An Indian Morning
Sunday January 2nd, 2022 with Dr. Harsha V. Dehejia and Kishore "Kish" Sampat
An Indian Morning, celebrating and seeking the spirit of India thru sounds, stories, music & songs. PASSING THE LIGHT OF PEACE, LOVE & PROSPERITY FOR HAPPY NEW YEAR 2022!

Namaste! If the commerce of life brings noise and the business of the world creates chaos, if work leads to fatigue, and movement is void of beauty, then let us sit under a tree and pray. For in prayer, there is the recharging of the spirit, rekindling of the flame of life, a journey from the earth to the sky where we touch the divine within us and enjoy the silence and serenity. Welcome to An Indian Morning.

As we continue grappling with an irrepressible pandemic, music is both a refuge and source of comfort. Although things are far from glorious on that front, one noticed a conscious effort among musicians to sound unique and exciting. Best is subjective, but these are An Indian Morning Team’s favourite Hindi film songs from 2021. Aanand L Rai and Imtiaz Ali's polarising universe takes a life of its own under A R Rahman's soulful tunes. It's a separate space altogether that is untouched by criticism and transports the listener far, far away in a story of his own making that film-makers can only try and catch up to. Though it arrived only at the end of this year, Atrangi Re's soundtrack swept me off my feet and feels like it has been on the playlist all along. Every single song is magnificent in its own way, but Rait Zara Si's ethereal humming, sublime metaphors and dollops of Rahman dust produce a field of goosebumps. 03-RAIT ZARA SI ATRANGI RE CD MISC-20220102 TRACK#03 5:12 ATRANGI RE-2021; ARIJIT SINGH, SHAASHA TIRUPATI; A. R. RAHMAN; IRSHAD KAMIL https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=U-oThzLxFck Brimming with irresistible warmth and melody, the infectious lovey-dovey fervour and playful rhythm of Tanishk Bagchi's charming Punjabi flavoured creation is, hands down, the Hindi song that I listened to most all year. 04-RAATAAN LAMBIYAAN CD MISC-20220102 TRACK#04 5:12 SHERSHAAH-2021; JUBIN NAUTIYAL, ASESS KAUR; TANISHK BAGCHI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLGuLXKT9Ng Raj Shekhar's quirky lines and Justin Prabhakaran's effervescent tune and a hoard of animated singers shift mood and tempo in such a delightful way on screen and speaker, there's no way you can escape its swaying effect. 05-TITTAR BITTAR CD MISC-20220102 TRACK#05 4:03 MEENAKSHI SUNDARESHWAR-2021; ROMY, GOLDIE SOHEL, PRINCE BHATRA, MOHANA BHOGARAJU, HEMAMBIKA, SWATI SHARMA, CHITRALEKHA SEN, YAJAT GARG; JUSTIN PRABHAKARAN; RAJ SHEKHAR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2JVhuUlnPGs Hussain Haidry's ingenious reworking of the age-old bandar baant theory finds a perfect fit in Bandish Project's folksy energy, one that pleasantly disrupts Sherni's meditative momentum, to mock at the absurd degree of political opportunism. 06-BANDAR BAANT CD MISC-20220102 TRACK#06 3:16 SHERNI-2021; AISHWARYA JOSHI, ROSHAN KHAN; BANDISH PROJECT; HUSSAIN HAIDRY https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K1ybqVxat1s Rahman's Enya-esque impulses are soothingly realised in the unabashed emotions of Rihayee De. A terrific track anyway, elevated to another level because Rahman is singing it. 07-RIHAYI DE CD MISC-20220102 TRACK#07 6:06 MIMI-2021; A. R. RAHMAN; A. R.
