Chori-chori :Yeh rat bhigi bhigi song : YOUTHS’ KAMPAN
Chori Chori hindi film made me seek to see who is singing it & who is there on Tabala-Peti instruments. So I came out to see who was singing a song which in my youth used to be my medicine for my difficulties right from my sickness-illness. And here the bhigi-bhigi was so loud that bhigi-bhigi, I heard BHAGI-BHAGI.
Ye raat bhigi-bhigi … mausam ka ye ishara. Made me delighted often when I heard it … usually … ones in a year, I must say. At that time, songs from the films used to heat the ordnance before the picture was released. Pictures songs used to be enlightening to one who is walking on his foot and is tired. Yes, a song when heard … you must feel energetic. The words and its music were having all kinds of medicine to you like DAVA-DARU.
Today, my son was watching this melody song, which made me attracted to walk two steps forward, but it made me stop when I came to know that I was hearing a remixed version of it by some other BAND. It is not the original one, and it dragged me from my forward steps and abided me from going back two to four steps of mine.
Yes, I stepped back DO-KADAM and confirmed that I am really at a distance. CHAR KADAM DUR RAHANA BEHATTAR HAI, I realised. The YouTube was made by somebody and was loud … the drums bits and played with the new electronic instruments … made me irritated.
Therein song, there are feelings in every word of it, and this song was sung by Lata Mangeshkar & Manna Dey in 1956 when every youth of this country heard of HINDU MUSLIM DANGA. Partition made us more profound in its LAJ-LAJJA… LIHAJ that everyone followed, be you a hindu or muslim, sikh, isai or one may be a britisher. In a thin strength, they were then , when Gandhiji outraged “CHELE JAO.” Really, was it an easy task … and the answer is no, it was not : but it did happen. Thousands of young boys and girls were either busy in human war with Britishers or had their army to be of more EKTA in making free INDIA from the clutches of Britishers, slogan was Hindu-Muslim, Sikh-Isai ham hai ” hum sab bhai-bhai, and the time was of separations of Pakistan from India. So there were ill feelings in their hearts, and there was this young generation making a copy of RAT BHIGI BHIGI that is also in-house with no feel to its melody. No MOON-LIGHT in their studio either.
Definitely, the feel is not there in the song. It will not be there in remix songs. … Those were the days & months of waiting time for the younger one to get married with a boy or a nearest girl, who happened to be one from amongst own Biradiri. She is proposed to be one from the time of her birth by elders or was a choice of every one from both of families but you have to wait till the MAHOL Ho Jaye Sant and there was KAMPAN of it, in each heart. The kampan of young NARGIS in the heart of young Lata Mangeshkar. The kampan of Raj Kapoor in the heart of MANNA DEY, the singers.
Nargis married after this song sung for her in film by Lata. Lata died, bachelor she was ever with MANY MORE KAMP~ANS. Manna Dey, a Bengali man married Sulochana Kumaran of South Indian girl and struggling Raj Kapoor acted for this song in picture after his marriage in 1946, but it was the time of GARIBI & LACHARI. How do you find the shaking vibrations of those artists in today’s REMIXED SONG? It is my question.
