It has been incredible 15 days! I am touched and am honoured by the kind of response I am getting to my blog. The intention was exactly the same. I wanted the lovers of Hindi Cinema Music to come forward and talk about what made them lovers of this kind of music. I am thrilled to tell one and all, that this is happening! My friends, let us all join hands and preserve the treasure we have got!
Hindi Cinema Music is like a garden which has variety of flowers! You may love the fragrance of one flower and I may love another! But at the end of the day, we all are on the same side. Ras ke pujari aap bhi hain aur hum bhi, to hammein dooriyan kisliye (Roughly it means you and me , both are devotees of music, then why should there be any distance between us!)। I am here to spread love for our music, and I request all of you to do the same। Only being a lover of Hindi Cinema Music wont do! If you are in love with our music , then you have to spread it !
I have a very valid point to support what I have said earlier! How many of you have faced this - a kid dances to the tunes of Bachna Aye Haseeno and exclaims, damn Vishal - Shekhar are cool! They don't even know that this masterpiece was composed by a maestro named R. D. Burman ! For that matter the remix version of Mere Naseeb Mein Tu Hai, Leena O Leena, Yeh Mera Dil have been burning the dance floors for quite a while! I can guarantee you that the Youngistan (the new generation) don't even have a clue about the original composers and the singers of these songs. Add to that, they don't even know that there was a original song from where it has been ripped! Not knowing the facts is okay, but what is disastrous is the fact that they don't have the inclination to know the facts. This is no way their fault! The fault lies with us - have you ever informed your kid about the source behind these remixes and adaptations. I am sure, most of us dont care to do that, and that's why the ignorance. Doston (Friends), in this case ignorance is not bliss, it is a blunder!
Chitragupta, Usha Khanna, Roshan, Vasant Desai, Sonik Omi, Khemchand Prakash, Suman Kalyanpur, Shamshad Begum, Suraiya - does these names ring a bell? When was the last time you have heard their songs being played - there contributions have become extinct as far as the recall value is considered. Pull up your socks before the same happens to Shankar Jaikishan, Laxmikant Pyarelal, S. D. Burman, Mohd. Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar, Mukesh, and the rest of the Gods of Hindi Cinema Music!
जाने वो कैसे लोग थे जिनके प्यार को प्यार मिला
हमने तो जब कलियाँ मांगी कांटों का हार मिला !
Bye for now!
आपकी अपनी आवाज़
Vishal
