   manish to borrow a word from my son’s lexicon, you are just awesome, too good, a cool dude, as cool as they make them.

   amazing reading. have really become your fan. arent you happy????

   but not fair, you have stolen my copyrighted patented request and are showing as if it comes from you (i am obviously referring to man ye bawra and bawra mann). Before I go to the courts for this serious offence, you better give the song requests back to the rightful owner ok?

   so dilli se padmaji ki farmayish: these two songs!!!!!!!!!!!

   you cheat!!!!!

4. padma, on June 24th, 2008 at 7:46 pm Said:

   i sent you such a long message manish. has it gone into your junk folder or what??????????????

5. RajaHasanBacker, on June 24th, 2008 at 8:31 pm Said:

   Okay Padmajee- Swanand Kirkire is yours.

6. padma, on June 24th, 2008 at 8:35 pm Said:

   wow thanks. i really really would like that so much!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! btw is he married??????
   hehe

   and i am padmaji only for my raja ok????? not for you.

7. RajaHasanBacker, on June 24th, 2008 at 8:48 pm Said:

   Not sure if Swanand is married - but is a lot younger than I though - Just 38. But arguably, the finest lyricist in town today.

8. Shobha, on June 24th, 2008 at 8:59 pm Said:

   Oh Sir RHB - you have again made my day. Thank you so much - wow and I’m fida over your writing - I hope you know that. Ek shikayat - why no Queen Shobha? - but I loved the “Jhumri Tilaiya se” bit - You are awesome. I loved this article - such a cool sense of humor and what style of writing. Can’t praise you enough. Now, one request - when do I get to read your script??? - I would love to read some kahani written by you - it would be awesome, I’m sure.

   Once again, thank you, thank you, thank you for putting this up and making it such a fun read for all of us and I’m sure, if Raja reads it, it’ll bring a huge grin on his face.

   And so many of the songs requested are also the ones I would Raja to sing for us. Now, I have a slight doubt, do you think it’s fair to do this to Raja - or should we just let him sing whatever he wants to sing for us???

9. Raffu, on June 24th, 2008 at 9:03 pm Said:

   Padma … who is Swanand Kirkire ? and how come I dont know that you got such a big crush on him… hello soutens dont hide things.. .come on blurt it out the details
   @ manish… enjoyed reading article… awesome… by the way who is from somajiguda? i dont think raffu begum is.. lol.. u r so funny
   oh i love that song mein benaam hogaya… i think that will sound awesome in raja’s voice

10. Raffu, on June 24th, 2008 at 9:04 pm Said:

    manish … why have u stopped calling shobha “queen”?
    Queen Shobha, I think you must punish him for that

11. Shobha, on June 24th, 2008 at 9:18 pm Said:

    I totally agree with you Raffu - kya punishment de??? Phie sochti hu ki he started my day so beautifully, maybe this one time I’ll let it go - but he better be careful in the future, right? And a big hello to you, Raffu.

    Yes, who is Swanand Kirkire ? Enlighten us, please.

12. RajaHasanBacker, on June 24th, 2008 at 9:45 pm Said:

    @Queen: Swanand Kirkire is a lyricist (Just won the national awards for his songs in Lage Raho Munnabhai).

    How he looks:

13. Raffu, on June 24th, 2008 at 9:52 pm Said:

    @ Shobha jaani… thanks for the big hello… a big hello to you too…
    u know Shobha, i am thinking Padma and Manish have named Swanand Kirkie as a nick name for Vishal Vishal of Vishal Shekhar..

    Kuch toh chakkar hai… they are upto something.. i wonder what was in that long message … ha ha ha ha

14. Shobha, on June 24th, 2008 at 9:54 pm Said:

    Thank you, Sir RHB - first for calling me Queen again - glad to note I’m back in your good books again

    Second, for enlightening us - I’m going to see videos a bit later. If he is the one who wrote the lyrics for Kyun Khoya khoya chand ki, I’m impressed - I like the lyrics so very much. Thank you.

15. Shobha, on June 24th, 2008 at 9:57 pm Said:

    No, Raffu, I just saw his picture - he’s not Vishal and he did admit to writing the lyrics for “Kyun khoya khoya chand ki” - I only got until that part of the video just now. Have to wait to see the video in full…later. Something to look forward to.

