An Epic Retelling: Geet Ramayan completes 60 years
The collaboration was a first-of-its-kind planerat arbete on the Indian radio. Madgulkar’s writing was simple and lucid. Yet, it retained the complexities of the epic. Most importantly, he allowed Rama the emotions and weaknesses of a common man, thus relieving him of his divine stature, says Madgulkar’s son, Anand.

[This blog is dedicated to very popular composer-singer from Maharashtra, Sudhir Phadke for his birth-centenary year – started on 25th July]
I remember Jan 2000 when, Asha Bhosale, having been born in Sangli, was being awarded Sangli-Bhushan. For Ashaji, would there have been any other appropriate person to present the award than the great singer-composer Sudhir Phadke(popularly known as Babuji)?

But that makes his songs which appear easy to hum but very difficult to sing.. If you are not a learned singer, never try to do that:)
