In Hindi movies, there are songs for all occasions including songs meant to assuage the hurt feelings of the beloved. Now, how can one go about assuaging the hurt felings of one’s beloved ? The common and gentlemanly method is to say sorry. But then Hindi movie heroes (like Government employees) 🙂 can never see the errors of their ways and cannot say sorry. Even when they say sorry then do not mean it. In a railway station, one listens to the announcement saying ” The train is running late. We are sorry for the inconvenience”. The announcer hardly sounds sorry while making this announcement.

when one listens to O P Nayyar’s music, one often may find his music sounding same. But when one frees one’s mind of such pre conceived notions (viz. different compositions of a music composer needs to sound different from each other), one can enjoy music the best. And in case of O P Nayyar’s music, one should listen to the music and enjoy the indescribable quality of enjoyment that these compositions bring. This quality cannot be taught/ learnt/passed on to future generations. It was a quality that went into oblivion with O P Nayyar. And we need to savour the legacy that O P Nayyar has left behind.

There is one big loss that the society faces of the demise of the radio broadcasts, and the rise of television and other devices. In the decades of 60s and 70s, and maybe even 80s, when radio was the prime mover of entertainment, one could bank upon hearing it somehow, someplace, every place through the day. In the morning radios would be the wake up call at homes, with news, religious music, and film music playing till one left for school or work. Afternoons and evenings again, radio used to play news and music and one could hear the sounds emanating from many households. And yes, radio would play all day at small tea shops, paan shops, and general merchants, and if there was a cricket commentary being broadcast, it was not out of place to see large crowds at tea shops and paan shops.
