Well one of these days, we may come to the bottom of this ocean of melody. Well yes, after all, the music that was created in the first four decades – has been created, and it is not possible to add to it anymore. And so one day we would have discovered all that is there to discover, and would have discussed it here on this blog. But as of now, there is still so much out there in front of us that thankfully, it is still going to be many years before this treasure gets exhausted. And I am sure there is enough for a lifetime. 🙂

This is the 10th and the last song of the series- SONGS BY NON SINGERS.

For me it has been a very hectic fortnight involving a very busy schedule. Luckily, I was able to locate all the songs’ video and Audio on You Tube but not without the customary hiccups.

Collecting authentic information about old, fogotten artists was also very challenging. To get atleast 10 songs, I dug out about 30 songs from films of 30s to 70s.

You must have heard the famous quotation,”Politics is the last resort of a scoundrel”. Though it is not true in ALL cases,it is used since long.

Similarly, the last resort of young boys who ran away from homes to Bombay in the 30s and 40s (and may be even today) was Hindi Films. For a growing Film industry there was a need for actors, singers, writers, technicians etc. Quantity was always available but quality was questionable. This field did not attract the educated gents from good families. So, whenever any educated i.e. a Graduate joined the industry, he was most welcome and he too would flaunt his degrees proudly. Thus you had a Lyricist named Moti,B.A. and Miss Kamal,B.A. in those days.

What came first ? Chicken or the egg ? This is perhaps one of the longest standing questions of all time. The question has not yet been resolved to this date. Naturally, of course.

Here is a fun song which begins with this line and then deals with some other equally and even more fun lines.

Greetings to all on the occasion of Basant Panchmi today, the festival that heralds the onset of the spring season. Although it is still the month of Maagh (as per the Hindu calendar) and the beginning of the month of Pha’gun, which is the month of colors, is still a few days hence, the season of colors and freshness has been initiated. (Pha’gun is the month of colors, and the last day of Pha’gun is the celebration of Holi, which will be celebrated on 8th March this year). Basant is also a huge celebration with our brethren across the border, and the festival of kite flying and sumptuous food is already in progress since the day before. In Lahore, Rawalpindi, Sialkot, Faisalabad, Kasur and across all of the Punjab, this festival is energetically celebrated as ‘Jashn-e-Baharaan’ (Celebration of Spring) or simply, Basant.
