Non-srgmp music discussions
Ok…First I have to admit that ‘The Readers of This Site’ are truly music lovers…Lately there was a discussion about the unheard but Truly deserving songs…There are so many songs with which we are not too familiar but they are just too good to listen.
Today Senty requested me to start a new thread for these songs (so that we can track these songs easily). Many readers of this site have already posted their list in their comments. For me it’s very hard to go through all the comments and reposted them here. So I just request all of you to post your songs list on this thread..
Hey Mehfil,
Vowwwwwww, such a great idea to start a blog for books and movie reviews etc. Something like “cafe corner” where you just exchange views about your favourite books or movies. Soooo exciting even to imagine what kind of blog or a link it would be. Totally agree with you this blog is spreading its wings in the most creative fashion.
The best thing would be to request dear Senty to add another link to the music blog. Bhai sub feathers is “blog bird” kai saath-saath rakhte hai, taki urne mai asani hogi.
I have a huge collection of books and movies, so I will post the list. About “City Woman” book, let me check out the link first.
Regards,
Rekha
Hey Mehfil,
I did check that link. That does not look to be the right one. Try Bookfinder.com. This book is listed on their site, though published by another company now. Originally “City Women” was published by Beacon Press/Boston in year 1993. Border books have the title but it is clearly marked as “out of print”.
So try Bookfinder site.
@Senty,
Ya, your guess is good. This book is very interesting. I have read it many times and still I pick up when I am in REAL mood of reading.
I have yet to read “Kite Runner”. Lately, so many people have told me about it.
I am a movie BUFF so I can post the review on your movie review link. Like I said to Mehfil that is “blog bird” ke sare feathers ek site pur rakhengai toh usai urne mai asani hogi.
@Rekha
I’ll create a section for the movies/books review.. looking fwd to them from you.. I’ll do this over the weekend after the circus is over.
“Kite Runner” is highly recommended. I believe the movie is coming out soon.. but I suggest you read it before you watch the movie.
G’night

@Rekha
Got it gal ! thanks, I am expecting the book on monday !
Do post your Fav.books on senty’s blog, I will do the same. Last night I made a GRAND discovery, and was pleasantly Amused. can you guess Mehfil’s zodiac sign? checkout later ( way later at senty’s blog !
@Senty
You DID it gal, you have managed to collect all the ” BIKHRAY HUAY LOG”, and I see most of them are heading to your blog, isnt it awesome ? It goes to show that it takes very little to make friends, what really takes a lot is to keep them HAPPY ! you have successfully completed the first step. for the second part, I suggest, duniya chor de dost, noukri chor do and be BINDAS, for that is the ONLy way you can keep all of us happy. besides, I’m very very Demanding, Ain’t I ?
Keep it up gal, I’m sure soon we will have a blast on your blog, just wondering what will happen when your blog grows beyond the space limit ? Oh well, we will think about it later. for Now, everything looks cool. Looks like this blog will evenatually be a separate DOTCOM ( Well, I’m a Visionary, what can I say !!!). Kudos gal.
0.02, anon, raj and mdoc73 are missing in action.
@Dockaul
Your collection is NOT going unnoticed, I refered a few friends to your esnips, I wanted to leave a few comments, but the firewall at home doesnt let me post, last night I made a few changes, I promise to leave a THANK YOU NOTE and ofcourse my demands for more music! Thank you for your effort and a magnificent collection.
Regards
Mehfil
@Mehfil / @all
Thanks for your encouraging words !! its indeed exciting to be able to keep in touch with all of you. I hope the bichde hue log somehow will find their way to us soon. I miss Harsh&Raw.. she was my parter in many mudda we took up way back in the early days of this show in this blog. And I miss mdoc73, Priti, Harvinder (few posts but brought back bhoole-bisere songs in his posts).. kahan ho aap log ?
Alse expecting a huge participation from our dear friends from the other side of the border… Please tashreef laayiye !
I have to credit dockaul for constantly pushing me to start my own blog. Thanks doc !
I like Mehfil’s vision of a dotcom LOL… why not ! But seriously, my dream is to discuss, discover and share anything and everything about music…. and now books and movies too. Rest is que sera sera.
I will do more cleanup and upgrade to the blog later this weekend/next week.
Remember guys, its not MY blog, its OUR blog !! (Dang !! Agla elections kab hai ?)
- Senty
@Senty,
Thanks for the movies/books review section. The movie “Kite Runner” is going to be out shortly which means I have to read the book now. So I am planning to make a trip to near by Borders this weekend.
@Mehfil,
Let me guess, you are an Aquarian. Now I have to wait till I go back home and confirm at la Musique.
guys esp awol 0.02

