TRIBUTE TO SHANKAR JAIKISHAN–32–

HASRAT JAIPURI

COINCIDENCES GALORE…॥HERE SHANKAR’S WRRDS ARE THEIR IN SHAILENDRA’S NAME AND JAIKISHAN RESIDES IN HASRAT JAIPURI’S ”JAI”……THE FOUR MADE TWO TEAMS WITH THIS COINDENCE IN SPELLING THE WORDS…।ALL FOUR’S ARE THERE IN EACH OTHER’S NAME…॥HASRAT’S POINTING OUT FEELS GREAT THAT BOTH S-J NEVER TIRED OF THROWING ”PRAISE” ON LATA MANGESHKAR…।AND WHAT TUNES THEY MADE WENT TO LATA’S VOICE, MADE THE CINEGOERS’ INTEREST AS A GOLDEN RULE TO LISTEN LATA IN S-J TUNES…॥THE DUO TOO HAD IN MIND, THEY ARE CREATING WUD GO TO LATA’ S SINGLE VOICE। TO BE STILL MEMORABLE TU HUM BY THE YOUNG AND OLD ALIKE। S-J’S LOVE FOR LATA’S VOICE WAS SO CONSISTENT THAT WHEN THE DUO MADE THE TUNE OF ”BOOT POLISH”, ”MAIN BAJARON KI NATKHAT RANI”, LATA FELT THE WORD ”BAZAR” CHEAP AND INSISTED THEY IMMEDIATELY AGREED AND HASRAT MADE IT ”BAHARON’…AND THE SONG BECAME AS ”MAIN BAHARON KI NATKHAT RANI”AND SHE SANF THE SONG WITH HEART…AND THE SONG WAS A SUPERHIT. LATA TREATED HASRAT, AS ELDER BROTHER…AND HASRAT THOUGHT WHY LATA ON SO HIGH, CUD NOT CHANGS.

THOUGH LATA SANG SOLO,DUETS ETC WITH MANY MUSIC DIRECTORS, BUT SHE HAD A SOFT CORNER FOR JAIKISHAN AND IT IS EVIDENT WHEN FOR ”AARJU”, SHE WAS DOING REHEARSAL FOR THE HIGH PITCH NOTATION OF ”AJI ROOTH KAR AB KAHAN JAAIYEGA”…..AND AFTER INTERLUDE SINGING, WHEN SHE CAME TO ”AJI LAAKH PARDON MEIN CHHUP JAIAGA, NAZAR AAIYGA NAZAR AAIYEGA”’….SOMEBODY POINTED OUT THAT WHEN GOING TO ”TAR SAPTAK”, HER EARS BECAME ”RED” WITH VOICE’S PRESSURE, THEN LATA REACTED TO JAIKISHAN….”KYUN MERE KAAN LAL KAR RAHE HO”…..AND SHE SANG WITH ALL FRAGRANCE IN HER VOICE ECHOING IN THE ATMOSPHERE.

SOMETIMES THEY(INCLUDING SHANKAR) DIFFERED ON THE WORDINGS, THERE WILL BE SHORT HEAT AMONGST THEM, WHICH WAS COOLED DOWN BY ANY ONE OF THEM, SO THE SONG CUD REACH THE LISTENERS WITH FULL POPULARITY….HOWEVER SHANKAR AND LATA HAD TWO POLES APART….AND BOTH WILL BE INSISTENT ON THEIR OWN THINKING, NOT TO BOWED DOWN….SO MANY SONGS LATA WERE RECORDED BY JAIKISHAN
HASRAT ON LATA ”JAB JAB BHI TU GEET SUNAYE, JHOOME PATTHAR TAJMAHAL KE; SUN SUN KE AAWAZ SIRILI, KALI HO GAYI KOYAL JALKE””….
