PAAN KHAYE•
(A different story)
DEAR friends, one of my friends written that ”paan khaye sainyaan hamaro” was written for Bandini….may be so…..but in Asha Tai’s words, some music song sitting was going on with Barmanda in which Ashaji and Shailendra and others were present….Shailendra was sitting near Barmanda….and Barmanda was a constant ”paan” chewer….and he used to wear pearl white kurta and dhoti….he took out one paan from his ”paan-box” and put in the mouth….it became difficult for him to talk further so he spit the juice in a nearby dust-bin….and in that effort, he got some drops fallen on his kurta….Shailendra cud not resist his laughter…and all were smiling…..Dada asked Shailendra…can he write something…..and Shailendra immediately came out with ”PAAN KHAYE SAINYAN HAMARO—-MALMAL KE KURTE PE CHHEENTE LAL LAL……this was the beginning of song but Dada cud not use it….and kept it in for future film….But Dada passed away….and the song was kept pending….and as Ashaji relate—shankar jaikishan used it in ”TEESRI KASAM”…..BUT IN MY HUMBLE opinion, the song was Shailendra’s creation…and it was fitting on ”nautankiwali bai”…so S-J tuned it like a bihar folk song and of other states….like ”HAMNE MANGAI SURMEDANI, LE AAYA ZALIM BANARAS KA ZARDA”……WHICH SHAILENDRA ALREADY WROTE SUCH REVERSAL IN A WESTERN TUNE IN SANGAM—”SAB TO LAAYE PHOOL, BUDDHA GOBHI LEKE AA GAYA….MAIN KA KAROON RAM MUJHE BUDDHA MIL GAYA..”…..SO THE BEGINNING OF A PAAN SONG BECAME A BIG ”MUKHADA”…..”PAAN KHAYE SAINYAN HAMARO, SANWARI SURATIYA HONTH LAL LAL, HAY HAY MALMAL KA KURTA, MALMAL KE KURTE PE CHEENTE LAL LAL”…….gshroti
