Comments on: My Love For Rafi Sahab http://www.mohdrafi.com/meri-awaaz-suno/my-love-for-rafi-sahab.html It's all about Mohd Rafi Thu, 08 Jan 2009 11:48:23 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.6.2 By: Girish Modi http://www.mohdrafi.com/meri-awaaz-suno/my-love-for-rafi-sahab.html#comment-38986 Girish Modi Sat, 13 Sep 2008 13:23:48 +0000 http://www.mohdrafi.com/writeups/?p=34#comment-38986 I have had similar experience with Rafi Saab. A year before he passed away Rafi Saab had made a concert tour of North America. I went to his New York Concert first, too k his photos on the stage from a close distance. While singing Safi Saab will give a pose to me which was unnoticed by audience. In those days we did not have digital cameras, so next day I took my three rolls of film to a lab and had them developed. I had some photographs enlarged. I made up an album of Rafi Saab's photos. After a few days Rafi Saab's concert was held in Philadelphia. I drove to Philadelphia. I presented my album to Rafi Saab on the back stage and spoke with him for about half hours. Mostly we spoke about his hit songs, some famous and some not famous. I particularly liked a song named "O Mati ke putle, itna na kar tou guman", and sag first few lines in my own voice. Rafi Saab got very happy and complimented me. I had an album called "This is Mohammad Rafi". It has a lot of non-filmi bhajans and ghazals. This is my most fabourite album. Would you believe Rafi Saab gave his autograph on this album and made it very precious. I asked him to write my name too, but he said he does not know English, so he did not write it. Next day Rafi Saab was living for London where his children were living. I went to the airport to say goodbye. At the airport Safi Saab fell sick in the Maharaja Louge of Air India. We all got worried. After half an hour he was ok and got ready to aboard the place. At that time I saw his right arm was not straight. He had removed his necktie and looked unwell. I too his photo at that moment. Next year I was saddened to hear about his death by heart attach and I cried I have had similar experience with Rafi Saab.

I have always been a great fan of Rafi. I liked your artical, esp. because a person not knowing Hindi well was mesmerised by his voice and ultimately became a fan. I used to sing most of Rafi's songs. I am no more able to sing but I whistle almost all of his songs and also give stage performances of his songs. I would like to be a member if you are having any club. Are you in India now? If yes, I would love to present his songs on whistle for you specially.

From the above article, truly, she is one of the greatest fans of the legend that is Rafi. My hats off to her, and my great respects for her. Just as when Krishna played the flute, the Gopis used to dash off to him... likewise I am sure the fans of Rafi Sahaab must have undergone his hypnotic spell on us all. In my youthful days, it was the song MERE MEHBOOB TUJHE MERI MUHABBAT KI QASAM that made me forego everything, including my job and I used to dash off to the source from where this song emanated, leaving everything behind. Yes, truly there was Jaadu in his voice. Nalini Ramji’s love for Rafi Sahaab’s singing abilities reminds me of Radha and Meera’s devotion to Krishna.

I thank to Nalini Ramji for her love she has expressed about rafi sahib which I was not able to write. I can only say that without voice of Rafi sahib my life would have black and white but if there is colour it is only because of his incredible voice.
