Ah, good to be back, and sincere apologies to all who may be wondering after all why does he start something and then seem to disappear. In simple words, not trying to make it sound like an excuse – personal bandwidth constraints and some higher priority write ups that must be done. This promised series took a back seat for many reasons. After having a start in late May, so far just four episodes appeared in the series, and then came a long hiatus. But now, getting back to it again. It needs to be put in words. For more than one reasons.

An email request from a faraway land. A lover of music from the golden era, and a dear friend who dearly remembers his departed friends. Trying to trace out and re locate poignant memories and melodies – heard long back and now etched in the memory. Only that there is no information other than the words of the song.

It is raining cats and dogs in Mumbai for the last month. I have had three visits out of town during the last one and half month, which is bad enough. And more socializing than usual and some busy anxious days in the office, had me juggling so many things. Then there was cleaning and re-organizing the home also had to find place in this melee. This is the reason why I have been missing a lot of happenings on the blog. Moreover this is likely to continue for at least two months, with Ramazan coming up soon, and visitors from abroad. And possibly more outstation trips.

Sajjaad Hussain – the enigmatic genius of the industry. A self trained composer par excellence, for whom the venerated Anil Biswas has used the epithet of the “only original composer” in Hindi films. An artist whose composition have the capacity to surprise you and confound you at the same time. No other music director comes even close to creating the fusion of the spoken sound and the music so seamlessly and so beautifully, and one is left wondering at the depth of this genius as he will move from one arrangement to another one, as the song moves from one antaraa to the next one.

In the last few days, I have been looking for songs composed by Shyam Sundar, the forgotten music director of 40s and early 50s. Whenever I think of him, the name of another forgotten music director Sajjad Hussain creeps in my mind. If Shyam Sundar was called a genius music director, Sajjad Hussain was called an original music director by none other than Anil Biswas, the ‘Bheeshm Pitaamah’ of Hindi film music. Despite these superlatives against their names, Shyam Sundar and Sajjad Hussain composed music for only 20 and 17 Hindi films respectively in their careers. This works out to on an average 2 films per year for Shyam Sunder (1943 to 1953) and less than 1 film per year for Sajjad Hussain ( 1944 to 1977). One common reason attributed for their musical output not being commensurate with their talents was that both were short tempered and perfectionist to the extent that they were uncompromising which was not to the liking of producers/directors of the films.