i am SOOO loving it! esp sallu bhai makes his appearance, sonam is so pretty and ranbir is cute!
God i cant wait for this movie!!
@ all regulars , will be more active in a few weeks, gotten busy ..
note to self-i need to bookmark sentys blog..
oh re: my movie forum, its gotten kinda defunct, i will migrate important and interesting stuff from there to your blog senty when time permits
Dear Anonji,
AWOL and sabbatical are interpreted in a similar way I guess. I had taken a break, there was nothing to comment on. Its amazing how much hatred exists lying latent for the right opportunity to inflame…People seem to be waiting for an opportunity to spout noisome offal.
I liked the clip, it had a religious/festive air, an air of anticipation and innocence/the feel of teenage years…all kinds of magic in the air. Takes us all back to that time, I guess. Need more of such magical moments!!
I agree with you, the couple look “divine” and Salluji’s entrance is so well timed. Wish them a lot of success and to all of you.
I will miss you, mehfilji, Sumitroji, Sajalji, Indraniji, Sentyji, Sweetyji, Basitji, dockaulji, Rekhaji and all the others. In case I have missed anybody, pls. accept my apologies.
I respectfully wish all of you a happy life. With love and respect, let me wish all of you -

@0.02Wji
Hope you will visit this thread and catch this note to you …
Please dont say goodbye yet. We all miss you in the senty blog. And ofcourse we will reconvene
here when the lil champs show begins I’m sure. So as Doc said, keep the faith.
Do stop by at the senty-musique blog. Still working to clean up and make it convenient for all, but there is already a lot going on.

this is not the end, just the begining..
yeh aaghaaz hai , anjaam nahin
( more cliches to follow)
but seriously, pl do join the hoi polloi at sentys
here is a gem to entice u
love this one to death
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecUOFgl3Rnw
am glad u liked the picturization of”yun shabnami” i wasnt expecting the qawalli part to be picturised on dancing holy men but what the hey,,it worked for me!
i actually have no interest in lil champs..i think little kids voices just sound weird ( esp the boys)
i guess shreya was the exception
and there was this yucky video of a barely 10 – 11 y old boy( ?samir) in full rockstar gear with his gaggle of young female back up dancers on youtube that i found rather disturbing..v precocious behaviour
whatever happened to the innocent childhood that was part of my memories.. i dont remember 11 year old girls dressed as adult female back up dancers..
@skhan
Thanks.. will check it out @ home later. Pls do check out apna senty blog… http://senty-musique.blogspot.com/
@anon
Abhijeet may be retained as THE joker in lil champs. Dont miss it ! Nautanki mein HR ka baap hai yeh..
lil champs mein hum gaane thodi sunenge.. we’ll be facing the other way.. judges ka naatak dekhenge yaar
Unfortunately you are right.. childhood and innocense dont go together anymore.

