MY TOPIC OF THE DAY - by A L SREESHA
DEAR RAFI FOUNDATION MEMBERS !!!
My topic and song for the day.
Let me tell you how I began to enjoy Rafi saab's songs. This
will also be in the thread of ASM talking about the legend with
reference to 31st july with Babul song.
Let me tell you how I began to enjoy Rafi saab's songs. This
will also be in the thread of ASM talking about the legend with
reference to 31st july with Babul song.
In 1977, when I met ASM, I was tuned to listening to old Hindi songs
and was collecting a lot of casettes of Mukesh. I enjoyed Kishore,
Manna De, Hemant, and of course Lata, Asha, Suman Kalyanpur,
LakshmiShankar, Jesudas and Rafi saab.
ASM and I argued about who was better. Mukesh or Rafi. He slowly
started introducing me to the Music Direction, Lyrics and style of
rendition. I was following only melodious tunes and with my limited
Hindi knowledge and absolutely no knowledge of Urdu, I had not been
eager to listen to OHFM in that aspect. Once ASM grilled me for about
one year, my approach to Hindi Film Songs Changed.
"Jaane bahaar Husn tera be misaal hain actually changed my attitude
towards Rafi saab.
My frequent visits to Hyderabad and gatherings in my room by a few
Rafi Bhakts singing old songs, ASM's explicit detail of the song from
the film "Ghazal", with complete lyrics and meaning, my listening to
Mere Mehboob Tujhe by Rafi saab, my attending the concert of Shrikant
Narayan in Chowdiah Memorial and the superb compering by Iyer, my
little interaction with the legendry Raviji, Rafi Holiday Bangalore,
interaction with Narayan and his devotion to Rafi saab, Guru's
knowledge, involvement of Rafi bhakts like Bina, Asha, Alka, Snigs,
Raj, made me also a keen follower of Rafi saab. My membership with AR
elite group is slowly and steadily increasing my knowledge about the
profound topic called Rafi Saab.
Sreesha.
I hope this is a good topic of the day.
