In the film Bawarchi,
Rajesh Khanna has a dialogue which goes somewhat like this –
‘Khushi ke geet phuljhadi
ki tarah hote hai…jalkar bujh jaate hai. Lekin dukhbhare geet toh agarbatti ki
tarah hote hai…jal jaane ke baad bhi unki khushboo zindagi mein mehekti rehti
hai’.
How true!
Song for this week is an aromatic agarbatti – Chingaari Koi
Bhadke from Amar Prem. If I were
to describe it one word, I would call it a masterpiece. Such profound lyrics by
Anand Bakshi. I go all gaga over the words every single time I listen to it. Pancham’s
composition gives you time to let the words sink in. And the way it has been
shot only adds to the beauty.
When the song was being composed, the guitar was being
played and an incorrect chord was plucked. This produced a completely different
sound. Pancham used this chord to create the opening strums! Come to think of
it, the song would have not been the same if it were not for the strumming.
* Manaa toofaan ke aage, nahiin chalataa jor kisika
Maujon kaa dosh nahiin hai, ye dosh hain aur kisi kaa
Majdhaar mein naiyyaa dole, toh maanjhi paar lagaaye
Maanjhi jo naav duboye, usee kaun bachaaye*