16. RajaHasanBacker, on June 24th, 2008 at 9:58 pm Said:

    @Queen he has not just written the Khoya Khoya title song, but sung it as well. Same with the songs in Hazaaron Khwaaishein Aisi. BTW, he has worked with Vishal-Shekhar a lot - not in any films yet, but in a lot of ad jingles.

17. perdaisydeewani, on June 24th, 2008 at 10:09 pm Said:

    Raja PLease please aap yeh songs zaroor gana.Hum sab ko bahut khushi ho gi.

18. Shobha, on June 24th, 2008 at 10:13 pm Said:

    Thx for the update Sir RHB, I’ve things to do and miles to go before I get to see the videos. So thx, now I know what to look forward to. And you said the magic names - Vishal-Shekhar. Are we biased or what???

19. padma, on June 24th, 2008 at 10:44 pm Said:

    haha so much of mystery I have inadvertently created raffu sweetheart my souten dearest and shobha nay queen shobha!!!!

    I simply adore swanand’s (hehe on first name terms in my mind at least) lyrics as well as voice and singing style. Simply adore his songs from hazzron khwaaishein aisi especially bawra mann dekhne chala ik sapna. raffu would love to make you hear it shobha you too.

    so no code words for vishal that was REALLY funny and manish the cheat knows that swanand is the one that i wanted raja to sing since a very long time, that’s why i called it my patented stuff.

    and manish swanand is 38???? shit yaar too old for me hahahahahahahaha

20. Shobha, on June 24th, 2008 at 10:49 pm Said:

    Hi Padma, we as usual are having a ball here. I have heard the song “bawra mann dekhne chala ik sapna” and have seen “hazzron khwaaishein aisi” - don’t remember all the songs. Will listen to the songs now. I liked the movie and I liked the bawra song a lot. Did not know it was from this movie, though.

    BTW, What does age matter??? Heart should young, yaar

21. RajaHasanBacker, on June 24th, 2008 at 10:59 pm Said:

    @Queen, does your yahoo email address work? Just sent you a “private” message on it.

22. Sadia, on June 24th, 2008 at 11:03 pm Said:

    Thankkkkk you sooo mucho Manish Bhai…
    and Raja please please please sing a few of these songs for us…if not alll…please

    love you Raja

23. padma, on June 24th, 2008 at 11:06 pm Said:

    how dare you send queen shobha a “private” message manish??????????????? GGGGrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

24. Shobha, on June 24th, 2008 at 11:11 pm Said:

    Just checked my mail. How many times are you going to make me say thank you to you? - anyways, here goes 3 more times thank you, thank you, thank you. Got you email. Will go home and read it. I don’t log on to my email accounts from work - absolutely no security set up here- and I have been burnt a number of times, so am pretty wary to do any logging in here. I will get back to you soon.

    Padma, if you ask nicely, Sir RHB will send you a private message, too , won’t you, Sir RHB - but she has got to be nice, right???

25. Shobha, on June 24th, 2008 at 11:17 pm Said:

    And Padma I am listening to songs from “hazzron khwaaishein aisi”. Now I remember your swanand’s voice and the songs - Thank you both for the reintroduction to a wonderful singer and lyricist, Padma and Sir RHB.

26. Shobha, on June 25th, 2008 at 12:15 am Said:

    Padma, just look at the power of thoughts — the radio station I’m listening is playing “Kyun khoya khoya chand” - amazing, hah??? :)

27. lavanya, on June 25th, 2008 at 1:35 am Said:

    Thank you so much, Manish ji,

    Raja,
    Is baar aap koyi aise fast number gaayi ye ki humaare saath saath judges bhi naach uthe.
    “All the best Raja”

    shobha this line is for you
    waqt ki qaid mein zindagi hai magar

    God Bless Habib Wali Mohammed

    Shobha you have started a chain of songs in my head
    marney ki duaein kyon maangoon jeeney ki tamana kaun kare
    yeh duniya ho ya woh duniya ab khahish duniya kaun karey
    jo aag lagayi thi tum ne usko toh bujhaya ashkon ne
    jo ashkon ne bharkayi hai us aag ko thanda kaun karey
    I can go on about mr Mohammed oh another pet peeve it is khahish not khwahish

36. Shobha, on June 25th, 2008 at 11:29 pm Said:

    That’s lovely Mmaoji - Mujhe kuch kuch samaj agaya. Jo bhi samaj aaya - I loved it. Thank you so much Mmaoji. I got all of it, I think - read it a few more times

37. Shobha, on June 25th, 2008 at 11:33 pm Said:

    Oh Mmaoji - I envy you - you remember the songs - I have tough time doing that. I loved the second song too. And yes, I think mujhe samaj aaya. I just love to read beautiful songs, poems, stories… I’m so happy. Thank you for sharing, Mmaoji.

