Having initiated so many song threads, it’s literally a shame for me to have taken so long to dedicate a thread to this one of a kind living Nepali today. Quite arguably, he is one of a few persons so many Nepali expatriates can look up to. Having made a name for himself as a singer in the elite Radio Nepal scene, the man could never set a limited horizon for himself. Something inside his heart, I guess, he heard say “Go South, young manâ€.
Udit Narayan’s crucial first break as a Bollywood playback singer was provided by popular musician Rajesh Roshan for the movie Unees Bees (1980). The rookie was forgotten along with the movie in no time. The next movie he could sing for was Bade Dilwala (1982) to R.D. Burman's music. As he was placed directly neck to neck against heavyweights like Kishor Kumar and Lata Mangeshkar, he could not garner enough credit personally for the hit song. Quite obviously, any promising singer would be over-shadowed by such legends. But with patience and perseverance, Udit roared back hitting the bull between the eyes with his irresistible number Papa Kehte Hain for the movie Qayamat Se Qayamat Tak (1988) and has never looked back since.
Here is Udit singing jeevan ke din chhote sahee duet with legendary Lata for the movie Bade Dilwala. The song’s noteworthy lyric goes like:
Jeevan Ke Din Chhote Sahi Hum Bhi Bade Dilwale Kal Ki Humein Fursat Kahan Sochen Jo Hum Matwale
Jeevan Ke Din Chhote Sahi Hum Bhi Bade Dilwale Kal Ki Humein Fursat Kahan Sochen Jo Hum Matwale
Jeene Ka Rangeen Mausam Yeh Khoobsurat Zamana Jeene Ka Rangeen Mausam Yeh Khoobsurat Zamana Apne Yehi Chaar Pal Hain Aage Hai Kya Kisne Jaana Jeena Jise Aata Hai Woh In Mein Hi Mauj Mana Le Kal Ki Humein Fursat Kahan Sochen Jo Hum Matwale
Jeevan Ke Din Chhote Sahi Hum Bhi Bade Dilwale Kal Ki Humein Fursat Kahan Sochen Jo Hum Matwale
Yeh Zindagi Dard Bhi Hai Yeh Zindagi Hai Dava Bhi Yeh Zindagi Dard Bhi Hai Yeh Zindagi Hai Dava Bhi Dil Todna Hi Na Jaane Jaane Yeh Dil Jodna Bhi Is Zindagi Ka Shukriya Sadke Main Uparwale Kal Ki Humein Fursat Kahan Sochen Jo Hum Matwale
Kal Ki Humein Fursat Kahan Sochen Jo Hum Matwale
Jeevan Ke Din Chhote Sahi Hum Bhi Bade Dilwale Kal Ki Humein Fursat Kahan Sochen Jo Hum Matwale Sochen Jo Hum Matwale
This rarely gifted Nepali artist has known no boundaries to entertain music lovers by sharing his one of a kind Godly gift.
Please take a moment to post a song, express a personal opinion, or ponder upon how this man’s success inside and outside Nepal’s periphery is significant to other contemporary industrious Nepalese spread far and wide across the globe. Last but not the least, music, arts, or sports might be the last straw for Nepal as a country to come out of the political crises plaguing our land of eternal peace with such a rich diversity .
Aditya Narayan reunites with his first singing costar Asha Bhosle
When last week 19-year old Aditya Narayan finally stood on stage to host Zee's music-talent show Sa Re Ga Ma Pa, it was a moment of huge reckoning for him. The inimitable Asha Bhosle was watching him closely.
Says Aditya, "I'm 19, and I agree I'm from a musical family. Also, I've had considerable experience on stage with my father. But to have stalwarts like Ghulam Ali and Asha Bhosle watching me as I got a hang of my first full-fledged job as an anchor was an unsettling experience."
"Ashaji and I go back a long way," chuckles the affable Aditya. "I've been lucky enough to sing with her for A. R. Rahman in Rangeela and Taal as a child. Tell me, which kid has had this privilege. And now there she was in person smiling and observing me carefully."
Ashaji found Aditya cute. That made the debutant anchor's day and year. "When I had sung with Ashaji I was too young to know what it meant. But now, to have occupied the same space as her and to have her encourage me so warmly I couldn't have hoped for a more auspicious start to my career as an anchor."
To make Aditya even more nervous there was his father dropping in unannounced to check out how sunny-boy was doing. "If Papa had told me he was coming I'd have asked him not to. I knew I'd feel so self conscious in front of him! So he quietly finished recording his TV show Indian Idol and dropped in on our Sa Re Ga Ma Pa set to watch me from a hidden corner."
Aditya feels blessed. "Ghulam Ali Saab, Ashaji and my father (Udit Narayan), it was as though the heavens were blessing me. Yeah, I think I'll do okay as an anchor."
