FLUTE : AAJA RE PARDESI SONG FROM FILM MADHUMATI and MY NOSTALGIC MEMORY
Kamath-ji
The anecdote on this song and the flute version is excellent .You said the other song Ghadi Ghadi is also of the same Raag .I cannot find resemblance. Salil Choudhry is genius who made these 2 songs so different in spite of being set on same raag Bageswari. I know one Tamil song of MSV ( kONJA NERAM) in Bageswari. I am not sure whether Malai Pozhuthil Mayakkathile old Vishvanathan Ramamurthi number is also in Bageswari.Not sure
Your encounter with Kalyanji was so interesting to read
Enjoyed listening to this beautiful piece in flute
Thanks

How I found homes for Choti's Pups....
Dev Kumar
I realised how difficult it is to keep the dogs .You had taken care of the 7 pubs like our children and found homes for them .Very interesting to read and to note how much you cared for them. The photos with the families who took these pubs are excellent.
Great job well executed .How many of us would have been patient like you!
Thanks

Three cheers for the thrills of ‘Teesri Manzil ‘! – ‘Matinee with me’
SVN
Well atlast I got the first day first show for your Matinee ! Today I was feeling little dull and I needed something to pull my spirits up ! That is what this Matinee provided to me
Kya Film Hai? Kya Review hai ?Hats off to you for taking us live to Sion for the Matnee show of 1966 . Teesri Manzil is the best musical besides being a thriller.
You have covered everything about the movie but I need something to add isnt it?
Nasir Hussain was the mentor of RD Burman .Baharon Ke Sapne was the First movie if I am correct . For Every movie of Nasir Husain RDB used to compose 45 to 50 songs till the last movie and ask Nasir Husain to choose 6 or 8 Numbers from them .I heard that they had such a tough time in choosing the 6 Nos for the movie So much was the creativity of Chota Burman those days
About Aaja when RD Burman composed he was not sure as it was not a conventional song .Asha Bhosle was so confident about the song .She went to Lata and asked for her opinion after singing the first few lines whether the song will work. Lata said that it will be a big hit and asked them to record it.
Rafi and Lata used to practice for 2 weeks on Aaja. Strangely Rafi had a tough time in catching the variations of the song unlike Asha Bhosle who got it right within a few rehearsals as per RD Burman
So nice of Jaikishan to appreciate the songs of RD Burman .SJ was ruling at that time.Teesri Manzil was the beginning of the RD Burman era and the association of RDB with Nasir Husain went on for another 15 years . Sometime later for another Matinee !
Kudos to Vijai Anand for directing this thriller . He directed another thriller later Johnny Mera Naam which was equally good for Dev Anand and also Jewel Thief and who can forget Guide the masterpiece
Shammi's acrobatic dances along with graceful Asha Parekh dance movements made a deadly combination.
Thanks for this Matinee and hopefully see your next Matinee soon
Thanks for lifing my spirit!
Best Regards
Sivaram
