Book Description
Anand Bakshi has imparted lots of valuable insights through his 6000 plus songs for Hindi films. The learnings which we generally get from religious texts like Bhagwat Geeta, are explained by Anand in his songs, in a very poetic & entertaining manner. When we see a garland & marvel at its beauty, we tend to ignore the thread which holds the garland together. Similarly, we love so many songs & humm them frequently without really understanding the meanings in the words. This book tries to tell music lovers all over the world that your love for music will be incomplete, without you understanding the depth in the words, in the beautiful tune. Kaifi Azmi once said that the tune of the song gets composed first & then the phonetically meaningful words are inserted later, by the song writer. It's like the Kabr (where the body of a dead man is buried) is made ready by the music director & now they are searching for the body (lyrics). An Artist of the caliber of Anand Bakshi takes birth once in centuries and we should give them that well deserved love & respect. This book is my humble contribution to Anand Bakshi's legacy & my attempt to generate audience's interest in the wordings of the songs by the master, Anand Bakshi.
