Sorry a mistake in post:13, colourless eyes, dishevelled hair, dehydrated lips, and parched throat are not mixed emotions but appearance of our peasant. I just got carried away by the magic in Rafi Sahab’s rendition.

A song that has effectively captured the mixed emotions of a peasant - colourless eyes, dishevelled hair, dehydrated lips, parched throat………….. His eyes are fixed on the sky looking for any traces of dark clouds, his heart throbs at the sight of crops basked in the scorching summer heat. We see him washing his hands in the cool water flowing through the canal, eating sookha roti and subji. At evening, as the horizon turns crimson, he bundles his sack and walks homebound with an optimism ………Ghol Ke Rakhiyo Apni Jholi Bhar Dega Daata……Neel Ganan Par…….

Rafi Sahab and Asha Ji take us far-off than lyrics and melody can take us.

“Neel gagan par udte badal…” as far as I remember I was a middle school student when I watched the film “KHANDAN”. And I remember two more melodious songs of the same film…”BADI DER BHAI NANDLALA…” and “TU HOKE BADA BAN JANA…” Actually RAVI and RAFI jodi has given us innumerable hit songs like… WAQT SE DIN AUR RAAT…CHHU LENE DO NAZUK…CHOUDHWIN KA CHAND…NASEEB ME JISKE JO…TUJHKO PUKARE MERA PYAR…BABUL KI DUAYEN LETI JA… Actually not only with RAVI, but Rafi saab was always comfortable with all the music directors. The moment his golden voice would touch a lyric, it would be a “GEET”. This kind if singer never comes to earth again and again. I can assume what we have lost on 31st July 1980.

I share the same feelings with Mr GURU MURTHY in his assessment of Khandan and it’s songs. All songs are real gems. Being a die hard Mohd Rafi Fan, I like almost all his songs. Kal Chaman tha and Badi der bhai nand lala go an extra mile.

I notice that the songs he sang during late 50’s to late 60’s were superb. If I narrow further, the songs in early to mid 60’s were absolute gems and to me the king was at his peak. We must also give credit to Music Directors and Lyricts and Urdu language.

Coming back to Khandan songs and Lata. Ravi used Lata very rarely, but her song was a gem and should figure amongst top ten of her. Ofcourse Madan Mohan will get most of the other ten.

Khandan is suppose to be Ravi’s one of the best performence of all times. He did get awarded for his master piece creation.