@ senty
i think i have had enuff of besharmia kinds to last me a looong time.. i can now go back to ignoring him ( and his kind) and pretend he doesnt exist( not living in india DOES have its plus side he he)
seriouly tho, it will be seriously traumatising for the kids to be subjected to shennanigans like bappi and himesh
@SKhan—
WAH WAH! Kya nagma tha… bahut bahut shukriya.. I am truly thankful to you for adding this gem to my khazana. Do keep up good work.
@All
People do check out da Waqar Ali song Tum Kaisi Mohabbat Karte Ho suggested by SKhan.. **** Rating.
@dockaul – I am glad you liked the song so much. He is a truly talented singer. Unfortunately he does not have too many CDs in the market. Such a shame!!! Waqar’s claim to fame is singing the titles for some popular Pakistani Urdu Dramas. Here is another gem from Waqar that some of you may have heard before.

@skhan
Quick note before I leave for work.. I have been listening to “mera naam hai mohabbat” for a long time now.. but havent got a good quality download yet. Sajjad Ali (brother ?) downloads are available though.
Also, if you could give a download link to Shafqat Amanat Ali’s punjabi song from the Pak TV serial “Makaan” that’ll be awesome ! I think the music of this is also by Waqar Ali. Id be very greatful if youll post this info in the senty-musique blog as well.
THANKS in advance !!

Dear 0.02 jee,
Abhi na jaao chhod ke!!
Senty jee’s blog will be a good place for reunion, as suggested by Doc jee.
Without you I will remain only a passive participant in this and in the senty-musique blog as I am now — I only read posts but have become somewhat blasé about writing myself.
My best wishes are always with you, but don’t wish to utter the last farewell yet.
Senty/Dockaul/All music fans,
Try one of my favourite ghazal sung by Ustad Amanat Ali Khan, alaap in the end is very special..
Use the following link and chose “Aa mere pyar ki khushboo”
http://www.muziq.net/showpage.php?page=genre.php?page=all&type=Ghazal
@basit
aapke paas iss ghazal ka audio download hai? I have a very scratchy version and am looking for a good audio.
Right now, I have a AAK ghazal playing in the senty blog.. pls check it out ! Also will be playing my fav Pak film songs for our pak (and Ind) friends.
http://senty-musique.blogspot.com/

Also try to listen another very good songs “Anokha Ladla” and ” Akhan Cham Cham” by Tina Sani. Pl check the following website and pick Tina Sani from dropdown list against Artistes.
http://www.pakistanimusic.com/
I jope u will like these songs. Send me ur comments.

@Senty,
Pl read “hope” which I printed “jope”….sorry for spell error
@saniya
I have no idea if you will ever see this post. But I want to address this to you….with my heartfelt THANK YOU !!
I was reviewing the recommendations in this forum (ya taking my own sweet time !!) and I checked out the “Raqs-e-bismil” album by Abida Parveen. I downloaded it this weekend from emusic.
Mindblowing !! You suggested “Zahid ne” and from there I went to the album and got hooked to the whole album … for life !
Thank you Saniya, whoever you are, whereever you are, for sending my way, this amazing stupendous divine collection of some of the best sufi work by Abida Parveen.
“Raqs-e-bismil” is a Muzaffar Ali presentation. I also very strongly recommend Musaffar Ali’s “Husn-e-jaana” a great collection of ghazals.
I will post this msg in senty-musique.blogspot.com in case you visit there.
- Senty
OMG SENTTYY
thats so sweet of you.. i’m so very glad you enjoyed the music… i just love that CD – my dad was playing it once and i heard it and started listening to it it was really a divine experience for me — this woman’s voice and the compositions are just great… i would also recommend some of the faiz’s ghazals she has sung.. http://www.pakistanimusic.com >> Select her in artists and you can check out some of the ghazals by her –I think the album is called “Faiz by Abida” and some of my favourites are “Hamne sab sher mai” …hope you’ll enjoy it as much…
You know obviously after SRGMPA was over i wasn’t coming to this site AS OFTEN as i was previously – but i just came today after a while and was looking at some of the old stuff and I just saw my name in the comments
we should stay in touch!!! i consciously tried to un-hook myself from the site but i used to come only to read your comment lol – Ctrl-F’ing to “senty”‘s comments… i have visited your blog and glad you started it…take care and hope to be in touch with you… Regards – Saniya
@saniya
O windOfmySoul ! There you are ! Glad to catch you again here. Please keep sending your recommendations… feel free to post them in the senty blog. I will regularly visit here too.
Ofcourse, I’ll check out the “Faiz” you have suggested.
- Senty

