With some apprehensions and some anxiety, I put forward my first effort at writing an article on this blog. As has been mentioned by Sudhir ji in the previous post, I have been active in the comments space since September 2012. However, the delay in the first post coming up here, has not been from my side. 😉 This first post I had written almost a year ago, and sent to Atul ji in June last year. For some reasons, maybe it got lost in the pile of emails he receives, which he assures me, is the case.

“Genius is one percent inspiration and 99% perspiration”. This declaration has been made by Albert Einstein, the one who himself is regarded as one of the greatest ever. For the perceptive minds, it is ever so the experience that whenever we witness people who are considered consistent achievers, and accomplishments that are significantly impressive, then a little bit of probing behind the bright lights will reveal a whole amount of dedicated hard work behind the achievements. When we see an acrobat so effortlessly doing some wondrous acrobatics, one should not just stop at the amazement that the protagonist has made this difficult trick look very simple. We should also realize the importance of the fact that the same person spends maybe twelve to fourteen hours every day to practice the trick that is played out in a few minutes for the audience.

THE JOY OF NFS (Song No. 10) Last song of the series
———————————————————-

In the early 40s through the mid 60s, Radio was the only common entertainer for every household. Of course the choice of Gramophone was also there, but only few people could afford to own a gramophone. I remember, our morning used to open with melodious Bhajans from the Radio. Those days’ Mumbai Radio Station’ ( from the beginning, it was called Mumbai Radio station only-not Bombay anytime. For Hindi service it was Bambai) used to start early at 5.30 a.m. It first played Shehnai and then very sweet Bhajans, for an hour or so. That is how Juthika Roy and D.V.Paluskar’s names were etched on the memory card for ever. To listen to their bhajans was a divine experience.

THE JOY OF NFS (Song No. 8)
——————————-

Sachin Dev Burman was a titan amongst composers and singers of songs for Indian films and outside of them. Born on October 01 1906 in Comilla, about 100 kilometers from Dhaka Bangladesh, Sachin Dev Burman was a scion of the princely family of Tripura, now a state of India. His noble lineage is reflected in the grace of his musical creations spanning a period of 43 years until his death in Bombay in 1975.

THE JOY OF NFS (Song No. 7)
——————————
The word Non Film Song brings few names to mind immediately, like Jagmohan, Saigal, Kamala Jharia, Juthika Roy, Pankaj Mullick etc. I could never understand the reason and logic behind most NFS singers hailing from the Eastern part of India. Even Talat Mehmood went to Calcutta and sang all his famous NFS.

Little is known about this old and obscure movie called “Panchhi” (1944). From the little information available about this movie online, it appears that the movie was directed by Barkat Mehra and that it had Ajmal, Manorama, Hari Shivdasani, Salma, Gulam Qadir, Radha etc in it.

THE JOY OF NFS(SONG NO. 6)
——————————————–

City- Bombay
Date- 20th July 1972
Place- Harkissondas Hospital,Bombay

Few people were standing in the corridor . Anxiety, sorrow, helplessness and a little hope was clearly writ large on their faces. They were all quiet. No one was talking to anyone. Their body language gave away their agony and restlessness.

THE JOY OF NFS (song No. 5)
———————————

Somewhere in the late 2011, AK ji of Songsofyore, had written on this Blog about the importance of NFS. After reading his views, I too wrote a rather lengthy comment supporting the inclusion of NFS on this Blog. Our contention was that, prior to the Hindi Film Music becoming popular all over India, it was those gazals, Geets and Bhajans, privately sung and recorded by various artists which had ruled the tastes of music lovers. In fact many famous singers had recorded NFS in the beginning phase of their singing careers. Some names are Talat Mehmood, Saigal, Pankaj Mullik, Jagmohan and JUTHIKA ROY !

Searching for and locating the last few songs in a list always becomes a challenge, and the pace slows down considerably. In the process of completing the posting of all known songs of Mukesh till 1950, getting the last few remaining songs is turning out to be quite an effort. Today, I am uploading and posting this fabulous fun qawwaali from the 1950 film ‘Bijli’, which is sung by Mukesh and Shamshad Begum.
