TV serial Song number 1:
‘Mahabharat’ (1988), the TV Serial produced by B R Chopra and directed by Ravi Chopra was telecast on Doordarshan in 94 episodes from October 2, 1988, to June 24, 1990. The screenplay and dialogues were written by Rahi Masoom Raza. There were 20 main actors and about 60 actors in supporting roles apart from some actors appearing specifically in one or two episodes.
The episodes were telecast every Sunday and I have watched almost all the episodes when these were telecast. Those who have watched the episodes would recall that each episode used to start with the title song, ‘ath shree Mahabharat kathha’ and to end with a theme song of each episode which were rendered by Mahendra Kapoor. But there were many other songs in some episodes which I have almost forgotten except a few, that too, only the context and not the songs. Fortunately, Wikipedia has listed the songs of TV Serial, Mahabharat (1988) numbering 22 songs (including the title song) rendered by eight playback singers which include Mahendra Kapoor, Rajkamal, Anuradha Paudwal, Sadhana Sargam, Kavita Krishnamurthy, Nitin Mukesh, Suresh Wadkar and Roopa Ganguly. The songs were written by Pandit Narendra Sharma apart from songs with traditional lyrics. All the songs were set to music by Rajkamal.

My tribute to the Greatest singer ever – Lata Mangeshkar
I’m delayed by a couple of days to give my shradhanjali to the great departed soul, Lata Mangeshkar. Voices like hers don’t belong to a single era; they belong to eternity. Her melodies will continue to echo in our hearts forever.
For over seven decades, her voice floated through radios, cinema halls, wedding stages, lonely train journeys, and quiet midnight moments. It was the sound of first love, of longing, of devotion, of patriotism, of heartbreak that was beautiful rather than bitter. When Lata ji sang, emotions didn’t feel performed — they felt remembered.
There was something almost otherworldly about her voice. Crystal-clear yet deeply human, delicate yet unwavering, it could carry the innocence of a young girl, the grace of a devoted lover, or the quiet strength of a woman who had endured life’s storms.

Today’s song is from the movie ‘Shareef Daaku-1960’. This movie is making its debut on the blog today. It seems to be an obscure movie of its time.
One big advantage of the internet era is that sharing of resources has become easy. It has enabled music lovers to share music from obscure movies that would have remained out of reach of most music lovers if there was no internet. Songs from old movies that were considered very rare songs and even lost songs have become available with time for the listening pleasure of music lovers. One cannot thank the uploaders of such songs enough. Music lovers will remain grateful for their generosity in sharing such rare musical gems online.