Namzad appeal goes to Mdoc, Sania, Kanan,0.02 cents, H & R, Basit, SKhan, Gaffar Khan, P (Priti), Sumitro, Anon,Rekha, Mehfil, Sajal,
Sweety, Indrani, i48998, Harvinder,Vijay,Harvinder, Panks,Azzy, Sabiha,Manjri, Basumatika ,Sid, Choocho Booboo etc . to rekindle the fires once again either here or at http://www.senty-musique.blogspot.com/ our new adda.

Hey all music/saregamapa fans,
Hope you guys got the news that Saregamapa2007 9 finalists are performing live in USA from next month.
I know New Jersy date and venue.
Friday Nov 30th, 2007 at 8 PM
Venue – The Theater at Continental Airlines Arena, New Jersey
Please let me know if anybody know more info abt other cities.
SC
@SC
Thanks for sharing this good news. Any idea if Poonam, Raja and Mussarat are part of this group? I heard sometime back that these contestants had not signed any contract with Zee TV.
Rekha
@Rekhaji,
It is true that Poonam, Raja and Musarrat have not signed any contract with Zee, but they are part of the SRGMP tour of Canada, US and Europe. Actually, not having signed any contract could be a blessing in disguise for these individuals, as they are not bound by Zee and can take up any assignment. Just look at Debojit who was bound by a contract, and what happened to him. Lets all pray for the successful future of these singing stars of the future.
@Ashrafji,
Thanks very much. Indeed it is a blessing for these 3 stars not to get in any kind of binding with Zee TV. Any idea what cities in USA they are going to visit? As posted by SCji, New Jersey is one of them. If you have come across any other related news, pl let us know.
With regards,
Rekha
@Rekhaji
SRGMP team is scheduled in Perform in Atlanta, GA and Dallas, TX, besides New Jersey. I believe, since Zee is not doing any charity work, and the tour means money to them, they will definitely have the team perform at all the possible locations that has a sizeable Indo-Pak (Hindi/Urdu speaking/knowing) population. Some reliable information regarding the tour can also be found at http://www.rajahasan.com, website dedicated to Raja.
Hi,
Can anyone tell me from where can i get the cd of “Raag se ghazal tak” by Amanat Ali-Fateh Ali.I got the download from amazon.com. But i am looking for the cd. Response appreciated.

can anyone please send me the title song of z tv serial tum bin jaoon kahan. my e-mail id is sapv1@yahoo.co.in
A hearty WELCOME to all who followed the link here.
Do hope the discussion above have enriched your life as they did mine. Feel free to discuss any topic concerned with music.
Looking forward to some dynamic interaction for the duration of SRGMP VY 2209.
It was a truly enriching experience here during C07. My music collection has almost doubled since then. I got into some new “joners” of music that I was not much familiar with before.
I hope this forum is revived and gets more visibility. Its sad that I have to google to get here
Admin ji.. asha hai ki aap jaldi hi kuch karenge.
I am new to this forum. I enjoyed reading all the comments of the true music lovers here and would love to be a psrt of it.
@ Admin,
Please start with some interesting topic…also if you could post a link to this forum in your main srgmp2009 website.

your question sounds like its from a 8th grade social science paper. Anyways..
2008 .. The year of the nose.. but here goes..
some sur saaz and soz ..
Mehfuz – from “Aamir”
What I like about this one..?? Well everything.. sufiish, nice lyrics, handsome non-Khan hero Rajeev Khandelwal
One of the few songs in 2008 that made it to my collection.
I am leaving out the maa and pehli nazar and the zara si dil mein de jagah tu … etc.. These did make it to my collection.. but I wanted to talk about something that is not much talked about.
In the spirit of Sufism a link would have been appreciated..
Here goes..
