It is raining cats and dogs in Mumbai for the last month. I have had three visits out of town during the last one and half month, which is bad enough. And more socializing than usual and some busy anxious days in the office, had me juggling so many things. Then there was cleaning and re-organizing the home also had to find place in this melee. This is the reason why I have been missing a lot of happenings on the blog. Moreover this is likely to continue for at least two months, with Ramazan coming up soon, and visitors from abroad. And possibly more outstation trips.

Anil Biswas seemed to be one of the most admired personalities among the Hindi film actors, singers and poets. It was said that his house used to be full of film personalities most of the time.He stayed in Dadar At that time which was a central point for visiting most of the studios such as Ranjit Studios, Famous Studios, Sri Sound Studios, Jyoti Studios etc. Some times I feel that his house was used for what is called in today’s parlance as a ‘networking’ place. As it was often said, music directors those days held each other in high esteem and did not mind sharing information of mutual interest. I think that in the initial stage of Lata Mangeshkar’s career, apart from her beautiful voice, Anil Biswas had a major share in shaping her playback singing career along with Master Ghulam Haider. Apart from grooming her in attaining perfection in playback singing, he introduced her to Raj Kapoor for songs in ‘Barsaat’ (1949) which was her first collaboration with Raj Kapoor. He may have probably introduced her to some more producers and music directors in the late 40s.

MAHASHIVRATRI greetings to all readers !
In India all our social customs, traditions, calenders and Festivals are linked to Agriculture, because basically,even today, we are an Agricultural country. With almost over 70% population (as against 85% in 1947) living in Villages and depending on farming, even in these days. No wonder if all our major events have an Agricultural base.

In my life so far, I have yet to see a person who is a 100% Atheist. Many people claim that they do not believe in God, but when in difficulty, they pray to God only.

I was a bit surprised to note that Mohammed Rafi had to struggle for nearly 5 years to establish him as one of the leading male playback singers in Hindi film industry. It is said that he recorded his first song for a Punjabi film as early as 1942. It took him another 2 years to get his first song in a Hindi film ‘Pahele Aap’ (1944), a duet with Shyam thus beginning his long lasting collaboration with Naushad. It took another year for him to get an opportunity to sing his first solo song ‘ae dil-e-nakaam tamanna’ in ‘Hamara Sansaar’ (1945) followed by ‘teraa khilonaa toota baalak’ in ‘Anmol Ghadi’ (1946), the latter one under the baton of Naushad.
