An Indian Morning celebrates not only the music of India but equally its various arts and artisans, poets and potters, kings and patriots. The first 30 minutes of the program features classical, religious as well as regional and popular music. The second one hour features community announcements and ear pleasing music from old/new & popular Indian films. The ethos of the program is summarized by its signature closing line, "Seeking the spirit of India, Jai Hind". 00-A-DR DEHEJIA’S MISC-20200802 32:27 00-B-ANNOUNCEENTS MISC-20200802 11:57 01-MAN TARPAT HARI DARSHAN KO AAJ CD MISC-20160731 TRACK#01 6:26 BAIJU BAWARA-1952; MOHAMMAD RAFI; NAUSHAD; SHAKEEL BADAYUNI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tz7C0MEaMfQ एक बार फिर हार्दिक अभिनंदन आप सबका, शुक्रिया, घन्यवाद और Thank You इस प्रोग्राम को सुनने के लिए । चालीस बरस पहले 31 जुलाई के दिन सुरसंसार का ये सुरीला पंछी, दुनिया को बेगाना मानकर उड़ गया, और तब से आज तक वो डाली कांप रही है । दरअसल मोहम्‍मद रफ़ी संगीत की दुनिया में शोर की साजिश के खि़लाफ़ एक सुरीला हस्‍तक्षेप थे। दुनिया के नक्‍शे में खोजने चलें, तो पाकिस्‍तान के दायरे में लाहौर के नज़दीक कोटला सुल्‍तान सिंह को खोज पाना, काफी मशक्‍कत का काम होगा । यहां चौबीस दिसंबर 1924 को रफ़ी साहब का जन्‍म हुआ था । बाद में रफ़ी का परिवार लाहौर चला आया । यहां उन्होंने उस्ताद बड़े गु़लाम अली ख़ां साहब और उस्ताद अब्‍दुल वहीद ख़ां साहब से संगीत की तालीम ली थी । An Indian Morning pays a TRIBUTE on the DEATH ANNIVERSARY (31ST JULY 1980) OF THE IMMORTAL THE GREATEST THE ILLUSTRIOUS SINGER OF ALL TIMES THE UNFORGETTABLE MUHAMMAD RAFI. 02-WOH JAB YAAD AAYE – A TRIBUTE TO RAFI- CD MISC-20200802 TRACK#02 12:40 WHO JAB YAAD AAYE-2017 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-SbQLdhfeFw १ अगस्त १९३२ को मुंबई के दादर स्थित रूपतारा स्टूडियो के सामने वाली चाल में अलीबक्श और प्रभावती (इकबाल) की तीसरी संतान के रूप में महजबीन (मीना कुमारी) का जन्म हुआ था। बताते हैं कि जब महजबीन (मीनाकुमारी) का जन्म हुआ, तो उनके पिता की आर्थिक हालत इतनी खराब थी कि वे डॉक्टर का बिल तक चुकाने की स्थिति में नहीं थे। अतः बच्ची को अनाथालय में छोड़ दिया गया। कुछ घंटे बाद उसे वहाँ से घर लाया गया। कुछ लोगों का कहना है कि अली बक्श लगातार तीसरी संतान लड़की होने की वजह से उसे अनाथालय में डाल आए थे। बाद में अफसोस होने पर वे उसे घर ले आए। 03-A TRIBUTE TO MEENA KUMARI CD MISC-20200802 TRACK#03 5:18 TRIBUTE TO MEENA KUMARI-2014; SUHANEE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XXE3bZA0fXE& That time when Meena Kumari competed with Meena Kumari and Meena Kumari for a Filmfare award. She was the only nominee in the Best Actress category in 1963. In 1963, Meena Kumari made it very easy for the jury selecting the best actress at the Filmfare Awards. She was the only actress nominated in the category, for her performances in Abrar Alvi’s Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, Phani Majumdar’s Aarti and A Bhimsingh’s Main Chup Rahungi. The choice was between three fine performances, each one defined by Meena Kumari’s ability to depict deeply felt emotions and convey the pathos as well as the strength of her characters. In those days, there were three nominees in each category. In other words, she was already the winner. Meena Kumari was nominated for Aarti, in which her eponymous character is torn between her former lover and her husband. Aarti proves that few actresses embody conflict and the ensuing suffering as well as Meena Kumari. 04-KABHI TO MILEGI KAHIN TO MILEGI CD MISC-20200802 TRACK#04 3:04 AARTI-1962; LATA MANGESHKAR; ROSHAN; MAJROOH SULTANPURI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UMZWtjM7Xa8 The second nomination was for Main Chup Rahungi, a remake of the Tamil weepie Kalathur Kannamma (1960), in which Kamal Haasan made his debut as a child actor. The original film starred Southern screen icon Savitri, and in a rare case of a performance in a remake matching the original, Meena Kumari wrung out tears as a woman who bears a child out of wedlock and ends up being his teacher years later. Meena Kumari managed to give her characters much dignity even in their suffering and this performance too is no exception. She matched Savithri’s superlative act with her own and gave Main Chup Rahungi most of its strength. 05-KOI BATA DE DIL HAI KAHAN CD MISC-20200802 TRACK#05 4:04 MAIN CHUP RAHUNGI-1962; LATA MANGESHKAR, MOHAMMAD RAFI; CHITRAGUPT; RAJENDRA KRISHAN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u5bQNAYTv_4 The winner was Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam, Abrar Alvi’s masterpiece about the long-suffering wife of a decadent aristocrat in pre-independent Bengal. Produced by Guru Dutt and also starring the filmmaker, Rehman and Waheeda Rehman, Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam counts as one of Meena Kumari’s most unforgettable movies alongside Kamal Amrohi’s Pakeezah (1972). Her character, known as Chhoti Bahu, embraces alcohol in a desperate attempt to get the attention of her wayward husband. Among the film’s highlights is the song Na Jao Saiyan, an ode to self-laceration rendered in dripping tones of sadness by Geeta Dutt. 06-NA JAON SAIYAAN CHHUDA KE BAIYAAN CD MISC-20200802 TRACK#06 3:47 SAHIB BIBI AUR GHULAM-1962; GEETA DUTT; HEMANT KUMAR; SHAKEEL BADAYUNI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TCDbIT13MRY 97-ANTMEIN-SIGNOFF – 1:56 98-SPONSORS – RINAG – VAISHALI’S – 2:28 THE END समाप्त
