World Music Day

The following are some never-seen and never-thought-of pictures that will make your eyeballs pop out. Sensationalism finds a new height. Whether these pics are real or morphed or not, herbal one cannot tell. But as of now they present the zenith of unimaginable intent.

Presenting Mallika Shehrawat, viagra approved fully dressed. Yes, order yes – not even a cleavage peeping out of the stifled confines of clothes. If these pics are real, hats off to Mallika for going through the photo shoot in suffocating conditons of full clothes!

Mika-Rakhi Face Off

Mika got the royal snub when he tried to make Rakhi Sawant his kiss kiss ki kiss-mate and the media went berserk over this smooch ado about nothing drama. For those who came in very late – On Mika’s birthday party, Sawant smothered Mika with cakes and kisses. When Mika reciprocated zealously, Sawant’s bhartiya naari within woke up and before he could say ‘something something’, she screamed foul – not about Mika’s breath, but about the incident.

Last month, Sawant was all over the channels for vulgarity charges. Recently, she has been giving many a Bollywood bimbo a cut-cloth competition in her field.

In her interviews, she aggressively claimed, ‘my fans love me’! Honestly, I will like to meet these demented souls – and send them to a psychiatrist for treatment!

Rahul Mahajan

Rahul’s mahajung continues; though not in the mainstream news any longer , still it’s poppy-ing out at regular intervals. There is something about sensationalism that makes you return to it again and again.

Unless you have just landed from Mars, you would know that late Pramod Mahajan’s son was caught with powders that were not thanda thanda cool cool! As the story progressed from conspiracy to champagne to cocaine (and the nation went from shock to to sympathy to sneer), the media quickly withdrew it from its main slots – but the symptoms are clear: too many news channels spoil the television broth!

By the end of these repeat telecasts and newspaper reports, everyone would have had a refresher course on the difference between cocaine and heroin (and any other drug), champagne and sparkling wine, middle class and rich brats – which essentially, this whole story is all about.

John Aur Con

Overhead in a busy mall – a smart kid telling his excited mom, who was pushing her child to fill the contest form wherein the winner gets to act with John Abraham, ‘ Mom, that’s all ok, but are you sure John will act!’ Touche!

Kids these days, I tell you, are very smart. And are not going to be taken by media’s forcing of i-cons!

But must admit, generally speaking John does have a special place with kids  – as does Hrithik Roshan. Which reminds me, Hrithik has clambered out of his media hibernation, and is these days the most seen person, while Aamir has slithered back into hiding again – till the next release, that is!

Kaala Kaala Chashma

Big B ki amar-vyatha got a chapter added when the income tax department  allegedly delivered yet another notice. To which, Big B gave a decent and extremely well-worded reply. In this chhitti-chhitti baatein, Amar Singh again got badi badi time space on channels as he came out to defend his ‘friend’ – he also alleged that Big B is being hounded unnecessarily by someone from a family who was so-nia to them once-upon-a-history!

Bitchy Comment of the Day

Soha Ali Khan states, “People tell me that I look as if I belong to another century. I guess that’s a compliment”. Or perhaps, they mean that she looks like a ghost 😛

Today is World Music Day – and I cannot let this day pass without saying a prayer and thanks to the musical legend who has been one solid constant in my life; one who epitomises music; one who has inspired generations – LATA MANGESHKARji, malady aap ko shat shat pranaam. You are the beginning and end of music!

On this day I also remember and bow before other legends who have colored my life with their golden voices: Mohd. Rafi, Mukesh, Kishore Kumar, Hemant Kumar and Manna Dey. My thanks to Asha Bhonsle for her songs, and also praise to some contemporary voices like Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik, Shreya and Sonu Nigam.

A day dedicated to music cannot be completed without a mention of three of my most favorite composers – Madan Mohan and Shankar-Jaikishan.

However, there are many others whose contributions have had significant impact on me viz. Naushad, Anil Biswas, Husnlal Bhagatram, SD Burman, C. Ramachandra, Chitragupt, Sardar Mallik, Kalyanji-Anandji, RD Burman, Laxmikant-Pyarelal and Bappi Lahiri. My sincere thanks to many contemporary music composers as well , listing them out will not be possible here.

Words add beauty to music. Shailendra, Hasrat Jaipuri, Rajendra Kishan, Raja Mehndi Ali Khan, Shakeel Badayuni, Majrooh Sultanpuri, Anand Bakshi, Javed Akhtar and Gulzar and to many others I have missed out to mention – thanks for your invaluable words which have touched my heart and soul.

Listing out every artiste of each music field is impossible. But everyone’s contribution is always important, and somewhere it does make an impact.

Lastly, my reverance to Goddess Saraswati, who gave this priceless gift to mankind called music!

  2. MEHAK – Arre waah, that was fast. I just posted this 😀

  3. mannat says:

    Me second! I must admit that I have not heard names of many musicians/singers you mentioned in here (Husnlal Bhagatram, Chitragupt, Sardar Mallik).Well, hope the years to come are filled with the melodious tunes and voices.

  4. MANNAT – I am sure you would have heard their creations if no their names…

    eg, Sardar Mallik’s Mukesh solos ‘Haan deewana hoon main’ and ‘Saaranga teri yaad mein’ are quite famous.

    Husnlal- Bhagatram gave us that impish Lataji song ‘ Chup chup khade ho zarur koi baat hai pahli mulaqat hai ji’

    Chitragupt gave innumerable sweet numbers like ‘Dil ka diya jalake gaya yeh kaun meri tanhai mein’ and ‘ Laagi chhoote na ab toh sanam chaahe jaaye jiya teri qasam’

    I was expecting similar kind of post and was clicking on ur website again n again. But I dont know what was wrong, it wasnt opening at all. And I faced the same thing with my Yahoo too.
    I cant imagine my life without hearing Her voice. We are fortunate that we are born in this era. What if we would born and died before 1947? My sincere thanks to Lata Mangeshkar and all other singers, music directors, lyricists and other artists. In sabko mere shat shat pranaam!

  6. Silky Moon says:

    Kudos You too who else than you can come up with such a nice post 😀

    But I really surprised not see the TWO names who are inspirations of our Lata Di.

    I mean K.L. Segal and Noorjanha. You have forgotten or just missed them.

    Like you my sincere Thanks and Respect to all the known and unknown all the people who are related with the music.

  7. Silky Moon says:

  8. Anz says:

    I cant imagine my life without music…however, for me i respect music n its creators n artists….i dont need 1 particular day to thank someone…though i respect them every single day!!!!….Sincerely thank these people without whom life would have lost its musical notes!!!

    Nice post DJ

  9. Madhu – Yep there was a day’s outage in the server. True, we are very lucky. Listening to ‘Ghiri ghataayen’ right now as I type this , its raining here as well 😀

    Silky Moon – Yep I forgot them, and also Ravi.

    Read the story and commented.

    Anz – LOL, that same argument that u dont need one day to remember someone /something 😀 But yeah u r abs right, without music life wud hv been so awful.

    Deepakji, very pleasant to see your Pranam to Music and Goddess Saraswati.
    I am a little worried why Talat Mahmood, who was remarked to be THE GOLDEN VOICE OF INDIA and KING OF GHAZALS, who had left his imprints
    on melody music before many of the artists quoted, is forgotten by Deepakji!
    The combination of Madan Mohan and Talat Mahmood is like flesh and blood of golden music. In our musical circles, there is even a pun on their combination, “Madan Mahmood and Talat Mohan!”.
    So, let us not forget the great Crooner Singer who was compared to
    Elvis and others.

    Regards and Best wishes for your BLOG!
