Regulars may have noticed that only one song has been discussed today (4 april 2014) so far, whereas as many as eight songs were discussed the previous day. There could be several reasons for less output of songs on a particular day. My reasons for less number of posts today are several. One reason was that I discovered that I had inadvertently discussed same songs twice in the blog. I found that two movies “Amar Kahaani” (1949) and “Kanchan”(1955) has the same songs in them and I would often post the same song twice. On discovering this fact, I had tospend time to undo the duplication in the blog, which is a far more cumbersome process that the undoing that one does in an MS office application.

Nainon se naina milaa ke – Song no. 11

With post of 10th song in the series, I thought the series is complete. But it was not to be. A fellow contributor to the blog, Mr. Nitin Shah, has magnanimously offered a wide choice of songs for this series, and contributed the lyrics, compelling me to continue the series for a few more songs.

A very special song for Mohammad Rafi fans. This is what is real effortless singing. He makes it sound as if it is his ‘baayen haathh ka khel’. And it was his forte to seamlessly go from one mood to another, go from light, comic mode to qawwali, sounding quite serious and melodious and switch to western style, all in the space of less than a minute. If what I say does not make sense, than one can only listen to this song and confirm. What range and what smoothness of voice and diction. And adding the punjabi tadka too in a spoken line towards the end of the song.

Badalte Huye Saathi (Epiosde No. 9) ( Shamshad Begum sings with Mukesh)

To be a multi-lingual person is good. Knowing more languages-not just knowing, but speaking many languages has its own advantages. I had the built in advantage of having been born in a Multi-lingual state of Hyderabad. Starting with Urdu, I soon learnt Marathi(Mother tongue), Hyderabadi and Pure Hindi, Telugu and Kannada. Because of my father, I learnt Sanskrit, but could not master it, though I am well conversant in it. After coming to Bombay,I learnt Gujarati so well that I can read Gujarati papers, books and E Mails etc.
