply was – young-ness of the mind.

I can imagine in my mind’s eye. Atul ji getting interviewed on some online forum. The interviewer asks about what he does. Atul ji tells him that he is managing this Atul Song A Day blog. The interviewer asks Atul ji to describe this blog, what prompted him to set this up and tell about its specialties. Atul ji starts telling about the blog, its origins and its features. Near the end of the interview, the interviewer asks so tell what is new on the blog today. Atul ji raises one hand to cover a yawn, then remarks – “nothing much, the usual stuff, we just clocked another 100 songs today.” 😀 😀

Suraiyya is one singer whose songs are now almost fully covered in the blog and we have the full, accurate and verified list of her songs. There are now less than twenty Suraiyya songs that remain to be discussed. The encouraging fact is that around four or five of these songs are available as of now. Yesterday nahm discussed one song which I was unable to locate till now. Today I am discussing another as yet unavailble Suraiyya song.

Today’s song is from the film Usha kiran-1952. It was a film made by Malwa productions Bombay and the production of the film and its supervision was by the nawab of Kurval from Uttar Pradesh. Those days, many kings and Nawabs got interested in making films. For some of them, the added attraction was the film’s Heroine. Some state chiefs, however,genuinely helped and encouraged Cinema as an art form. One such example was the Shahu Maharaj of Kolhapur State.
