The Raja Hasan Interview - Part 2

This sounds more like an “Everything you wanted to know about Raja Hasan, but never got answers“. In the second part of the Raja Hasan interview telecast on the Best of Saregamapa on Zee Muzic, Raja gets a lot more comfortable, a lot more wittier and incredibly funny too.

For those not in […]

A Composer called Raja

It was Ismail Darbar who first mentioned it. After a Saregamapa performance in one of the early rounds, when Raja Hasan put in his trademark variations to the song, Ismail did comment that Raja could do very well as a composer as well. Not many of us gave that a serious thought. And then it […]

Rukaawat ke liye Khed hai… Sorry for the interruption…

Pesh Hai…Aap ki Farmaish

There’s not much happening post Saregamapa and the world tour. So let me ramble around with my preferences in this post.

There Always Is A First Time…

A few years down the line, when I sit back and read these pages, perhaps I would be a bit amused and ask myself - Did I really write that stuff? Maybe, it could be a similar feeling for you when you browse through the comments. Did I write that comment on this website?
