Dear Friends,

It is a great pleasure to see this level of discussion and participation on our rich musical heritage. I congratulate you all and give my special thanks to Pradeepji for setting this forum dedicated to my father Pt. Shiv Dayal Batish.

Our family is presently residing in Santa Cruz, California. My father has been hard at work writing and has just two more days left to complete of his latest book of Chalans and compositions on the Ragas of North India. I hope to release these in the near future. I will be happy to keep you posted on this.

In the film industry, he is well know as simply S.D. Batish but in his works his Pseudonym is "Rasik" which was conferred upon him by his Guruji Shri Chandan Ram Charan of Patiala.

My father is 90 years young with the spirit and mind of a 40 year old. He is always looking ahead to the next level of achievement and the next plateau to conquer. Under his guidance, we are planning on starting classes to teach his compositions and start a new subset of musicians that will hopefully teach these songs to future generations. The great part of all this is that is the last 25 years my father has been hard at work recording these compositions. It is my commitment to produce these and release them in the future.

I will try and have my father give his input on this forum. I will also try uploading some of his songs.

More than anything else, I am hoping that all of you can help complete our collection of his old songs. I know he will appreciate this the most. Here is a sher from one of his ghazals

Chaahe’ dil jaataa magar ho-taa na dilbar se’ judaa,
reh nahi`n sakti kabhi machhli samandar se’ judaa

S.D. Batish

I present to you all this small "tofaa" of my fathers upcoming CD of Ghazals. It is a special gift to you all to listen and enjoy. The full CD is set to be released around December. I will be happy to let you all know of this.



All the best,
Ashwin Batish

PS. Please add any trivia and discuss things freely. I am just as much in need of information on my father's career. I feel that I really missed out on it all after moving to England in '64. I was only 12 year old. I wish I could have started learning and talking about all this then.
