Luckily the specifics have faded with time, I just remember a lot of high-decibel drama and tears, and precocious kids whom I'd have definitely fought with, as a child, had they really existed! Among the songs, Tumhari nazar kyon khafa ho gayi, I've liked and the rest were mainly interesting for the lyrics :) - they have interesting range, without being anywhere near Sahir's best work. Nor Ravi's, come to think of it.<br /><br />I saw your post on ghazals, one of my favourite forms of poetry! It was so nice to have the rules explained, there is a tendency to call any 'serious' and slow composition a ghazal! The ones on your post are among my favourites! Jurm-e-ulfat is such a masterpiece, for instance. Roshan and Sahir, another "duo" who were splendid together.<br /><br />And you have Sharyar and Kaifi Azmi featured there! Another favourite is Shahryar's "Aap ki yaad aati rahi" from Gaman.<br /><br />Here's one of my own, in English though. The takhallus was both great fun and a challenge, as I didn't want to put my name directly. <br /><br />http://www.caravanmagazine.in/Story/420/Sole%C3%A1--from-Lyon-to-Angers.html<br /><br />PS: sorry it took me so long to reply, but I've just returned from work.

You've said it all, Karthika - and so perfectly. I enjoyed reading this post. And the songs you've selected are among my favourites (though, to be honest, I must admit I don't care for the songs of <i>Do Kaliyaan</i> - perhaps it's because I found the movie to be a bit of a pain, but even otherwise, the songs just don't float my boat).Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
