The stock photograph that is available shows a very suave and handsome Sikh gentleman. The beard is neatly packed, the moustache is starched razor sharp, and the turban is a perfect construct. Six feet plus, with a very fair skin – all attributes put together make up a very attractive and becoming personality. By his own admission, he labels himself to be a romantic – and that he had to be in love to be able to create music. The others called him a “ladies man”.
Remembering Sardul Kwatra on the anniversary of his passing away today (6th July).

Today’s song under discussion is “Bol bol bol bol My little dove” from the film Baap Bete-59. The music Director for this film is Madan Mohan.
MADAN MOHAN. An Unique composer. A thorough Gentleman. Lata Mangeshkar had called him “The King of Ghazal”. He created masterpieces in her voice, which set high standards in films. Madan Mohan, however,could never combine Class with Mass appeal unlike other composers like Naushad, S D Burman or Roshan or Shanker – Jaikishen.

Unlike Pakistan-who had to build a fresh new industry in their country- our infrastructure was intact, the base was wide and solid and vacancies were filled up promptly, by artistes waiting in the wings.
