An Indian Morning
Sunday October 9th, 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. TRIBUTE TO JAGJIT SINGH-11th DEATH ANNIVERSARY and HAPPY POORNIMA (FULL MOON).

Namaste! The icon of Ganesha, the folded hands performing an Anjali, pushpa varsha or shower of flowers, the sound of Shehnai, the bright colors of Kumkum, the first rays of the Sun. These are some of our Mangal Akrutis. And in celebrating them we ensure that everything around us is mangaled by. That our mind is radiant, the spirit is joyous and that we embrace life with zest and ananda. Let us together make this morning An Indian Morning.

After all, is it true passion if you survive the experience? Is there any better word than “qayamat”, meaning the end of days, to express heartbreak? Exhibit A: Mere Mehboob Qayamat Hogi (Mr X in Bombay, 1964), written by Anand Bakshi. 04-MERE MEHBOOB QAYAMAT HOGI CD MISC-20221009 TRACK#04 4:32 MR X IN BOMBAY-1964; KISHORE KUMAR; LAXMIKANT-PYARELAL; ANAND BAKSHI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yIzCBU0_LyY If “qayamat” is a mouthful, perhaps “fanaa” says it better? The Urdu word for the obliteration of the self suits the sentiment expressed in Sau Baar Janam Lenge, Sau Baar Fanaa Honge (Ustaadon Ke Ustaad, 1963). Lyricist Asad Bhopali writes, “I will be born a hundred times, I will be extinguished a hundred times”. In 2006, the emotional state inspired a movie about deadly love – the Aamir Khan-Kajol starrer Fanaa and its soundtrack’s best tune. 05-MERE HAATH MEIN TERA HAATH HO CD MISC-20221009 TRACK#05 4:43 FANAA-2006; SONU NIGAM, SUNIDHI CHAUHAN, AAMIR KHAN, KAJOL; JATIN-LALIT; PRASOON JOSHI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qtz5mpvgAM0 Romance in Bollywood has its own uniqueness that has seen a profound place in our lives. Our love life is very much influenced by Bollywood romance. From great romantic scenes to songs, there is a lot that the movies have to give to every lover out there. One thing that has always made it to romance in movies is Moon. There is nothing more romantic and poetic than a full moon on a starry night. Our lyricists have always been attracted to Chand, Chandrama, Chanda, Chandaniya etc as something that best describes thy love, shows hope or something that states the beauty of their other half. Talk about songs describing and finding love in things, and B-wood always excels in it. Moon has, by default found its place and eventually made it to our playlist. Webring a couple of Bollywood songs about the moon that we all love. Take a listen at these Bollywood songs about the moon: 06-CHAND SIFARISH CD MISC-20221009 TRACK#06 4:36 FANAA-2006; SHAAN, KAILASH KHER; JATIN-LALIT; PRASOON JOSHI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zWEOx7TSM6I 07-CHAND CHHUPA BADAL MEIN CD MISC-20221009 TRACK#07 5:55 HUM DIL DE CHUKE SANAM-1999; UDIT NARAYAN, ALKA YAGNIK; ISMAIL DARBAR; MEHBOOB https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9a6UaCBEV6o 97-ANTMEIN-SIGNOFF – 1:58 BACKGROUND: INSTRUMENTAL-PIANO-CHAND CHHUPA BADAL MEIN; BEN FERNANDEZ-PIANO, RUSSELL MCNAUGHTON-BASS & RON SAMSOM-DRUM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2b7OaZSAIes ----------------------------------------------------------अंत मे छोटी सी बात ‘An Indian Morning’ की तरफसे: ---------------------------------------------------------- “Have patience with all things, but chiefly have patience with yourself. Do not lose courage in considering your own imperfections but instantly set about remedying them - every day begins the task anew.” -Saint Francis de Sales “हर बात में धीरज रखें, विशेषकर अपने आप से। अपनी कमियों को लेकर धैर्य न खोएं अपितु तुरन्त उनका समाधान करना शुरू करें – हर दिन कर्म की नई शुरुआत है।” -सेन्ट फ्रांसिस दे सेल्स ---------------------------------------------------------- हमारा आपके साथ आज यहीं तक का सफर था. तो चलिए आपसे अब हम विदा लेते है. अगली मुलाकात तक खुश रहिये, स्वस्थ रहिये और हाँ An Indian Morning पर हमसे मिलते रहिये. हंसते रहिये, क्योंकि हंसना निशुल्क है और एक सुलभ दवा है। Well, that's all the time we have with you today!
