![]() I may yet get around to doing that for the major ragas music directors of Hindi film industry love – likes of Bhairavi, Yaman, Malkauns, Darbari, Pilu etc. I had first thought of doing a list like ‘My 10 favourite songs in raga XYZ’. I have accepted the commission with some reluctance, being well aware of how little I actually know about it. He bounced it back to me, thanks to some pretensions I have of knowing something about classical music. ![]() ![]() I was trying to motivate AK to do a few lists on songs based on ragas. I am sure there are many more to come from his pen. This curtain raiser showcasing his favourite 10 iconic songs on different ragas is delightful to read not only because of his deep insight but also for his fluent and witty style of writing. I am grateful that he accepted my request to do a guest series of articles on this theme. This was already in my mind, but then I realised Subodh is much better equipped to do it. He once suggested I write on films songs based on classical ragas. ( My friend Subodh Agrawal is a great music lover and a keen follower of my blog.
