I have covered 192 songs out of 310 songs posted by me, which is almost 62%,but these are songs with a purpose and a link to the theme. Few days back, I got an idea, why not make an Index of personalities and topics that I have discussed on this Blog through my posts in last 3-4 years. This would help me as the readers to get the desired information at a click. Very enthusiastically and patting myself for this original idea, I started the work and then I realised that this was a mammoth project requiring lot of time and patience !

BHAJAN MALA – GOLDEN 50s (Pushp- 1)
——————————————
I grew up in a joint family of about 20 people including children. My childhood memories are vivid and I remember playing with cousins and enjoying Festivals with the elders. By coincidence ,by 1947-48 our joint family was fragmented, not because of the Partition, but because One Uncle joined Army, the other joined Navy and the third one joined Police. My own father had to go underground to evade arrest, after Gandhi ji’s assassination..He was an RSS worker. We shifted coolly to Banaras and stayed there for an year. Ultimately father was traced and arrested and we were escorted by the police to mother’s town in Maharashtra.

Till the 1970s, people in India typically were far less cynical that what they are today. Youngsters typically got to read inspirational books, which meant reading the biographies of great men and also mythological tales viz “Ramayana”, “Mahabharat” etc. In typical Indian households, one could find framed photos/ calenders depicting Gods as well as Great people/ National leaders. I have seen pictures of Lord Ram/ Krishna/ Shiv as well as pictures of Mahatma Gandhi/ Jawaharlal Nehru/ Dr Rajendra Prasad/ Dr S Radhakrishnan/ Subhash Chandra Bose in almost all typical households.

The lyricist, the music director and the singer are the trinity who are involved in the making of film songs, making their own contributions in popularising the song. However, right from the early days of talkies films 1931, the lyricists have remained in the shadows of music directors and singers. I have some 78 RPM records of films of 40s which do not contain the names of lyricists. Even All India Radio and Radio Ceylon (Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation) rarely used to announce the name of the lyricists while airing Hindi film songs.

When I plan to write an article for any series or a song, I ensure that I gather more than necessary material,so that I can select the desired material from that.In such exercises,many times I come across some unusual songs-in the sense that sometimes the singer is uncommon,or the theme of the song is different,or the composer is special or even the song is too obscure but needs an exposure. In such cases,I keep these songs in the ‘Draft’ section of my computer,to be used in future, at an appropriate time.

He who gave us some memorable films like Anarakali, Munimji , Paying Guest, Caravan , Phir Wohi Dil Laya Hoon , Tumsa Nahin Dekha , Teesri Manzil, Dil Deke Dekhon, Jab Pyar Kisise Hota Hain etc. And then in my growing up years there were movies like Yaadon Ki Baaraat, Hum Kisise Kum Nahin, Zamaane Ko Dikhana Hain, Manzil Manzil, Zabardast etc. Then he switched to being a producer for films that his son Mansoor Khan directed.

“Amaanat” (1975) was produced and directed by Shatrujit Paul. The movie had Manoj Kumar, Sadhana, Balraj Sahni, Mehmood, Achalka Sachdev, Shashikala, Keshto Mukherji etc in it. This movie began in 1960s and its songs got released much before the movie. The movie itself had a very delayed release. It finally got its censor certificate on 31 december 1975 and thus qualified as a movie of 1975!

Greetings to all readers,on this auspicious day of MAHASHIVARATRI-2014.
For the devotees of Shiv Shankar Bholenath ji, this day is very important. This was the day (rather the night ), when Shiv ji married Parvati ji and Shiv and Shakti came together. This festival is celebrated with religious fervour all over the world by Shiva devotees. Fasting during the day and Jagran in the night is usually the programme on Mahashivratri.
