Lat uljhi suljha ja baalam
haathon mein mehandi lagi hai mori
Maathe ki bindiya bikhra gayi mori
Apne haath sajaa jaa baalam
Pag paijhaniya uljha gayi mori
Apne haath lagaa jaa baalam
The above is the original bandish written by saint-poet Chandrasakhi and composed in Raag Bihag.

Forgotten Melodies of the 1940s – 3
———————————————————
The first time I heard the name of the film ‘Prarthana’ (1943) was sometime in 2012 when I wrote a short write-up on Jahanara Kajjan, singer-actor of 30s and 40s, for the Blog with her song tumre darshan ka nainaa taras gaye re in Raag Gaud. Since then, the only additional information I could get about this film was that it was a social genre film. The film’s VCD/DVD is not available.

Basics of Music- Part III (Raag and Thhaat)
——————————————–
In part I, we introduced swars and mentioned that combination of swars constitutes melody. In part II, we introduced the concept of Rhythm (taal) and mentioned that it is the combination of melody and rhythm that makes music what it is today.
Each of the two parts were quite heavy duty stuff for people not exposed to such stuff earlier. I got some comments on part I, but hardly any for the second part, which may mean that these concepts may have been going above the heads of readers.
