When you listen to songs "Kahin door jab din dal jaaye" or "Dil tadap tadap ke keh raha hai aa bhi ja" or "Itna na mujhse tu pyaar bada", you think of the speciality of the music. The different from the normal is evident. The picture arises.

You will be always cherished in our memory.
Naushad is a famous music didirector. Though I have listened to his songs, I have started to listen to his music recently.
Naushad saab seems a simple man. His music is great. He was prolific too.
Guys and gals, you have a great role in promoting Indian music. Just by listening. Just by sharing. Just by passing your comments. Our music is world class. Our range is tremendous. Our style mesmerizing. Share in media. Comment in media. Promote in media.
Let's together make the flag of bollywood music flying high.
Songs are but 7 notes. So at the most they are great combinations. But my point is, is there a thing called genius in songs? Yes, it is possible.
I list these songs as genius from Indian cinema.
Ye dil aur unki nigahon ke saaye. Jaidev. Genius composition
Ik hasina thi; ik diwaana tha. Laxmikant Pyarelal. Genius emotion
Madhura mazhikhondhu vaasam Ilaiyaraaja Genius balance
Aaj ki raat hona hai kya. Shankar Ehsaan Loy Genius chord change
Jab chaaha yaara tumne RDBurman Genius Carefreeness
Tu jo mere sur mein Ravindra Jain Genius Music use
Pal pal dil ke paas Kalyanji Anandji Genius Feelings
As my knowledge is limited and am not too focused, I am not able to make an exhaustive list. I want to include all the known music directors.
When I was in school in Delhi we would listen to Hindi Jesudas songs a lot. It became a habit. And the songs were deeply internalized.
We would also listen to Talat Mehmood and Manna Dey.
Then I went to Coimbatore for electrical engineering course in BE. I bought a Walkman and listened to popular Tamil songs.
Time waits for no one. But the effects of music are deep and memories remain. I listen to these four songs again and again.
En jeevan paduthu. K J Jesudas. Ilaiyaraja.
Un nenjai thottu solu. Chitra. Ilaiyaraja.
Jab tak poore na ho phere saath. Nadiya ke paar. Ravindra Jain.
Koun disha mein. Nadiya ke paar. Ravindra Jain.
I get the feeling of rural India. Of Southern India. Of Northern India.
I want my South Indian blog readers to listen to the above two Ravindra Jain songs. And the North Indian blog readers to listen to Ilaiyaraja songs. And appreciate the greatness of rural India.
Bose App is a great way to operate Bose 500.
At last I got for myself what I was looking out for. Bose.
Bose 500.
I now have Philips BT122. And Bose 500. The Boat system I had was given away to my friend.
When you close your eyes and listen to Bhimsen Joshi, you float in the beauty of music totally engrossed in it. That is how beautiful you feel.
The genius behind the music of Ravindra Jain makes you spell-bound. Difficult pieces of music are applied and executed practically. And the songs come out one better than the other. Difficult to not listen to the music of Ravindra Jain.
The amount of planning, the type of experimentation and the perfection in execution of music by Laxmikant-Pyarelal is un-comparable.
(I am not being critical of anyone. I am not denigrating any musician from any region. The thoughts are my own and I believe my source of my commenting paradigm is accuracy rather then appreciation of music. Currently I want to focus on above paragraphs only.)
