Spring showers

Spring enters with a warm basket of lovely flowers.The season being the reason of love, showers music and spreads the feeling of being happy.This is also a reason to get dragged into the world of fantasy. Dwelling here is greatly enjoyable.Dulhan vahi jo piya man bhaye entered in the year 1977 and singer Hemlatha's song 'Letho aye ho hamen' was welcomed with smiling hearts. With lyrics and Music of Ravindra jain, songs from this movie became perennial favourites.

Colours of Love

Loosing the game of love, makes one appreciate the importance of life. Love is life or life is love, these lines remain powerless and the certainty is, love and life are the two faces of the same coin. Love is emotion while life is realistic. Emotions keep away realism and realism does not allow emotions. Life still exists when there is no love but love becomes extinct when there is no life.
Lata’s haunting melody from the movie ‘Prempujari’ tells that it’s not necessary to slowdown the flow of a sad song. With music composed by SD Burman and Lyrics written by Neeraj, this song was released in 1970.

Relaxwell!

Remembering a navaratri eve when the kids of the colony performed this song. Their tender voices are still ringing in the ears. The song from ‘Kala Pathar’ was composed by Rajesh Roshan and performed by Lata and Rafi. With all the natural sounds, it surely lets us lighten up.  Impressive lyrics are  by Sahir Ludianvi. It was the most wanted song.  ‘Kala Pathar’ also had another popular song called ‘Ek rastha hai jindagi’. Now you enjoy ....

Relaxwell!

Pleasure hunt!

Those were the days when ‘Mausam was always Deewana’ with songs like this. Every actor used to ensure that the music in his movie remained melodious. The meaning of music itself was melody in those days. This peppy number from the movie ‘Warrant’ was the favorite of many. Waiting for this song in ‘Chitrahaar’ was really  enjoyable. With the combination of so many natural instruments, the  prelude and the interludes sound amazing. Added to the beauty is Kishore Kumar’s effortless singing. Music composed by R.D.Burman and lyrics beautifully penned by Anand Bhakshi, this film was released in 1975.

Pleasure hunt!

Melody Time

When I first looked at you
I thought you were sitting like a ball on the wall
When I saw your moving hands
I enjoyed staring at you without knowing your significance
You were helpful to me in practising 123
and When I learnt multiples of five
I could know what is 'Time'
When I saw you running fast
I realised how important you are
I tried to get you slow
But you politely said 'NO'

'Time' is the most precious gift for anyone on this earth. 'Samay tu dheere dheere chal' is a song with heavily loaded lyrics by Bharat Vyas and Rajkavi Tulsi  from the film 'Karm' released in 1977. Composed by R.D. Burman and performed by Asha and Kishore, it remains the favourite till date.

Stream of honey!

In the year 1983, the ears of the music lovers received a stream of melodies from Maestro Ilayaraja, who presented a unique form of music which was a perfect blend of western and Indian musical forms. He applied this form of music to match every kind of mood that is demanded by situations in Indian films.
Producing innovative tunes and incredible interludes with violins,flutes, guitars etc is a piece of cake for Him. This song from the movie 'Sadma', beautifully rendered by Suresh Wadkar is still the favourite of many.

Remarkable twilight!

One more instance of purity and simplicity. This song reflects the attitude of the people during those days. Minds were less disturbed hence more matured. I remember listening to this song in various radio stations and imagining the beauty of the song. It was when the doordarshan aired the movie 'Humjoli' on one Sunday evening, we could enjoy the clean picturization of the song. Tune was set by Laxmikant pyarelal and the beautiful lyric was by Anand Bakshi. Can’t stop admiring the velvety voices of Rafi and Asha.

Remarkable twilight!

Lovely days!

when my mind gets distressed by witnessing the merriment going around over the spurious music by some ignorant and nefarious music lovers, I call to my mind the music that i was brought up with. Before long, peace comes to me. I once again start thinking how precious life is and how much blessed our generation is.

Dreamy moment!

Where there is Simplicity there is Godliness. Simplicity is one of the fortunes of our country. However, we have started spending it to gain fame and popularity and are trying hard to prettify ourselves with fake modesty. Can’t we be famous yet simple? Alternatively, Can’t we be simple yet famous? This is a big doubt for me.
