Maybe the friends on this blog have given up on me, if my inconsistency of the past few days, some weeks is any evidence. Well yes, the things are kind of busy in life at this time (now why should that be an excuse?) :). Nonetheless, today I do want to write about a wonderful song I came across for the first time last week, and also write about where I am and of the interesting things that have happened today.

Roshan, a name that immediately brings to mind the iconic qawwalis of ‘Barsaat Ki Raat’ (1960), or the perennial sentimental favorite “Caarvaan Guzar Gayaa, Gubaar Dekhte Rahey” from the film ‘Nai Umar Ki Nai Fasal’ (1965). A master musician who would blend the classical and the folk with graceful ease, Roshan had his training under famous masters such as Ustad Allauddin Khan and Ustad Bundu Khan (saarangi king). After working with All India Radio in Delhi for about a decade, he moved to Bombay in 1948 in search of a career as a music director in films. He got introduced to Kidar Sharma, who was so impressed by his musical acumen that he actually made some changes to his next production. Plans were underway for the film ‘Neki Aur Badi’, and Snehal Bhatkar was already assigned the music direction responsibility. After meeting with Roshan, Kidar Sharma had a talk with Snehal Bhatkar, who agreed to let Roshan handle the music department. That is how the debut break came Roshan’s way.

Rajkumari Dubey (1924 – 20/03/2000), popularly known as Rajkumari, was one of the earliest playback singers who dominated playback singing in the 40s. During my younger days, I used to identify her with a popular song ‘sun bairi balam sach bol re’ from the film BAAWRE NAIN (1952). It was her interview on Doordarshan in the 80s and some other video clips of her performances that made me to search for more of her songs. I found that she was not only an accomplished singer but also a ‘zinda dil’ (lively) person who zest for life was not dampened by her adverse financial condition in her later life.
