Salil Chowdhury  (19 November 1925 – 5 September 1995). Salil da was not only a music director but he was a writer, poet and lyricist too.

Nothing better could have been there to make weekend romantic, it's nostalgia and musical treat combined today.

Every song you have prescribed has memory behind it , may it be anand , choti si baat or ragnigandha.majority of my generation people would have gone reciting these songs in their teenage.

Today also I feel if i can ask her ki itna na muzse pyar jataa, kyuki tasweer teri dil me leke maine saat rang ke sapne chune aur usme maine paya ki kitna sukh hai bandhan me.

All this thanks to Salil da for making our life colourful and romantic. Romance without his song would have been adhura for our gen.

Thanks once again for reigniting the memories.

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.
