85 years old Pyarelal ji: A confluence of music, humility, and celebration

Known for his humility, modesty and strict discipline, the genius composer and piano and violin maestro (always clad in spotless white kurta) Pyare-Bhai ( as we fondly call him) seemed emotionally overjoyed with sentiments.  Holding my hand in a clasp-grip Pyare-bhai said. “With Maa Saraswati Devi’s blessings and Lord Sai Baba’s blessings, my health is fit and fine. Fit hai toh hit hai. ! Harmony and music is my life-line,” said 'global-fame' Pyare-bhai who has a sharp memory and stamina of a ‘58’ year old ( reverse of  85 !)!

Everyone was missing  Pyare-bhai’s favourite music-savvy pet parrot ‘Mithoo’ who passed away in January this year.  By a strange coincidence, singer-fan Krutika gifted him an artistic crafted transparent box of wonderful cut-out images and a cute parrot in its cage.

 The 85th birthday became more exciting when a group of his ardent die-hard fans including classical singers Raman Rajput and  Krutika Shrivastava, singer Naeem Saqlaini, restaurateur-singer  Nikhil Bhinde and eminent playback singer Vinod Seshadri ( of Kishore Kumar voice fame) fondly recalled and sang some of  L-P's hit songs,  even as zestful  (seated ) Pyare-bhai was seen gesturing his arms to the melodic rhythmic beats. While Vinod  Seshadri sang the lively fast-tempo ‘Jawaani O Deewani Tu Zindabad’,  singers Raman and Nikhil sang ‘Darde Dil’ and Main Shaayar Toh Nahin’ . Both these evergreen songs were both picturised-on-Rishi Kapoor  ! 'Coincidentally’, the next day ( Sept 4th ) was 'late' Rishi Kapoor's  73rd  birth anniversary   .

The evening guests who stayed till late  also included popular concerts singer  Sarrika Singh,  eminent composer-arranger-violin maestro Amar Haldipur ( of movie ‘Shahenshah’ fame), eminent ace veteran musicians Arvind Haldipur, Rashid Khan , Suresh Yadav and short-statured popular actor Zaheer Shaikh with his family. While leaving and saying bye, I sing his composed song  ‘Achha toh hum chalte hain and in friendly tone Pyare-bhai responds with ‘phir kab miloge’,!
