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 !

Today, I am uploading and posting this fabulous fun qawwaali from the 1950 film ‘Bijli’, which is sung by Mukesh and Shamshad Begum.

THE JOY OF NFS (Song No. 4)
——————————-
From my house towards Juhu, there is a building at the corner of Gulmohar Circle which has a board- ‘Karachi Residents’ Association’. On enquiry I discovered that this was a building owned by Sindhi speaking Hindu and Muslims people who resided in Karachi before Partition. I was told that 5-6 such buildings exist all over Mumbai. On further enquiries, I was informed that there were a few buildings of ‘Lahore Residents Association’ also (Punjabi speaking Hindus and Muslims). When I met one of the residents of ‘Lahore’ wala building, that old gentleman was speaking so lovingly about old Lahore that I was surprised. Even after 65 years of partition, these people had such fondness for Lahore. . . or Karachi, for that matter.

THE JOY OF NFS (Song No. 3)
—————————–
Believe it or not, but there is some kind of an unseen hand of Destiny that shapes Human life. In film industry, one can see very strange cases. Some people gracefully retire, when they are on Top of their careers and some have to retire because there is no work for them. Some people join the industry in a department of their choice,but Destiny changes their life and they end up working and succedding in an entirely different field of activity.

In 1952, this voice came to the fore with the rousing proclamation of “Vande Maatram, Vande Maatram”. This song, which comes from the seminal creation of Bankim Chandra Chatterji – ‘Anand Matth’, was first published in 1882. After the passing of the first war of independence in 1857, the undercurrents of anger and resistance were simmering across the country. But the voices of cohesive and decisive action were still to come a couple of decades later. With the publication of ‘Anand Mathh’, the nation and its people got a slogan that said everything in just two simple words. After this song came on the lips of the common man, over the years many musical interpretations have been pronounced. Most of them are based in classical music, and the most popular versions are gradual and lingering, in the mode of a prayer to the motherland.

The mention of the name, takes me back again and again to my first meeting with Vijaylaxmi ji Deseram, and her introduction of Dr. Ashraf Aziz. Regulars will be familiar with Vijaylaxmi ji. Most avid listeners of Radio Ceylon and then Sri Lanka Broadcasting Corporation will immediately recognize this name, and will recall the soft and relaxing voice that has been the anchor of many mainline radio programs on Hindi film music and its creators. I have not yet met Dr. Aziz (who stays in Washington DC, USA), or even talked with him on the phone. But I am so familiar with his childhood and adolescent years, as also part of his later life. All on account of a wonderfully written article that captures a few key episodes and passages in great detail. The subject matter dealt within this article is beautifully summarized in its title – “Sajjaad Hussain Ki Khoj Mein”.
Remembering Sajjaad Hussain, the genius of musical magic, on his anniversary of birth (15th June.)

She was born as Tejeshwari, a name given to her by her father. She was also called Fatima, a name given to her by her mother. The story of her parents and her birth, is like a fairy tale of destiny. As they say, when love has to happen, it will. And at the place where it is destined to happen, the players and participants all reach that place, by design.
