We come back to our origin – Film Songs in Hamsadhwani.
Jai Maata – Meghe Dhaka Tara -A wonderful chota khyal from Meghe Dhaka Tara in Rag Hamsadhwani – Pt. A. Kanan http://youtu.be/2Gmv-auw1rI
laagi lagan pati sakhi sang…. from the movie “Meghe Dhaka Tara”….in the voice of pandit A.Kanan……..originally taken from carnatic classical music by Ustad aamir khan saheb….
Shri Illayaraja seems to have used this Raag quite profusely. Here is one of the lists of such songs:
And these are renderings as Ganapati Stutis – [prayers to Lord Ganapati] (Please recall comment recorded after the song Jaa Tose NAhen Bolun Kanhaiyaa – Film Parivaar. This relates the origin of the song to “Vatapi Ganapathim”, which is a traditional Carnatic piece.
So, here are some of the Ganapati Stuti gems:

I do not remember how I came to know that the song that I inherently liked – Jaa Tum se Nahin Bolun Kanhaiyaa – Manna Dey and Lata Mangeshkar, Shaliendra, Salil Chaudhary (Is it because each of the apparently known ingredients of the creation also happen to be my inherent favorites, that I liked this song? – I really do not know. But like I do.)- is based on a variant of classical Raag [Taraanaa in Raag Hansdhwani].
A few days back, I wondered what more can we find out about this song or Raag! And , hence this post……..
Next, in the list to listen is the basis of this song – as I know – the Taraanaa in Hamsadhwani. And what a coincidence – the two pieces that I had landed upon were rendered by Ustaad Amir Khan Saa’b and Begum Parveen Sultana, again my favorites when it come my pleasures of listening Indian Classical Music.
Here they are:
“Ustad Amir Khan tarana Raag Hamsadwani – awesome.flv”

Any formal education would not be effective if it is not applied judiciously in practice.
Of course, no education may ever be able to teach the trait of risk-taking.
However, there are instances galore of many businessmen who have done equally well even as they are ‘highly qualified’
That makes out a case for qualities required for starting-up a new business, and managing it ‘successfully’. These qualities can be ingrained or acquired. Education is the source of light that can make things clearly visible, but if you still want to collide, can it be helped? Read the Article at HuffingtonPost
