Having stayed in Mumbai for over 60 years, I have a fair knowledge of Marathi but not as good as Hindi and English being my medium of instructions in school and college days respectively. In my younger days, I used to often listen to some non-filmy Marathi songs on the radio as also during some public functions like Ganesh festival. Of these, two Marathi songs which created interest in me to listen to more Marathi songs were “mee dolkar dolkar dolkar dariya cha raaja” ( I am a boatman, the king of sea) sung by Hemant Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar and “ne majsi ne matrabhumi laa, sagara praan talmal laa” (O sea, take me back to my motherland. My heart aches for her) sung by all the five Mangeshkars – Lata, Asha, Usha, Meena and Hridaynath. Both these songs were composed by Hridaynath Mangeshkar probably in the late 60s or early 70s. These two songs were my first introduction to Hridaynath Mangeshkar.

It’s been a while since my last post here. And I feel pretty bad about it. Somehow, in the last month (or more), I’ve just not been able to generate the required mental juice to be able to come up with anything worth putting on paper (or on electronic media). Had Shakespeare been around and had one look at me, he’d have promptly coined something like “Listlessness, thou hast what human spirit conquer’d, For Man knoweth not whence he cometh, and where he goeth”.

Kishore Kumar, who was externally a jovial and boisterous character had a sensitive side to him as well. He could sing serious and sensitive songs with the same ease with which he rendered fun songs. When it came to producing movies, Kishore Kumar has produced rip roaring comedy viz. “Chalti Ka Naam Gaadi” (1958) and “Jhumru” (1961), but many of his subsequent movies dealt with sensitive topics. These movies were far ahead of their times and the Indian masses were by and large not evolved enough to appreciate Kishore Kumar’s subsequent movies on serious topics, namely “Door Gagan Ki Chhaaon Mein”(1964), “Door Ka Raahi” (1971), “Door Waadiyon Mein” (1982).
