Jagjit Singh's timeless ghazals

-

I have listed my favorite ghazals of Jagjit Singh. So many times I have listened to these ghazals, but every time I fall in love with them. These ghazals are so fresh that every time I listen to them, they sound new. Hats off to Jagjit Singh and the lyricists of these songs. My most favorite amongst these are "Jeevan kya hai" because it explains the philosophy of life. These ghazals and the "shayari" in them teaches you a lot. The line "jo ashak na chalke aankho" se from the ghazal "gulshan ki fakat" is so motivating. "Ankhari hichki tere zano pe aaye"  from the song, "apne hoton par sajana" brings tears in eyes. Every ghazal touches the heart. Some are romantic, some are sad and some are philosophical. I have been listening to these ghazals since my childhood and there are so many sweet memories associated with them.  If you try to understand the meaning of every line of these ghazals, you will enjoy them more.

My father-An Unsung Hero

My father-An Unsung Hero This story is about my father  “Shyamsundar Pandit Deshpande”  who was an ordinary man with extraordinary deeds. I don’t know how many of my friends would co-relate with this story but what I felt while writing my father’s story was something unexplainable. Going down memory lane, recalling old days spent with my father gave a true satisfaction.  A few days back I spoke to my mother over the phone. The date was on 27th Jan and like every year, we reminisced about my father’s last day in our house. It happened to be the day when he had dinner from my mother’s hands for the last time. On the 28th I got a call from my mother; he was kept on a ventilator. For the next two days, he was critical and on 30th Jan he left us. His age was 76. In those two days, amidst the hustle-bustle of the hospital, I could not even realize that he was leaving us. Over these years, I have started missing him more. In the past four years, not a single day has passed without thinkin

Tribute to Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma will always be remembered amongst music lovers for his unparalleled perfection in playing the complex instrument, santoor. He was born on 13 January 1938 in Jammu and Kashmir, India in a musical family. His father was a famous vocalist and tabla player. Pandit Shiv Kumar Sharma developed interest in music right from his childhood. He started learning santoor when he was thirteen and in 1955 he gave his first public performance in Mumbai. In 1956, he also composed background music for one scene in the film, Jhanak Jhanak Payal Baje. He collaborated with flutist Hariprasad Chaurasia and composed music for several hit films under the collaborative name Shiv Hari. I have listed some of the beautiful songs composed by Shiv Hari.
