  1. Episode 25 - Violet is the color for profound thoughts about life

    Episode 25 - Violet is the color for profound thoughts about life

    In this concluding episode of this season of the podcast, I explore the color violet, the last color of the rainbow. The color purple or violet, occurs rarely in nature and as a result is often seen as having sacred meaning. Purple both calms and stimulates us, being a combination of blue and red. It puts us in the mood for introspection and insight. It fosters creativity by awakening our senses while promoting the quiet necessary to make intuitive, insightful observations - allowing us to get in touch with our more profound thoughts. The songs featured are - 1.Kisi ki muskurahaton par ho nisar (Anari/1959/Shankar Jaikishan/Shailendra/Mukesh) 2.Oh re taal mile nadi ke jal mein (Anokhi Raat/1968/Roshan/Indeevar/Mukesh) 3. Neele gagan ke tale (Hamraaz/1967/Ravi/Sahir/Mahendra Kapoor) 4. Ye kaun chitrakar hai (Boond jo ban gayi moti/1967/Satish Bhatia/Pt Bharat Vyas/Mukesh) 5. Zindagi hai kya (Satyakam/1969/Laxmikant Pyarelal/Kaifi Azmi/Kishore Kumar, Mahendra Kapoor & Mukesh) 6. Sajan re jhoot mat bolo (Teesri Kasam/1967/Shankar Jaikishan/Shailendra/Mukesh) 7, Rahi manwa dukh ki chinta (Dosti/1964/Laxmikant Pyarelal/Majrooh Sultanpuri/Md Rafi) 8. Chalo ek baar phir se (Gumraah/1963/Ravi/Sahir/Mahendra Kapoor) 9. Jaise suraj ki garmi se (Parinay/1974/Jaidev/Pt Ramanand Sharma/Sharma Bandhu) 10. Laga chunari mein daagh (Dil hi to hai/1963/Roshan/Sahir/Manna De) 11. Sansaar se bhaage phirte ho (Chitralekha/1964/Roshan/Sahir/Lata Mangeshkar) As always, feedback/comments welcome at fivetenhundred@gmail.com

    Episode 23 - Green is the colour of love

    The colour green has a strong association with nature and immediately brings to mind the lush green of grass, trees, hills, and forests. Perhaps because green is so heavily associated with nature, it is often described as a refreshing and tranquil color. It is the sanctuary away from the stresses of modern living, restoring us back to a sense of well being. Green, is restful & soothing. It promotes a love of nature, and a love of family, friends, pets and the home. There’s a sense of togetherness & peace when we are in presence of the color green. Hence, I have chosen green as the colour of love. And that is my theme for today - LOVE. The songs featured are -  Yeh zindagi usi ki hai (Anarkali/1953/C Ramchandra/Rajendra Krishan/Lata Mangeshkar) Jalte hain jiske liye (Sujata/1959/S D Burman/Majrooh Sultanpuri/Talat Mahmood) Teri aankhon ke siva (Chirag/1969/Madan Mohan/Majrooh/Md. Rafi) Hai duniya usi ki (Kashmir Ki Kali/1964/O P Nayyar/S H Bihari/Md Rafi) Diwana hua baadal (Kashmir ki Kali/1964/O P Nayyar/S H Bihari/Md Rafi & Asha Bhonsle) Tum jo mil gaye ho (Hanste Zakhm/1973/Madan Mohan/Kaifi Azmi/Md Rafi) Itna na mujhse tu pyaar badha (Chhaya/1961/Salil Chowdhury/Rajendra Krishan/Talat M. & Lata M.) Pyar hua iqrar hua (Shri 420/1955/Shankar Jaikishan/Shailendra/Manna De & Lata M.) Tum agar saath dene ka (Hamraaz/1967/Ravi/Sahir Ludhianvi/Mahendra Kapoor) Jeet hi lenge baazi hum tum (Shola aur Shabnam/1961/Khaiyyam/Kaifi Azmi/Md Rafi & Lata M) - This is also the cover picture for today As always, feedback/comments welcome at fivetenhundred@gmail.com

    Episode 19 - Influence of Indian Classical music on Bollywood music

    Bollywood story telling is all about conveying moods - one is happy, sad, at peace with the world, feeling awestruck and so on. And what better device to convey the mood than the hindustani classical ragas set to appropriate rhythmic talas. Whether explicitly so or otherwise, hindustani classical music and bollywood have had a huge connection - especially when it came to music of 1950s and 60s.  The songs covered in this episode are - 1. Poochho na kaise maine rayn bitayi - Meri soorat, teri aankhen (1963) 2. Woh shaam, kuchh ajeeb thi - Khamoshi(1969) 3. Phir kahin koi phool khila - Anubhav(1971) 4. Kahin deep jale kahin dil - Bees saal baad(1962) 5. Tere sur aur mere geet - Goonj uthi shehnai(1959)
