It is the misfortune of this country that a part of its population is surrendered to long nights of deprivation, pain, torture, and illness when every evening of movies is immersed in colors, fragrances, beautiful faces, excellent wine, and music. The night may set but the evening here does not set. On one such evening - or rather, an evening immersed in music and beauty, Govinda celebrated his birthday in a decent hotel named 'Leela Pentas' located at Sahara Airport, and in the morning, the screening of his new film 'Nach Govinda Naach' took place in Girikunj. The music of this film has been composed by producer Jairam Gulbani under the direction of Subhash Soni. By Amar Utpal. Mandakini has a romantic pairing with Govinda.

There was also a ceremony to distribute the platinum disc of the film 'Ghar Mein Ram Gali Mein Shyam' composed with the music of Amar Utpal. So in Leela Penta, the ritual of completing three functions through one party was performed and today evening it was here that we met Pankaj Udhas, a well-known name in the world of ghazals. He was in a black shirt and pants and had a drink in his hand. It is about ten years old. When I went to meet his brother Manhar Udhas. It is about ten years old. When I went to meet his brother Manhar Udhas. And there was a conversation with Pankaj in a hotel outside the house (Nepean Sea Road). He was the one who told me about his brother and I wrote about Manhar. In those days, in the land of music, Pankaj used to entertain the people who were drunk under the lights of hotels. Even today, everyone in the gathering knows that I am not an alcoholic, yet what should I do if someone makes me drink...

And La Pila de Saquia plays things like scale scale...bad and people spend their evenings immersed in ghazals with wine. Only occasionally do we get to hear something good - It feels good to cry against the walls, it feels like we too will go mad.

kaiser-ul-Jafri is a very good friend of mine. He loves me very much, this composition is his. And Pankaj sang it very beautifully. It is meaningless to raise any question mark about Pankaj's singing. There is a sea of pain in his throat whose water is salty yet sweet. It is in this background that Pankaj Udhas talks to Bailas.

   Some gentleman from Venus told me that the era of ghazals is in its last phase and film music, and disco music are preparing to come back to their form again. I don't know whether Pankaj Udhas is aware of this danger. I gave him this information and asked what was the future of ghazals. They answer – ‘If the present is better then the future will also be golden.’

But here every one is wearing a shawl and singing ghazals on harmonium. Is this necessary for ghazal singers? Pankaj clarifies his point in confusion – Dress alone is not a condition for singing. For this, complete preparation is necessary which I feel is not there in the new generation of singers. And this knowledge is none other than that. Artists like Begum Akhtar to Mendi Hasan and Ghulam Ali have given their blood to this plant. You must remember this -

'This time we are separated but we meet in dreams.

Like blooming flowers found in books,

The crowd of the new generation has increased so much that we feel that the possibility of them causing some damage to this education cannot be ruled out. But those who come prepared will get their share.

I also remembered a couplet-

'kamee nahin dradadaan kee akabar, kare to koee kamaal paida’

I asked, 'The letter came...people liked you after seeing and hearing you. I think it would be better if you combine singing and acting. Pankaj smiles - 'No-no 'Naam' was a thing for a special occasion, now whenever such an occasion comes, it will be a different thing. I don't have any time for singing.

But if video cassettes are made of singing. Along with ears, the issue of eyes will also be solved, don't you agree with this? Pankaj says. 'I intend to work on the same plan this year -' I am wondering how to make this vision come true?'

   It will be an interesting topic to see Pankaj explain his views. I can say that I found Pankaj's personality to be as calm as he was with the cheerfulness in his voice. The party gradually started wavering in the waves of the soldiers and I took leave of them. Govinda came and then the commotion of the birthday - the distribution of the disc was a strange fun everywhere. People in the press were asked to sit in the car outside at noon. The party was likely to go on late at night and I did not like the manner of hiding the celebratory atmosphere away from the eyes of the press I kept my bag and slippers outside a bus and returned barefoot to my residence in Leela Penta. I am praying that decency should come to this city of thieves and return my bag to me.

I was touched by one thing about Ghulam Ali.
chupake chupake raat bhar aansoo bahaana yaad hai mujhako meree aashikee ka vo jamaana yaad hai chupake-chupake..... phir gunagunaane ko vivash hua- jinake hotho pe hansee paavo mein chhaale hogen haan, vahee log tumhen chaahane vaale hoge

Goodbye readers
