We missed a major anniversary three days ago. Remembering (belatedly) the litterateur, and the famous poet and lyricist, Pt. Narendra Sharma. 28th February, 2013, is the 100th birth anniversary of this illustrious man of letters. Narendra ji was born in 1913 in the village called Jehaangirpuri, in the vicinity of Bulandshehar in Uttar Pradesh, in a Brahmin Gaud family. He was a bright student. Despite losing his father at a very young age, he continued his education, while doing part time work to support himself. In 1936, he completed his Masters in Hindi Literature from Allahabad University.

Pandit Narendra Sharma came to the film industry after having excelled in the field of academics and Hindi Literature as an author, teacher, editor and publisher. His songs have a simplicity, yet they are woven with such chaste choice of words from Hindi language. Listening to his poetry and his writings from films is like a shower of fresh flowers – soft, fragrant and very pleasing to the heart and mind. The sounds of “Yashomati Maiyyaa Se Bole Nandlala”, (‘Satyam, Shivam, Sundaram’, 1978) or “Bhanwre Ne Khilaaya Phool Phool Ko Le Gayaa Raaj Kunwar” (‘Prem, Rog’, 1982), or “Tum Aasha Vishwaas Hamaare” (‘Subah’, 1982) are very endearing to the heart. And even before, looking at the earlier decades, the songs like “Mann More Huaa Matwaala” in the voice of Suraiyya from the film ‘Afsar’ (1950), and “Kahaan Udd Chalen Hain Mann Praan Mere” from the film ‘Bhaabhi Ki Choodiyaan’ (1961) come from his pen.

In my younger days, my uncle used to play M S Subbulakshmi’s (MS) LPs of Venkateshwara Suprabhatam or Vishnu Sahastranamam early morning every day which I used to resent as it became virtually a wake-up alarm for me. But as days passed, I not only started liking her renditions, some of its verses got stored in my mind.
