So finally I am here fully enthusiastic and encouraged by one and all. One and all here means the lovers of our music - the sangeet - the Hindi film music! It was high time one spoke about the various aspects of Hindi film music, and this is what this blog intends to do. Every now and then I'll pick up a topic which may range from the very old times to the most recent times and put across my views on them. The only common thing will be that I'll focus on the positive aspects of Hindi film music.
One of the objectives of this blog is that it has been started to make you aware about the very finer points of Hindi film music - those little things that have got lost in the passing times. It'll be my sincere effort to make you aware of those things that existed but you never knew!
Now the question that may arise in your mind is what makes me eligible to start this blog? Who am I?
The answer to these questions is that I am you! I am not a musicologist trying to put across any special qualities or the special nuances of Hindi film music! I am a common man just like you who has been listening to Hindi film music from the time I was born, and I know I'll continue to do so till the time I die! Yes, one thing that may be of some interest to you is that I have a collection of around 16000 Hindi film songs from 1940's till the most recent ones. Listening to all these songs made me realise that there is much more hidden in all these songs than what appears!
I dont have immaculate writng skills and I request to everybody out there that they forgive me if they find anything that they may not appeal to them.
No way this blog will become a platform for any kind of hatred to anybody in particular. I'll try to keep this blog as a forum where you and I can discuss about Hindi film music in general. No mud slinging or personal venedetta shall be encouraged.

Hi, found you through Third Floor (you are waiting for Chhaila Babu too ;-)...
ReplyDeleteI'm not Indian, but I've been loving Hindi films for about 5-6 years now, and I particularly love the music from the 50s through the 70s...I have about 8000 of them on iTunes, can't imagine having double that! I will keep checking in here!
Cheers!
