Someone has rightly said “Money can’t buy happiness”. One may not believe this but watching 2 videos made my day and gave me a ton of happiness. I stumbled upon one video of Musarat Nazir on youtube and then i saw mera long gwacha’s video, done by her on PTV in 1985-86. My lifetime favourite song which i have grown up listening to. The voice, tone ,music reminds of those beautiful old days. It used to play mostly on radio channels like Jalandhar, All India Radio and Lahore. When i got computer at home, i recorded this song by placing microphone near radio speaker and today i got to watch that video. Plain awesome…real singing with soul and emotions. ...

Attaullah Khan has been one of my favourite singers since i started listening to music. Today i watched a ghazal sab maya hai on youtube. Its written by Insha and rendered beautifully bu Attaullah Khan. A must watch if you are a good music admirer: Then i watched another video of the same ghazal which seems to be a newly recorded one. I was so sad to see that Attaullah Khan is getting older. The difference in his voice is clearly visible. ...

I hit upon an interesting article in this week’s Ajit Magazine [On left side click on Ajit Magazine then scroll down on the page to read the article ishqe di gali vichon…]. An interesting topic is touched by the writer. The song chaiyan chaiyan from Dil Se was being promoted as a sufi song and Gulzar saab wanted to know is it really so ? As Gulzar says that ‘sufi’ was a ideology of fakir kind of people so there can be sufi shayari but not sufi music. Yes, the way that sufi shayari is recited can be called as sufi music according to the understanding of a common man. So its not at all fair to see a normal bollywood song as a sufi composition. ...

On Gurdas Maan forum, I got a link to a video on youtube. When I checked, it was a song by Sai Zahoor Ahmed, a sufi singer (or performer ?) from Pakistan. This man left home at the young age of 13 and started roaming the sufi shrines in Pakistan. He sings on ik-tara. He can’t read or write but has very good memory of lyrics. He was chosen best BBC voice of the year 2006. I just went mad about “sajna baajho zaat safatan ishq dian” video. Its just awesome. He is 60 years old and see him performing, totally lost in his work. It looks like he is directly talking to Allah. Hats off to these messengers of sufi gaayaki. ...
