I have mentioned it in a previous post that there are two sites that are blatantly copying the contents of this blog for the last several days. I had avoided mentioning these sites by name, hoping that better sense would prevail and I had acted in the manner advised on internet. Under such situations, the advise is to find the hosts of these sites and inform the hosts. I had informed the hosts of these two sites. One host seemed to be responding somewhat but the other host would only respond by sending an automated response everytime I emailed that host.

So I have been trying to get the words of this Gulzar number for the last one year. Hope I have got it right. Actually I began writing it for Gulzar’s birthday last year and then found that there are too many words coming out of Roop Kumar Rathod who had to keep up in pace with Nana Patekar’s style of speaking. So I let go of the song last time. And sent another song Itna lamba kash lo yaaron from the same movie. Then I had completely forgotten the whole thing.

The quest for songs picturized in the desert location, brings me back to this movie ‘Ham Dil De Chuke Sanam’ (1999).

The name is a handful, so its is shortened to HDDCS. This song is named mostly as ‘man mohini teri adaa’. As I typed the lyrics, no where are the these lines repeated, so that line is not a mukhdaa. I thought it better to name it by first line.

Here comes song no. 4 of ‘desert’ songs series. This is a personal favorite from the film “Ham dil de chuke Sanam”(1999). Since the story was in Rajasthan, so there are a few songs in the film picturized in desert location. This is a qawwali type sad song. First part of the song is in desert. The second stanza plays in the film right at the end. The video link I have found is only the first part of the song. However the audio link has full audio of the song.

Duniyaa jise kehati hai jaadoo ka khilonaa hai
Mil jaaye to mitti hai kho jaaye to sonaa hai

This couplet of a ghazal written by Nida Fazli, the modernist Urdu poet and writer, made him famous among mushaira goers. Later this full ghazal was sung by Jagjit Singh and Chitra Singh sometime in late 70s bringing Nida Fazli in the limelight in a wider canvass including Hindi film industry.

Today (23 september) is the birthday of Kedar Nath Bahttacharya, who is known to music lovers as Kumar Sanu. Kumar Sanu made his debut as a playback singer in Hindi movies in 1987 with “Aandhiyaan” (1987). He shot to fame with the songs of “Aashiqui” (1990) which became a rage with music lovers.

A few days ago the song “Ajeeb saanehaa mujh par guzar gayaa yaaron” from “Gaman”(1979) sung by Hariharan was posted. This has reminded me of a couple of songs of Hariharan which are my personal favourites. Here is a song from the Film “Ham dil de chuke Sanam” (1999) which Hariharan sang. The music score is by Ismail Darbar and lyricist is Mehboob. And Kavita Krishnamoorthy’s voice is also there at the end of the song, singing no words only the alaap. So technically it is a duet.

Janmashtami is a festival that is celebrated all over the country by all hindu communities. It signifies the birth of Lord Krishna in the Jail where Devaki was imprisoned. The story is that after he was born Vasudeva transports him to Gokul to the home of Yashoda. Hence the next day, viz. the day after Janmashtami is celebrated as Gokulashtami with his life in Gokul being re-enacted as Dahi Handi. As Yashoda was the one who brought him up, she is often regarded as the Maiyya of Krishna. For me the festival entails having sweets being fried, and then stored in the house for me to eat in “krishna-style” for the next few days. 😀
