Very Nice Selection and you made full justice to bring out the feeling of the song. Regards.

[sqhzaidi]

Thanks a lot.

[wasimzeeshan91]

Only Lata could do that........

And Prof Qasim Zaidi Sahib could make it

Re-Happen!

Bravo Prof. Sahib. Great Job.

[sqhzaidi]

Your appreciation has attached greater meaning to my humble attempts. Thanks and and congratulations for setting up a new channel.

[priyalji3]

I'd like to add here that bringing these great pieces back to limelight is a great cause and service you're doing towards the perpetuation of the golden greats, particularly the ones that couldn't get their due recognition at the time

[sqhzaidi]

Thanks!

[priyalji3]

Great song and wonderfully performed! This channel is extremely refreshing to the ear, to the heart and soul.. you keep reviving the rare old gems nestled in the backs of our minds and never disappoint your keen audience in your flawless renditions. Thank you, Professor Zaidi

[sqhzaidi]

Thanks!

[sqhzaidi]

It is a far reaching appreciation, which I wish I could really deserve, but you are so kind. I think my humble presentation serves as a means of reviving these heart touching melodies and re- discuss their attributes. This single advantage is great enough. I feel proud that people of the highest pedestal from the world of music, like you, consider my songs worthy of listening. Thanks.

Maina

[sqhzaidi]

Thanks Maina. Kindly keep in touch.

[jaibharati]

Bahut Khoobsurat ..............

Wonderful.....

Awesome performance Zaidi Sir.

Regards, Bharati

[sqhzaidi]

I am sincerely grateful.

[imareare1949]

One of my favorite song, Quasim Bhai.

Would like to play some day.

Very well performed.

Allow me and accept a set of Five Pairs of Stars.

These are not of Metal ! !

So they will never fail the Quality Control Lab Tests.

These have all the ingredients of Love and affection.

This s one of the most heartwarming comments I have ever seen on YT! Qasim Bhai, save it like the British Queen saves her crown jewels.

[sqhzaidi]

Ramesh bhai, thanks for such a warm comment. All my humble efforts are for friends like you,

Ghalib said,

sikhain hain meh rukhon ke liye hum musawiri

Taqreeb kuch to behar e mulaaqat chahiye

I was failing to post a reply due to some YT glitches.

Look at the way Vipan bhai has appreciated your remarks. I feel really proud.

[chamogaa]

As always, Qasim Bhai, you remain attuned( that's the right word, isn't it in this context?) to all the subtleties of a song. To play all the nuances so smoothly and faithfully to the original with one keyboard, without using any score sheet or any alloy for richness-- there! I used a metallurgist's word-- requires both that aural sensitivity and technical skill. Again you've displayed them both in abundance.

[sqhzaidi]

I am delighted to see your comment. I saw the original song on your favorites list as well. This song has some magic in it.

It is quite a surprise for me that you know metallurgy also. Music should be free from imitation, "milawat or " alloying" as you called it. Goldsmiths add some cheap copper to gold, just like "Jhankar" added to original songs. It is very distasteful, rather disastrous. Thanks Vipan Bhai for your valued first comment.

Regards.

[chamogaa]

That's just a metaphorical use of the term by me, Qasim Bhai. Actually,I don't know the first thing about your expertise. Alloys do cheapen some metals as you point out, but would you say that in other cases they may add to a metal's malleability or strength depending on what is used as an alloy? Ancient Chinese bronzes, mixtures of tin and copper, might be an example. Re-mixes in music are, to be sure, almost always atrocious. You by contrast keep your renditions pure and honest.

[sqhzaidi]

You are absolutely right in covering this important academic aspect of alloying. While gold is preferred in pure form, copper must be alloyed to have more strength. Given a refresher course, I think you can teach metallurgy better than many. Sociocultural aspects, its role from guns in wars to decorative pieces in peace. Eiffel Tower like structures, ornaments, variety of strings, music wires, pianos, brasses etc. employing vibrating and resonating metal components, you may teach better.

[chamogaa]

The Chinese bronze objects I have studied to a limited degree as part of my training in history. Despite oxidization they have remained strong for 3600 years or longer. There ends my " knowledge" of metallurgy, Qasim Bhai.

I bet some readers are quite amused how we veered off into this tangent, but it's fun for me to exchange ideas with you as a professional specialist on this subject. (I gather airplane manufacturers also use all kinds of sophisticated alloys).

[imareare1949]

Reading the rich comments from Vipinji and related reply from Qasim Bhai on the matter of Alloys, metal, Gold, Brass etc etc.

I am looking to their faces holding my ...'potli like a street vendor who does the work of 'Kalai" applying a coat of 'kalai' to the vessels of 'peetal' (brass etc) with no other knowledge of metal or metallurgy.

What can I say?

Nothing, but just: "Kalai kara lo Kalai"

:)

Vipin ji that I am the first to be amused.

[sqhzaidi]

Ramesh bhai, I remember once you came out with good remarks and pieces of information about foundry work like patterns, parting lines, burrs finishing etc. So please do not pose to be ignorant about metallurgy. We know that you are an expert. But before setting out for "Pandey kali kra lao" in your locality, please do listen to my song once more.

[imareare1949]

LOL. Yes I remember. even if I set out for this, I will no doubt keep on listening to your songs and try my songs too.......

regards

[chamogaa]

Rameshji, your reference to the Kali Kara Lo cry gave me a chuckle and sent me right back to my teen years in Roorkee! Some months ago, a viewer from England asked me if I knew when and whence the kali technology came to India. I had no knowledge except to say that technological diffusion has been going on between south Asia and western and central Asia since  at least two thousand years B.C.E.

[sqhzaidi]

Your awareness is enviable. In the age of computers nobody has a monopoly on

knowledge. Known history of bronzes is

about 4000 years. Metallurgy has a role in every sphere of life. In airplanes, use of lighter metals and alloys like aluminum, magnesium and titanium allows weight saving and an equally higher weight carrying capacity to the planes. These days, I am more interested in music than Metallurgy. May be I can design some tunes for airplanes rather than

components. Lol.

[chamogaa]

I hope some discerning PIA official is reading this, Qasim Bhai. Your tunes for it might be infinitely sweeter than any piped music it may be playing in its planes. All airlines used to do that. Now, with music and movie choices and headphones,it's gone. Time to bring it back with your help!

[jasbongy]

Qasim Bhai, U brought me in my chilhood,when as a 7-8 years old i went to see this beautiful film and became sooo impressed by L and V.

Very very beautiful performance. U r doing soo many good Karmas by making us happy with your beautiful performances.

Bless U. With a lots of good wishes. Sarla.

[sqhzaidi]

I am extremely impressed by your promptness. You are a true music lover. How nice to remember the good old days of childhood, when we used to see these films. What a joy and thrill it used to be.

Thanks a lot Sarla ji.
