Ashwin:
Thanks for introducing your Dad to us. I was stuck up with so much of Mohammed Rafi, I did not even have the time to rediscover a hidden flower like your Dad. I must admit he had a great voice and style of singing including a good range. Although he sang such a long time ago, surprisingly both the type of voice he projected and his style of singing appear to be so much ahead of time and they sound very modern and contemporary. I must congratulate you in having such a great Dad. May God grant him even more longevity so that we can forward to receiving his blessings and guidance for many more years to come. Thanks again. Binod. धन्यबाद

Many thanks GKji,
This whole thing is such a rewarding and heartwarming experience! I am daily briefing my father and the rest of the family on the posts and the old songs that are being uploaded. I cannot describe the glow on everyone's faces here. They are simply exhilarated and we all feel so connected to a missing part of our lives. So thank you one and all My father sends his blessings and has just finished hearing the Qawalli you uploaded. It sound amazingly vibrant for a low res bit rate. Please add any more if you have them. I would appreciate a higher bit rate copy for our archives so if anyone has that you can either post it here or email it directly to me at info@batish.com Warm regards, Ashwin Batish QUOTE(gkshyam @ Aug 4 2005, 06:29 AM) A Very warm welcome to Ashwin Ji And my humble Pranaams to Pandit Ji Here's the song that everybody has been talking about. Song: Na Toh Kaarwaan Ki Talaash Hai Film: Barsaat Ki Raat (1960) Music: Roshan (Nagrath) Lyrics: Sahir Ludhianvi Singers: Mohd. Rafi,Manna Dey,Shiv Dayal Batish,Asha Bhonsle,Sudha Malhotra & Chorus Enjoy the song!!!!!! |

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. <snipped> Ashwin I am very fond of your Sitar Power series albums. By combining sitar with the new age funky fusion, you have managed to create a new genre that I must have introduced to many of my friends. This ghazal that you uploaded is sung very well and the sitar playing of your father (or, is it you?) was charming. Who sang it? It is extremely heartening to see you here among us music lovers. Welcome! Socrates said, "The unexamined life is not worth living". I fear if I examined it, then according to Heisenberg uncertainty principle it would somehow change.

Dear Dharmvirji My greatest thanks to you and our forum members for helping preserve these songs. It is such selfless effort that puts an exclamation mark on our rich heritage. I hope we can together fill the void in my father's collection. I will try, in the next few weeks, to locate and upload some from my existing collection that was presented by some of the fans on RMIM. I will be extremely greatful if you could help as best you can on any of my father's older panjabi songs (from 1936 - 1950). Especially the ones he recorded during his time in Lahore pre 1947. We literally have none of these. If you visit his web site at http://sdbatish.com/ go to filmography link and you'll see that I have started putting together a collection of his various movies. I also realise this will not happen in a few days or months. I will be patient and as we all bring forth this information to the forum I look forard to having this great ride Being as you are in the heart of Panjab, India, how hard is it to get prints of old Indian movies? Is there a source one can rely on? Also, my father mentions that he would personally give his copies of records to Radio Ceylon. Do you or anyone else reading this know what hapened to the station and specifically the large record and tape collection it housed? Can one still get copies out of this entity? My best wishes, Ashwin Batish |

Welcome! Anurag, Thank you for your comments on my Sitar Power series albums. I have a thrid one in the works. My family humorously calls my releases the " Das Varshi Yojanaa" I get so busy doing other things that the past two releases were 10 years apart and the new one is similarly coming out after almost 10 years of the 2nd album. I am fusing Funk, jazz, calypso etc in this one and having a ball doing it. On your question of my upload. ..... I am sorry i did not make this clear but here are the credits Vocals by : S.D. Batish Sitar, Tabla,sequencing, arrangement and mixdown - Ashwin Batish Music composed by S.D Batish Words by S.D. Batish Based on a Carnatic Raga Paavankari of the Paavani Mela #41 I am working on releasing a new CD of Ghazals like the one above in December. Glad you liked it My father's new stuff really is awesome. Best wishes, Ashwin Batish |

Awesome quality usrafian sahab.
The copy I had was courtesy indianscreen.com. This one is so much better. Great sampling too. Seems as though it was taken from the movie clip? Very funny part by my father. His is the raspy voice singing "Sun Kar Iss Paapi ...". I never saw the movie. Do you know if it is available?

Dear 50some1ji,
My most sincere thanks for your upload. This was indeed a very well sampled version. The 128k mp3 format is almost necessay to keep decent quality. wmas I find do a better job at 128k.I did a test in my studio and the wma compression at 128k retained the higher end much better. mp3s have a bass enhance effect. They are great if you have a shrilly sounding piece the mp3 will make it sound warmer. Most of the pieces I've received in the past have been in much lower resolutions but it was still great to hear the pieces! Anyway, thanks again for your contribution I look forward to many more such inputs. Best wishes, Ashwin Batish QUOTE(fiftysomeone @ Aug 8 2005, 05:20 AM) QUOTE(Ashwin Batish @ Aug 5 2005, 10:09 PM) Many thanks GKji, This whole thing is such a rewarding and heartwarming experience!

Ashwin,
Let me add on my "welcome to you" (onto HF). We are indeed very lucky to have you in our midst. Panditji's duets with Rafi from Railway Platform (Dekh Tere Bhagwaan Ki Haalat), Baalam (Duniya Waalon Mujhe Bataao), Humaari Manzil (Woh Aur Zamaana Tha...with Rafi and Geeta Dutt) and many many more really were the essence of the golden era of Hindi film music. Personally, I think Panditji and Chitalkar Ramachandra were some of the pioneers of the form of singing that since became popular through the late 50s and early 60s. Please convey my deepest regards to the great soul. Thank you Hithesh |
