An Indian Morning, celebrating and seeking the spirit of India thru sounds, stories, music & songs. REMEMBERING LATE PANDIT SHIVKUMAR SHARMA & HAPPY 55th BIRTHDAY, MADHURI DIXIT!

Namaste! A Poet and a Potter was searching for the perfect material from which would arise sonorous words and beautiful shapes which were not only useful but inspiring. And they found that in a handful of Earth. Welcome to An Indian Morning.

Panditji’s journey began when his father asked him to pursue the development of the Kashmiri santoor. His persistence, repeated experiments and reconfigurations with the instrument gave it new life and eventually paved the way for a new genre of music, earning him tremendous success in the process. Considered to be a living legend and an embodiment of Indian ethos and values, Pandit Shivkumar Sharma has been the recipient of several awards from all over the world, which includes the Padma Vibhushan, the Padma Shree, Tansen Samman, Master Deenanath Mangeshkar Award, International Cultural Ambassador Award, Honorary Degree of Doctor of Letters of The Indira Gandhi National Open University, and Sangeet Natak Akademi Fellow, amongst many others. Panditji published his autobiography, Journey with a Hundred Strings: My Life in Music (with Ina Puri), in 2002. Remembering Pandit Shivkumar Sharma… 01-REMEMBERING PANDIT SHIVKUMAR SHARMA CD MISC-20220515 TRACK#01 7:55 TRIBUTE TO SANTOOR VIRTUOSO PANDIT SHIV KUMAR SHARMA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HQn8D-15H5Y आज 15 मई रविवार का दिन है, आप की ज़िन्दगी का एक और नया दिन। आप सभी को किशोर सम्पट का प्यार भरा नमस्कार 02-SHIV HAI SHIV HAI CD MISC-20220515 TRACK#02 3:53 ABODH-1984; HEMLATA; RAVINDRA JAIN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eYgm2BYWBLc May 15 marks 55 years since Madhuri Dixit descended on Earth, which is very hard to believe for her legions of admirers who have followed her fleet movements and luminous smile. Dixit made her debut with Abodh (1984) and hit gold after a series of flops with Tezaab (1988). Ek Do Teen from Tezaab is counted as one of the most popular songs in Hindi cinema, and it proved to be a sign of things to come for Dixit. 03-Ek Do Teen Char Panch Chhe Saat CD MISC-20220515 Track#03 7:01 TEZAAB-1988; Alka Yagnik; Laxmikant-Pyarelal; Javed Akhtar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MS5BLS2sIDM Dixit’s box office magnet status was sealed with Beta (1992). Her steamy, breast-thrusting number Dhak Dhak Karne Laga is one of her greatest hits. She was paired with Anil Kapoor in numerous films, including Khel (1992). Ek Baat Maan Lo Tum from Khel (1992), better known as the Idlo Doo song, is Madhuri Dixit’s version of Sridevi’s Hawa Hawaai from Mr India (1987). The following year, the suggestive Choli Ke Peeche became one of the biggest talking points of Khalnayak (1993) opposite her frequent co-star, Sanjay Dutt. 04-Choli Ke Peeche Kya Hai CD MISC-20220515 Track#04 5:00 KHALNAYAK-1993; Alka Yagnik, Illa Arun; Laxmikant-Pyarelal; Anand Bakshi https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e2mkZcox9As Despite her undisputed ability to hold the camera’s attention, Dixit was a generous dancer, allowing her co-stars enough room to shine. In Koi Ladki Hai from the musical Dil To Pagal Hai, she danced in a contemporary style to Shiamak Davar’s choreography with Shah Rukh Khan. Who’s a better dancer than Michael Jackson imitator Prabhudeva? Madhuri Dixit, the original. 05-Kay Sara Sara Jo Bhi Ho To Ho CD MISC-20220515 Track#05 6:18 PUKAR-2000; Kavita Krishnamurthy, Shankar Mahadevan; A. R. Rahman; Javed Akhtar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IvmcGSDzZU8 In Sanjay Leela Bhansali’s Devdas (2002), Madhuri plays Chandramukhi, the courtesan who falls for the titular alcoholic. Maar Dala and Dola Re Dola Re are showcases of Dixit’s classical training and testaments to Saroj Khan’s imagination. Madhuri Dixit made the first of many comebacks for Devdas. She had married American surgeon Shriram Nene in 1999 and had moved to Denver. 06-Maar Daala CD MISC-20220515 Track#06 4:35 DEVDAS-2002; Kavita Krishnamurthy; Ismail Darbar; Nusrat Badr https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UY5pjZkKo5c She returned for Anil Mehta’s dance themed Aaja Nachle in 2007. The film flopped, but Madhuri’s dancing abilities were a hit. Saroj Khan returned too to choreograph Dixit in Gulaab Gang, calling her a “choreographer’s delight”. Dixit’s poise and grace in Hamari Atariya from Dedh Ishqiya earned her praise from the song’s choreographer Birju Maharaj. It was a “memorable experience”, said the kathak maestro since Dixit is a “fantastic dancer”. Madhuri Dixit is still the embodiment of beauty, talent, class and grace, more so than all current actresses put together. Happy 55th birthday Madhuri Dixit! 07-Hamari Atariya Pe, Tanik Ho Jaaye CD MISC-20220515 Track#07 3:55 DEDH ISHQIYA-2014; Rekha Bhardwaj; Vishal Bhardwaj; Gulzar https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-BOWrHtthyc 97-ANTMEIN-SIGNOFF – 1:47 BACKGROUND MUSIC: INSTRUMENTAL-DHAK DHAK KARNE LAGA; UDAY M NAKAR https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X6d8DaShR3Y ----------------------------------------------------------अंत मे छोटी सी बात ‘An Indian Morning’ की तरफसे: ---------------------------------------------------------- “A loving person lives in a loving world.