38. padma, on June 25th, 2008 at 11:40 pm Said:

    my favourite lines you have quoted mmao and i am singing while reading!!! thanks so so much.

    waqt ki qaid mein zindagi hai magar
    chund ghariyaan yehi hain jo azaad hain
    inko kho kar kaheen jan e jaan
    umr bhar na tharastey raho
    aaj jaaney ki zid na karo

    so wonderful.

    yuhin socho zara kyon na rokey tumhe
    jaan jatee hai jab uth ke jatey ho tum
    then i forgot jaane jaan
    then i forgot maan lo

    aaj janey ki zid na karo

39. Shobha, on June 25th, 2008 at 11:53 pm Said:

    Mmaoji and Padma - has this been sung by anyone? If yes, can you give me the link to listen to this song?

40. lavanya, on June 26th, 2008 at 12:10 am Said:

    Shobha,
    I heard this song for the first time, when Aishwarya ( winner of VOI Chote ustaad), sang this song in Chote ustaad.

41. Raffu, on June 26th, 2008 at 12:10 am Said:

    Shobha… it has been sung by Farida Khaanum and also by Asha Bhosle later. its a very famous ghazal.
    Here are the links…….
    original singer is farida khanum her link is…

    http://www.musicstation.in/playsong-442.html

    you will also find this in movie “Monsoon Wedding”
    then Asha Bhosle sang the same one later… here is the link……….

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnAVroHAwHE

    oh by the way i posted the link above but i hope its the right link.. youtube is restricted so i hope i am posting the right link

42. Raffu, on June 26th, 2008 at 12:12 am Said:

    i just feel aaj jaane ki zid na karo is not for singing competitions… its only when raja comes to meet me then i should be singing that for him… raja shouldnt sing that for anyone else
    so no Raja jaani, pls dont sing the above ghazal

43. Raffu, on June 26th, 2008 at 12:14 am Said:

    by the Aishwarya from SaReGaMaPa 2005 is the host for SaReGaMaPa 2008 USA and he is doing a pretty good job… i am happy for him

44. Shobha, on June 26th, 2008 at 1:03 am Said:

    I am so very dumb - I’ve listened to this song so many times and it’s one of my favorites and when it’s written down, I can’t even recognise it. Thanks Raffu for refreshing my memory and thanks Mmaoji for bringing this up. Wasn’t this also a song in one of the really old hindi movie or was it a hit album song?? I feel I’ve listened to it much before Monsoon Wedding days.

45. Shobha, on June 26th, 2008 at 1:19 am Said:

    Thanks Sir RHB for the videos - just saw them. Such a wonderful lyricist - Thank you - I love the lyrics. Maybe, I’ve already said that

46. mmao, on June 26th, 2008 at 1:20 am Said:

    Shobha never mind anyone else if you didn’t hear it by Habib Wali Mohammed you have not heard the song please try to find a version by him it is his song

47. Shobha, on June 26th, 2008 at 1:31 am Said:

    I will try Mmaoji. I will search the web and if I find it, I’ll let you know.

48. Shobha, on June 26th, 2008 at 1:40 am Said:

    Found it Mmaoji. Listen to Track02.mp3. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I believe this is the voice I had heard long back. He has such a beautiful voice. Thanks again.

55. Shobha, on June 26th, 2008 at 2:25 am Said:

    I can’t say I understand 100% urdu - I love the language - I have been trying to find a Urdu to Hindi to English dictionary for years and of course the urdu and hindi words should be written in English as well. As you can imagine, my search has been futile so far.

    I try my best to figure out what the lyrics mean - if I can’t figure out and can’t find anyone to explain them to me - I make my own meaning up - till I can get it clarified. But, now that I have you, I’ll just ask you to explain the tough ones to me.

    I listened to few of the ghazals here - loved them. I love ghazals. He has such a soothing voice. I’ll listen to more tomorrow.

    I have to go now. Bye Mmaoji. Nice spending so much time with you and thanks for the education. Hope to chat with you tomorrow.

    Bye all.
