Thumak Thumak and some more...

I heard this song when I was very young and ever since I have loved this song.

And then, very recently, I checked the music director for the song. I found it to be Jaidev and went on to check his other compositions. There are not many famous songs he has composed , but the ones he has composed touch your soul .. ! Have put few of my favorite ones from his many compositions..

This by Jaidev for the movie Ankahee and sung by Bhimsen Joshi is really beautiful. I put up this song as a dedication to the great maestro..

There a lot of good songs in Gharonda which are again composed by him, but I simply love this one for the mischievious tone and fun element in it - Tumhe ho na ho..

Veena,
Vidya and I always had this disagreement about the importance of the poet vs. the music director. Some of these songs are very beautiful also because of the words, not only the music. There are some songs in which it is easy to say what makes the song special - its music or its poetry. In others, both are equally important.

Shruti.. I understand the argument.. though in this collection, I think except for the last song , I like the songs for their music..
