Instance of Purity!

The days when treating myself with these melodies in the morning and evening was a practice, waiting for this song in radio ceylon’s Hindi service ‘aap hi ke geet’ was joyful and is still cherished. I could treasure this eternal gift in my little mind after savouring it's beauty a number of times.
Just listen to the opening piece and the interludes... the flute..the sitar...bulbul.. awesome work... and Lata's humming...there are no words to describe her performance. Can there be anything more natural than this. Lyrics beautifully written by Jaan Nissar Akhtar and tune wonderfully composed by Jaidev who also was the assistant for the famous composers like S.D Burman and Madan Mohan, this immortal melody is from the movie 'Prem Parbat'.









Lata, Melody, Gift, natural

Maestros Magic

When I was recollecting the tunes from 'Sadma' gifted by Maestro Ilaiyaraaja I found another precious gift from Him recently. The Magical tunes from 'PAA'. Enjoy Maestros Magic!

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.

Stream of honey!

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.
This lovely melody from the movie 'Maha Chor' is composed by RD Burman and performed by Lata and Kishore.

Lovely days!

Soft and soothing!

Growing up with vividh bharathi is something wonderful. This song from the movie 'Swayamvar' released in 1980 is penned by Gulzar and set to tune by Rajesh Roshan. Rafi's voice is heart touching and Lata's voice is soul soothing! Enjoy this melody.

Soft and soothing!
