To Start with.....

I decided to write this blog on Hindi Film music as one of my good friend Ankit Khandelwal insisted me to write something on it. I would like to come up with interesting discussions on topics ranging from Evolution of Hindi fim music to famous composers to lyrics writers different genres of music ,hit songs,plagiarism and many more issues. 

There is a point :Why hindi Film music only : First  my knowldege of western music is very narrow quite now.I like few composers like Famous western classical musicians( Mozart,Beethoven...) Peter Gabriel,Yanni,Vangelis,Pavarotti and folk musicians all over the world.However I have absolutely no idea about rock,pop,metal and so many genres which many people like.Hence I did not wanted to write as I would have a bias towards certain musicians which many people would not like.

I also think that I may not be the right person to write on music as I have never learnt music or even played an instrument but have developed "some"  idea about Hindi film music  by listening to a lot of music( around 15 hrs a day sometimes).However I will try to come up with something with whatever little I know about it and also try to learn about it through "Listening "".

My interest in listening  music began as a hobby by listening to songs from the movie "Taal" by the maestro A R Rahman. I was so fascinated with his music that I bought his Tamil music cassettes way back in 1999 and use to listen his Tamil songs even when I never understood a word of it.

Music makes you do anything: It makes you to hear Languages which you never bother to pay attention to,understand tru meaning of  Peace,love,divinity, sacrifice......You can fall in love without actually being in love(Music is the only way or path towards it). Music reduces the cultural, geogrpahical boundaries between people.

Initially I had a huge bias towards AR Rahman's music which is still now but I have also diverted to listeningother Indian composers as well and many other songs.Hence as many of my friends think that I am only going to write on Rahman's music they might be wrong as I will also try to write on other composers and other songs as well.

Last music is a matter of personal choice and preferences and I would try to avoid any differences which often come up.I would also request people to not to make any remarks which hurt the sentiments of other people in case they visit this blog by mistake.......Ha  Ha
