Karva chauth is a festival mainly associated with womenfolk, and as a result it is often forgotten by men. It is similar to men forgetting their wedding anniversaries, wife’s birthday etc. What does one do, when one realises this fact late ? One hurries up to make amends. And that is what I am trying to do just now. I have realised late that today is Karwa chauth festival, and so at this late hour, I am trying to push through some karwa chauth festival songs. 🙂

Jagjit Singh, the icon of ghazal singing in the subcontinent for the past three decades, passed away the day before (10th Oct, 2011).

Umrao Jaan was a legendary courtesan of Lucknow, though few people outside Lucknow may be much aware of her. But all that changed in 1980 when the movie “Umrao Jaan” was released.

It may be just my perception (and I will be happy to be proven wrong) but I think 1981 was a sort of musical compensation for 1980. Maybe it is just my taste but 1980 was one of those run-of-the-mill years for me as far as pleasant music is concerned.
