दुनिया कहती मुझको पागल,
मैं कहता दुनिया को पागल

What set Kishore Da apart from his fellow artists was his well-known streak of madness. To many producers, directors, and co-actors, he was a “certified madman.”

A man is truly mad when he does not know he is mad. But when he knows it, and can use that madness as a weapon or a wall, he becomes a genius. Kishore Da was that kind of genius... The Genius in Madness. @swanandkirkire @varungrover @PuneetVuneet

For a selfish and materialistic world, his madness was a shield, one he used masterfully both on screen and off. One is reminded of Ghalib’s lines:

बाज़ीचा ऐ अत्फ़ाल है दुनिया मेरे आगे
होता है शबोरोज़ तमाशा मेरे आगे

On set, in a music recording, or in his films, he wore the mask of madness. Living in the same world, yet apart from it. When needed, the mask came forward. A true free-spirited artist.

A beautiful example of this awareness in his madness is found in the hit nonsensical song “Shing Nei Tobu Naam Tar Shingho” from the film Lukochuri.

The story: Singer Shankar (Kishore-1) wants to be a good singer but refuses to compromise with the flashy demands of producers, so he quits. When Kumar (Kishore-2) learns this, he impersonates Kishore-1 and goes to the producers, delivering a wild, nonsensical performance they absolutely love.

As Kishore leaves the studio after this riotous act, he notices a portrait of Rabindranath Tagore. He says to Tagore:
“Even though I was born in your land, in these times I have to do such compromise in the name of music. Please forgive me.”

Kishore Da, there can never be another like you.

The one and only Kishore.
Never after, never before.

Happy Birthday, Kishore Da! May the fun, mischief, madness, and music never stop, wherever you are.

The greatest ever composer who understood music was not about the Self . He was the face of the team, rather Humanity

Meeting Pancham

This heartwarming story was shared by my dear friend, singer Udbhav Ojha, a lifelong admirer of R.D. Burman.

Ever since his childhood, Udbhav had been a devoted fan of Pancham da. When he moved to Mumbai in the early 1990s, his biggest dream was to sing for the maestro. Driven by that dream, he would go every day to Panchamda’s house and stand outside, hoping for a glimpse of him, perhaps even a chance meeting. This continued for a month.

The guard never let him in.. So he would just stand for hours, watching the house, watching #Panchamda step out and return.

One day, however, two policemen picked him up and took him to the nearby police station. There had been a theft at Panchamda’s house, and Udbhav’s repeated presence had raised suspicion. The watchman and a servant had reported him as a possible suspect.

A Marathi inspector questioned Udbhav, suspecting his motive. At that time still in his late teens, Udbhav broke down and began to cry. Something moved the inspector, who realized this boy wasn't a thief.

Udbhav told him, he came to Mumbai to become a singer . The inspector then asked him to hum a few songs. After hearing him, the inspector released him.

Shaken and disheartened, not just by the accusation but by the feeling that even Panchamda might have misunderstood him, Udbhav considered leaving Mumbai. Still, something pulled him back to the same lane one last time.

And there, the watchman recognized him. “Panchamda wants to see you!” he told with some excitement. Someone had briefed Panchamda about the incident, and he now realized a struggling young singer had been falsely accused.

Udbhav was invited in. He finally met Pancham da, spent time with his entire team, and Panchamda listened the entire kissa, asked Udbhav to sing and even asked to play sitar. Panchamda smiled and said, “You’re still very young to be a singer, but keep visiting and feel free to come here.”

Over the next year or so, Udbhav remained closely associated with Panchamda in various capacities. He even became a dubbing singer for a few tracks. One of the songs he dubbed was the beautiful “Hum na samjhe the baat itni si” - Destiny You Know.. [Later Udbhav became lead singer in Mohabbatein for Jatin Lalit]

Recently, Udbhav recorded a tribute song for our Chaupaal, in remembrance of Kishore, Pancham for Gulzar saab's 90th Bday , a heartfelt tribute to the legends who inspired his journey.

Such a beautiful story, showcasing the human side of Pancham da - recounting as we are discussing the opportunities missed to see him..
