I cannot but help notice that the festivals of Holi and Deepawali are almost diametrically opposite to each other. They fall six months apart. Holi is observed on Poornima. Deepawali is observed on Amawasya. Holi is celebrated in day time (mostly first half of the day). Deepawali is celebrated at night time. On the day of Holi, roads are deserted. Public transport services that are usually jam packed run empty on this day. During Deepawali, public transport services run overbooked and there is no way one can get accomodation on trains on this day.

Today’s song is a NFS – NON-FILM SONG – of 1945, sung by Juthika Roy.
During my early years of writing on this Blog, I had run a series “The joy of NFS” in the month of June 2014, in which I had discussed 10 NFS songs by different singers. I have been a great fan of NFS, because in my younger age I was listening to them from time to time. However, the last NFS I wrote about was more than almost 2 years ago. While checking on Youtube for some other song, I accidentally saw this song and I was tempted to write on it. This song is uploaded by the well known collector Syed Zafar Shah, who has been generously uploading many old songs. May God increase his tribe !

Today (5 february 2015) is the first death anniversary of Juthika Roy (20 April 1920-5 february 2014).
As a tribute to the empress of bhajans, here is a sweet Kabir Bhajan sung by Juthika Roy. Details of this song regarding its year, music director etc are not known. Seeing that the word Kabir appears in the lyrics, it appears to be a Kabir bhajan.

THE JOY OF NFS (song No. 5)
———————————
Somewhere in the late 2011, AK ji of Songsofyore, had written on this Blog about the importance of NFS. After reading his views, I too wrote a rather lengthy comment supporting the inclusion of NFS on this Blog. Our contention was that, prior to the Hindi Film Music becoming popular all over India, it was those gazals, Geets and Bhajans, privately sung and recorded by various artists which had ruled the tastes of music lovers. In fact many famous singers had recorded NFS in the beginning phase of their singing careers. Some names are Talat Mehmood, Saigal, Pankaj Mullik, Jagmohan and JUTHIKA ROY !

For an average music lover in India, music means film music. The fact that there is a vast body of non film music as well is missed out by most. The non film music has its own audience, though sadly this niche audience is far smaller in number. Established fim movie singers have sung a few non fim songs. On the other end of the spectrum, there were singers who were primarily non film singers and who occasionally sang a few movie songs as well.

Now it has become an online collaboration of likeminded music lovers who are contributing their mite and that is helping build up a valuable online musical repository.

Main to Ram ratan dhan paayo

This article is written by Shekhar Gupta, a fellow enthusiast of Hindi movie music and a contributor to this blog.
Many have sung Meera bhajans – from classical greats like M.S. Subbulakshmi to Bollywood greats such as Lata Mangeshkar … and so many in between – and to their credit. But for me, Juthika Roy’s vocals and expression seem to be made for Meera bhajans. Her Meera numbers touch even my atheist heart! Juthika Roy’s private numbers are galore, but she seems to have sang for only three movies: Lalkar (1944) under the baton of C Ramchandra, Ratnadeep (1952) under Robin Chatterjee (Hindi and Bangla versions) and the Bangla movie Dhooli (1954) under Ranjan Sarkar.

Most music lovers,including me, are aware of the music composed in Hindi movies, but only a small fraction of these music lovers have been exposed to NFS that were also created during the same era.
