I am going down memory lane, to my school days. We would come back from school at 3:30 p.m. and at that time Vividh Bharati would be silent till 5:30 p.m. So we would put on the radio and searching for songs, invariably we found All India Radio (Urdu service) where they broadcast the programme “aap ki farmaish” which continued till 5 o’clock.

I had no much idea about Jahanara Kajjan except that I was aware of a couple of her classical raag based songs in the film ‘Bharathari’ (1944). Very recently, I came across one more of her song ‘tumre darshan ka nainaa taras gaye ho’ from the film PRARTHANAA (1943). I heard this song for the first time and instantly liked it. The song is rendered in dadra style (crisp version of thumri ) based on raag Gaur-Malhar but with typical filmy musical orchestration of early 40s.

Laughter is a symbol of happy mood or joy. It is an important segment of ‘NAVRASAS’ as HASYA. Even the original writer Bharatmuni has described Hasya as an important element of Navaras, in his Natyashastra. That is why , probably, that many kings and Rajahs used to appoint a court Jester or Vidushak, who would ease the tension in the court by causing mirth.

Lovely greetings for a wonderful Eid celebration today, to one and all.
Today, we celebrate Eid-ul-Fitr, which marks the culmination of the fasting month of Ramzaan. Today is the first day of the month of Shawwaal, the tenth month of the Islamic Hijri calendar. Ramzaan, which is the ninth month of the Hijri calendar, is observed as a fasting period by Muslims who abstain from food and water from sunrise to sunset. Fasting during Ramzaan, helps in developing self-control and is a way of getting closer to Allaah. It is historic record that the Qur’an was revealed to Prophet Mohammed (PBUH) in the last ten days of the month of Ramzaan. Today’s festivities mark the end of the fasting period.
