Greetings to all friends and readers for on today’s festival of Raakhi. I hope and pray that celebrations have been happily enjoyed in all households.

Ten years now that we have been celebrating this festival online on our blog. In the early years, as one browses through the articles posted, there was always this apprehension as to how many songs related to this festival may be found. But then the going has been good and strong, and noting the contribution sent in by group members, I think we are still good for a few years to come, to continue this celebration online. Folks have been sending in Raakhi songs from the recent decades, and we have also been searching and locating songs from the 1940s and 1950s still waiting to be posted.

“Naiyya”(1979) was directed by Prashant Nanda for Chanda Pictures, Bombay. I became aware of this fact when I discussed the earlier songs from this movie. Initially I was under the impression that this movie was a Rajshree Productions movie and once again I reverted back to the same impression with passage of time 🙂

The enticement of the tinsel world of films has fostered many real life stories of people from all walks of life giving up their professions and jobs, with an aspiration to make it a success in the film world. The story of the famous composer Chitragupt (full name Chitragupt Stivastava) is also of this kind. Born in 1917 in Karmaini (Chhapra District), Bihar, Chitragupt did a double MA in Economics and Journalism, and was working as a lecturer in Patna. In the early 40s, he gave it all up and came to Bombay with a dream to make it big, not as an actor, but as a singer and music director. He worked as an assistant with SN Tripathi, who became his mentor. In 1946, Chitragupt got his first independent assignment as a composer for the movie Toofan Queen. Not a success on the box office, the film did nothing much to help progress Chitragupt’s career. He would do another 20 odd films between 1946 and 1952, before coming into his own in the early 1950s. The 1952 film Sindbad the Sailor, though not a huge success in itself, its music was very successful. In 1955, SD Burman recommended him to the AVM studios (in Madras), which started an association that lasted for many years. During this time, he composed music for many hit films from AVM viz., Mein Bhi Ladki Hoon, Barkha, Mein Chup Rahoongi, Bhaabhi etc.
