In our film industry,there were two types of actors. One-who were lucky and did not have to struggle at all to become successful as a Hero and Two-those who had to struggle hard to be a hero and successful. We are NOT talking about actors like Raj Kapoor, Shammi or Shashi kapoor or R D Burman, for whom already there was a base made by their fathers in the industry facilitating their acceptance and opportunities. However there are examples like Mehmood -son of a successful actor Mumtaz Ali and some other star sons who had to struggle hard to create their own space in the industry.

Some songs do this to you. You may be reading the mukhdaa, off and on, for days, or even months. And still it does not ring a bell anywhere. The memory of that song is so well buried under layers and layers of other things that merely the words do not mean anything. But put it on the player and let the sound come to you. The connect is immediate, and suddenly the miles thick layer of forgetfulness evaporates in one blink of the eye. You will immediately want to get up, and just move – OMG, this is the song. . . after so many years. . . literally in my face for oh so long . . . goodness. And if the song is as full of delight as this one, you will not be able to control the urge to dance along, or may be just tap your feet, or maybe just drum with your fingers, and surely you will want to sing along. And all the while, thanking whoever makes such things happen, that you have re-discovered this song. Like meeting a very very dear friend, unexpectedly, after years of being away. Isn’t that feeling. . . just simply absolutely fantastic.

Atul Song-A-Day 10K Song Milestone Celebrations – 49 (Post number 10003)

Internet became available to public in 1995, and it became available to Indian public in 1996. I became exposed to it in 1997 and I began to have internet connection at home from 1998 onwards.

Development of internet took place rapidly and internet forums came into existence soon. I was a cricket enthusiast and I was looking forward to join a cricket forum. I could not find an Indian cricket forum of my liking. There were cricket forums populated by loud, jingoist and abusive ignorants but those sites were not my cup of tea. I finally settled for a Pakistani cricket forum called pakcricbuzz (by now defunct). This was quite a sensible cricket forum and it had some Indians too in it. One Indian called Saurabh was one of its moderators. This happened in the second half of 2004.

We in this blog have more than twenty contributors. They are all diehard music enthusiasts. It is easy to assume that they eat music, drink music and live music. But in reality they are multifaceted personalities who have specialised in some other field. Music is a passion for them and they manage to find considerable time for this inspite of their preoccupation in their field of specialisation.

When Atul asked me if I could write an intro for Harvey as part of the 10K celebrations, I immediately said “yes”. I had no clue what I’d write but I knew that I’d have a lot of fun just putting my thoughts down on paper.

And indeed it is a great pleasure to write this intro about Harvey.

In 1973, he wrote the prescient lines that eventually would become a significant epitaph for him.

log mere geeton ko churaa kar dhaalenge afsaanon mein
mere dil ki aag bategi duniya ke parwaanon mein
waqt mere geeton ka khazaana dhoondegaa
dil ka soona saaz taraana dhoondega
teer e nigaah e naaz nishaana dhoondega
mujhko mere baad zamaana dhoondegaa

It is now a time tested experience. If I need to locate a real gem of a song for a particular artist, I simply search for one in completely obscure films that one may have just heard of. This technique has served well on many occasions in the past. And once again today. For this post, I wanted to locate a song that befits the memories of the artist. And as I checked out the films, I narrowed down on this one – ‘Dark Street’ from 1961. As I checked the song lists of this film, sure enough, hiding away here in this almost unknown film is this gem of a melody that is created by Dattaram.

Aah, the wonderful world of Chitragupt’s melodies. A composer par excellence, whose creations do never cease to surprise, as one continues to come encounter heretofore songs that seemed to have got lost in the folds of time. This song today is a very old friend from the radio listening days, that dipped below the horizons of memories for some time.

When I first saw Chetan Anand’s ‘Haqeeqat’ (1964), on TV, I was a pre teen kid, not old enough to really appreciate the human pathos and the emotions involved in the storyline. But of course, there are a few passages and images that simply stuck to my mind. Randomly they would pass through the mind’s screen. This would continue for many, many years till the time I revisited the film, and then sat through it for a complete view. This was after I had read a lot about this film, its background, its actors, and its impact on the public mind during those troubled war years of 1960s and early 1970.
