BHAJAN MALA – GOLDEN 50S (Pushp- 6)
————————————-

I remember that we had just shifted to our new flat in 1984. It was a spacious building, with plenty of open space all around and at the rear side there was some big open space enough for a Badminton Court and a small garden along the compound wall. This open space was sometimes used by the residents for small functions and private parties. One day, one of our neighbours, Mr. Markan,invited my family for a programme of ” Mata’s Jagaran “, which he was holding before his son’s marriage. Jaagaran is a programme, running through almost the whole night, singing Mata’s ( Devi’s) bhajans, doing Pooja etc. This was our first such experience and we accepted the invitation with excitement.

BHAJAN MALA – GOLDEN 50s (Pushp-3)
—————————————

There is a class of people, who make faces when a Mythological film is mentioned. According to them, seeing such films is ” outdated ” and ” Fundamentalist ‘. They feel that those who see such films are way behind the times. These people forget that in the so called ” advanced” world of Hollywood, even today,Mythological,costume and Historical films are regularly produced. Only thing is that these films are no longer advertised on the same scale as was the case a few decades back.

Real life has no control experiments. In the sense that one cannot experiment with real life. One cannot re enact the passages of life which
have already passed, and try them with a different set of parameters. Time once gone, cannot be relived. And events and passages once experienced, cannot be replayed. The seductive thought process – ‘yun hota to kya hota’ (‘Ah, only if it were so’) is an exercise in speculation, for one cannot decisively say whether the results in life would have been different, had one taken a different path and made some different choices. It is all speculation, and nothing else.

Nainon se naina milaa ke – Song no. 14
——————————————

The summer vacation have started for school going children. With upcoming long weekends and only three working days in between, this might have been a good opportunity to go on a vacation somewhere cool calm and quite. For those who are able to plan well in advance and have been good all year round to be able to take time off work, anyway. And for some of us who are not able to plan in advance, it is the same heat and dust of Mumbai. Of course there are a few hill stations close by where one may just decide to pay a visit, on a spur of the moment. But at this time of the year those places like Lonavla , Mahableshwar and Matheran etc are teeming with holiday makers. There is no calm and quite to be had at these popular spots. Lately these spots have turned into the places where no season is off season, the proximity to Mumbai is the reason.

A very special song for Mohammad Rafi fans. This is what is real effortless singing. He makes it sound as if it is his ‘baayen haathh ka khel’. And it was his forte to seamlessly go from one mood to another, go from light, comic mode to qawwali, sounding quite serious and melodious and switch to western style, all in the space of less than a minute. If what I say does not make sense, than one can only listen to this song and confirm. What range and what smoothness of voice and diction. And adding the punjabi tadka too in a spoken line towards the end of the song.

When I plan to write an article for any series or a song, I ensure that I gather more than necessary material,so that I can select the desired material from that.In such exercises,many times I come across some unusual songs-in the sense that sometimes the singer is uncommon,or the theme of the song is different,or the composer is special or even the song is too obscure but needs an exposure. In such cases,I keep these songs in the ‘Draft’ section of my computer,to be used in future, at an appropriate time.
