In this blog, I have compared this musical journey to a road journey as well as a train journey. Cricket world cup is going on these days so I can find some resemblence between cricket and this blog as well. 🙂

In limited overs cricket, the team chasing a total needs to maintain its asking rate and should not allow the asking rate to climb too high as that puts too much of pressure in the last few overs. Like cricket teams, we too “bat” at certain asking rate. Six songs a day was the asking rate that we easily used to maintain in the past. We were in great form during 2011 when we in fact maintained the asking rate of 7 to 8 songs a day for several months. 🙂

I am presenting a song ‘tumne mujhse prem jataa kar’ from the film WAAPAS (1943). At first, the voice of the singer in the song appears to be that of Jagmohan Sursagar. In fact, one of the uploaders of the audio clip has mentioned Jagmohan Sursagar’s name as the singer of this song. Actually, the song is sung by the singer-actor Asit Baran. I am not surprised with this slip up on the part of the uploader. I for once also felt that the voice was that of Jagmohan Sursagar. The music composition of the song also gives an impression that it is a non-filmy song. The song is written in a ghazal format by Munshi Zakir Hussain which is set to music by R C Boral.
