I was born in an era when Hindi film industry was prospering thanks to its popular music. The meaningful words of the lyricists, the melodious tunes by the music directors, and the songs sung by some of the greatest singers in the Hindi film industry left me spellbound, and singing became my passion. I never had time to formally learn singing, but it has been my favorite hobby. Now, after retirement, I have attempted to sing some of my favorite songs in my own voice. Hope you enjoy.
This song (लहारों पे लहर उल्फत हैं जवाँ) is from the 1960 film Chhabili. It is composed by Snehal Bhatkar(1919 - 2007) and sung by Hemant Kumar. Mr. Bhatkar adopted his name after his youngest daughter, Snehali. He was born as Vasudev Gangaram Bhatkar in a Maharasthrian family. He was a well known singer of Bhajans and he scored music for 19 Hindi movies from 1947 to 1984. The famous actress of Hindi cinema Nutan, got a break as a singer in this movie. I consider this song as one of the most melodious songs composed by Mr. Bhatkar.
