Jagjit Singh – An Enigma

There is an old anecdote that my Father always tells me and my brother. “When you were little kids of 5 and 8 respectively (my brother is 3 years older than me) – people who would visit our house would often ask – who is listening to these ancient songs of Talat Mahmood?”. It turns…

A rather offbeat Indian Wedding where the Groom was asked to sing something on Guitar and the night took a musical turn when a Guitar emerged suddenly and Jagjit Singh’s rendition of “Unke Dekhe Se” Ghazal by Mirza Ghalib resonated in the skies of Jammu

An ode to my Guitar that came to stay with me in f An ode to my Guitar that came to stay with me in fall of 2008 during my stay in Sunnyvale. I composed many songs on it when the night was deep. It traveled back with me to India when I left US. Composed some memorable songs on it during my teaching stint in Delhi and Uttarakhand. Sadly, its neck gave in last yr so it now hangs at my entrance as a reminder of days gone by.
And This Old Guitar I recorded is a perfect ode to John Denver and my 🎸❣️.

I was surprised to find the LOC with Pakistan lies I was surprised to find the LOC with Pakistan lies only 20 mins from where we live in Jammu. To stand there between India and Pakistan and to chat with the brave men who protect our borders, I can't describe how it felt. Ever since I saw Prahaar in school, I wanted to join up the Army. Lot of my friends joined and I lost a few friends who gave up their life while defending the nation. Life took me on a different path. But I'll always remain a soldier and a poet at heart. 🪖🇮🇳🙏🏾.

May 2023 bring peace, gratitude and kindness. Peace to you all.

आओ ना हम भी सैर करें कोह ए तूर की

With this couplet, I am remembering Mirza Ghalib on yet another birth anniversary. Thanks to Dr. Varuna @himalayanhermits for introducing this new couplet to me. While I'm away from my Guitar this year, here's a rendition I had recorded a while back. My love with Mirza Ghalib goes back to 2004 when I was a student and used to carry Mirza Ghalib's Love Sonnets in my backpack everywhere I went. People even used to call it my Bible :D

I vividly remember my first visit to Mirza Ghalib's Haveli in Old Delhi in 2005, which was in a dilapidated condition back then. When I visited it last time, I was pleased to see that a small museum has come up within the Haveli and the condition is much better. If you're a lover of Urdu Poetry, do visit! Enjoy my rendition of Hazaron Khwahishen Aisi I had recorded a while ago.

I would like to pay my tribute to Mirza Ghalib with this short Nazm I wrote..
बहुत मुद्दत के बाद लौट कर वो आई है
शहर ए देहली जहां ग़ालिब भी कभी रहते थे
और बैठी रही गुमसुम वो सहर होने तक 
कोई साया नहीं दीवार ओ मुक़द्दर भी नहीं
तमाम रात परिंदे भी कहीं रोते रहे
ज़िन्दगी आब नहीं ज़िन्दगी ज़हर भी नहीं
दूर तक गूंजते हैं सन्नाटे
वो खड़ी सोचती है रात ये किधर काटे

(-Zafar)
