In this post I am presenting a song composed by Bhupen Hazarika.

Bhupen Hazarika was born on 8th of September’1926 in Sadiya, Assam. He left this worldly place on 5th of November 2011.

Bhupen Hazarika needs no introduction to music lovers all over the world. Known as the ‘Bard of the Brahmaputra’ he wrote over eight hundred songs in Assamese. His love for his mother tongue and his culture, particularly the folklore of Assam, can be experienced in his poetry, lyrics, compositions and parables that speak of the socio-political and other general folk landscape of Assam. As a music composer he used the folk music with a touch of contemporary.

Today’s song is from the film Mahapooja aka Shri Satyanarayan Katha-1954.

Shri Satyanarayan is not an avatar of Vishnu. It is a form of Maha Vishnu. The pooja is described in Skanda Puran, in which Lord Vishnu tells Narad how this puja will help the Human beings in times of stress in Kaliyug. The custom of following this Vrat and doing Satyanarayan pooja gained momentum in the period of the ‘Bhakti Movement’, which began from the 7th century in South India – Tamilnadu – and peaked all over the rest of India during the 15 th to 17 th century.

This article is his 1400th contribution in the blog as a guest poster.

This is my 1400th post on this Blog. For me, it is like a big dream. I feel I will wake up and find that this figure was only a dream figure ! But looks like it is all real.

While I am glad for this new Milestone, it is still a mystery how it has happened. When I retired from my service in 1998 and later from all professional activities in 2010, I was thinking what to do now. Then one day I remembered about my old notebooks in which I had written about the old films which I saw in my younger days and I opened those Pandora’s boxes. A new world opened before me. I bought a Laptop and learnt how to operate it from my grandchildren, who seemed to be born with that knowledge ! I was 71 years old then.

Today’s song is a Debut song for its singer- Music Director, S. Purushottam, who sang his only song in a Hindi film ever. The film was Apna Desh-1949.

Normally, the Indian film audience likes to see films which uphold the age old Indian values like, ” Truth prevails” or ” Good wins over evil ” or ” Real Love triumphs ” and such other things. Over a period, certain beliefs had been built over matters like entertainment. When only the stage dramas were available as the source of entertainment, people expected that a Joker (Vidushak) is a necessity in every drama. Even the oldest Sanskrit drama like ” Mrichhkatik” used to have a Vidushak (Joker) in it. In social dramas there always would be a funny character producing laugh and humour. Similarly, when Talkie films started, presence of songs was taken for granted and songs were very much a part of the film in any language, sometimes even as a background song.

Pancham’s Music – Eighties (1981-1990)

Today 27th June’2024 is the birth anniversary of Rahul Dev Burman. On this occasion we are paying our tributes to him by posting some of the songs composed by him.

For the last few years I have been regularly listening to songs composed by R.D. Burman on radio or on playlist recorded in a pen-drive. It is always a pleasure to listen to the songs composed by Pancham as many RD Burman songs composed by him are my favourites. Listening to his well known songs as well as songs that I was not aware of is a new experience now. I during my growing up years may not have been able to discern the nuances of his music, including music created through unconventional ‘instruments’.

Today’s song is a duet from the film Sajni-1956. This song is of some significance. It is a song sung by a pair of Husband-wife. Of course this is not unique. Earlier also there were a few such songs by Husband-wife pairs. What is significant is that this was their last duet in a film. The pair was Sudhir Phadke and Lalita Deulkar Phadke. What’s more, with this song Lalita ended her film singing career also !
