Hullo to all Atulites
Morning times are the times when people generally listen to Bhajans and Pravachans and I am no different. Till a few years back my mornings used to begin with switching on the radio to Vividh Bharati or Radio Ceylon and music used to play through the day. Then the FM channels took over and there used to be a Channel Switching (or changing if I may say) exercise in between the various radio programmes and my own work activities. To add to the confusion, suddenly, TV went 24 hours along with giving us a bouquet of music channels to listen to. And then what happens to a music Buff like me? It was and is the biggest distraction for me especially during working hours.

Here is a joke. Understanding this joke requires some knowledge about cricket and its cricket players. 🙂

Insaaf ka taraazu
Posted on: September 27, 2013
“Insaaf Ka Taraazu” (1980) was based on an Western movie called “Lipstick” (1976). The movie dealt with a topic that was relevant then and sadly remains relevant even today.

In 1978, BR Chopra made this remarkable film ‘Pati, Patni Aur Who’. I call it remarkable because it is a rare occasion that the theme of marital infidelity is being dealt as a comedy. A happily married executive, wife of his liking through a love marriage, one child, and a comfortable household and life. What more can a man desire. Ah but yes, it is these ‘more’ desires of the man that are the thorn in the side.

“Sunayna” (1979) was a Rajshree Productions movie. It was produced by Tarachand Barjatya and directed by Hiren Nag. The story of the movie was inspired from Charlie Chaplin’s “City lights” (1931). I must say that I quite loved watching the movie in a then newly built mini sized movie hall in Ranchi in 1979. One of the lasting impressions of this movie in my mind include the extremely hummable title song viz. Sunayna sunayna..aaj in nazaaron ko tum dekho aur main trumhe dekhte huye dekhoon. The other lasting impression was Jagdeep playing a fellow jailbird of Naseeruddin Shah who tries to help Naseeruddin Shah escape out of jail. Instead of Naseeruddin Shah, Jagdeep finds himself out of the jail. And from then onwards Jagdeep tries very hard to go back inside the jail, but to no avail. 🙂

It is almost a month since the cloud burst over our beloved Himalayas. I have been watching the news intently ever since, specially the coverage on how the temple at Kedarnath is now. And I was in a flash back mode again.

Nazar aati nahin manzil

I have heard this song after some 20 years or so today. A regular song on Vividh Bharati. They played both Rafi Sahab and Chandrani Mukherjee’s versions frequently. Like many of those Rafi and Lata solo version songs, this one too is in memory, with one line following the other in the mind. So typing the lyrics is fast work. I thought the female version must be Lata’s. But it turns out that the female singer is Chandrani Mukherjee, who is gamely trying to match Rafi sahab pitch for pitch. On radio she sounded a lot better than on the ear phones on which I heard it now. The ear phones have no heart and no mercy for even the greatest of singers, so none are spared.

I am told by my daughter (don’t know how she keeps track of all this in between her tight schedule of finishing her projects etc) that today (15 april 2013) is Hasrat Jaipuri’s birthday. I am sure every one knows a lot about Hasrat Saab’s history, where he was born (Jaipur), his birth name (Iqbal Hussain). How he fell in love with a Hindu girl in his youth – the song “Yeh Mera Prem Patra Padhkar” was written for her (so says Wikipedia) which was later used in “Sangam” by Raj Kapoor.

I like the singing style of Yesudas. He has not done too many songs in Hindi, but his songs in CHITCHOR are still echoing in people’s ears. I have heard many songs of Yesudas in Malyalam. Though I did not understand the language, the voice of Yesudas was enough for me to enjoy them.
