Happy New Year to all the friends
I wrote and composed this song in 1995. First person for singer came to my mind was Asha Bhosle. When I came to India in 1996, I called Ashaji. She was nice enough to answer my call twice. She was extremely busy at the time internationally. So she wished me luck, but could not sing.
Jyotsna Hardicar is a great singer who tried this song, and sang it amazingly well. She is a playback singer for many Marathi films, as well as regular singer for Door Darshan. She has close relationship wit Lata Mangeshkar. Due to Lataji’s busy schedule, Joytsna sang demo songs for Lataji, so she can save some time.
I don’t think anyone else except Ashaji could sing this song as Jyotsna has sung.
First I thought of making it a fast song. You must have heard a demo of that on my website in past. But I thought Lyrical style would fit the song the best. .Later I created fast instrumental dance version. You can hear both the versions on this post.

Hi friends,
I am happy to let you know that the snake charmer’s music I played on my keyboard has now 100,000 (1 lakh) hits. Besides that there are lot of hits on my website. I lost my stats when I changed the server, but I know they are lot. Thank you for your recognition.
When I first found out that the original Nagin film music was not actually played on snake charmer’s flute (known as Been or Pungi in India), I was surprised. It was played on Clay Violin. Clay Violin was the first keyboard instrument that could copy 5-6 acoustical instruments including snake charmer’s flute Kalyanji played the keyboard. To enrich the mufti-frequency sound, Laxmikant played Harmonium along with it. And that created historical Man Dole snake charmer’s music, that became immortal.
My keyboard had one sound that resembled the snake charmer’s flute. I moified that to suite my taste on computer synthesizer. This is a mufti-frequency sound (like accordion) that snake charmer’s flute create.
Another type of Been is a single frequency sound (like Soprano Sax) that my keyboard did not have, which I programmed myself.
I have used both the instruments in my arrangement.
As you know, good music does not happen by just pressing keyboard keys. The artist’s ability to create right emotions is very important. That is why some instrumentalist get better name than others.
I hope my ability to create right impression from the instrument has made a difference.
,For better listening experience, use headphones or good quality speakers
After Beatles pop music revolution and associated hippie social revolution, this film was made by prominent film maker, actor and director Dev Anand. It was based on Indian origin Brit girl’s hippie lifestyle. It also introduced western Pop Music Fusion in Indian film. Composer R.D. Burman has done great job on this song. As usual I have arranged entire orchestra on my synthesizer, and played all the instrument and rhythm.

The First Thanksgiving. Image: Web
Thanksgiving is a religious holiday celebrated in America. It is more like a social holiday, when traditionally family members get together and have a turkey dinner.
Most population in the word in many countries is made up of natives and of people migrated from other countries. Some people left their homelands to find a better standard of living, or to escape from religious or other type of discrimination. They were either welcome by the natives, or they forcefully occupied the land from natives, or combination of both.
Aryans, Muslims from Iran and Arabian countries, Parsi’s from Iran etc migrated to India over many centuries. In the same manner, Europeans migrated to America, Australia, New Zealand, South Africa etc
Some native Americans, also called Indians of Americas, welcomed some Europeans who had just arrived in ships, and had no place to sleep, and no food to eat. In 1621, a boat, Mayflower, full of immigrant settlers came ashore north-east USA, now called Rhode Island, or New England area. The settlers, also referred as pilgrims, were greeted by native Indians and gave them a feast of Turkey and corn Turkey is a large bird similar to chicken.
Thanksgiving is also the day [comes on the fourth Thursday of November] when Christmas holidays begin in United States and Canada.

| This original Goomar folk song from Rajasthan is recreated by composer Sanjay Leela Bhansali very beautifully in film Rani Padmavati. Both singers, Swaroop Khan and Shreya Ghoshal have done wonderful job.
I like folk music from all the parts, but obviously Gujarati folk music is my favorite. Rajasthan folk music is second. Gujarat and Rajasthan share same boarder, so some folk music is also similar.

Vautha is situated in Gujarat near city Dholka. It is where 7 small rivers meet, making it a holy place according to Hindus called ‘Sangam’ On the full-moon day and night, and some days around that, a large fair takes place in the open sands of the rivers.
While farmers barely have luxury of a vacation, this is a perfect vacation place and time. The fair is not too far from my birthplace ‘Dethali’, a small village. Beginning from age 4, I remember visiting the fair many times. What an excitement for children. And of course for young adults. At 4.00 am, a convoy of open bull wagons would take of for 4-5 hours journey. We kids, shivering in cold, and enjoying every moment of it, wrapped up in blankets. Most would sleep on the bull wagons, or on sand. Some of us (influential ) lucky ones could sleep in tent-restaurants or in a tent of a district management office. Though I do remember spending nights in a 2′ wide bull wagon once.
The merry-go-rounds, the sweets and Bhajiys for junk food, young men and women (most of them married) carefully glancing at other young people, kids playing sports and playing with their toys like Paper-Goggles.
When I wrote and composed thee song ‘Pori Pai de Tu’ for album AasopalavNi Dale, these images of Vautha fair came rushing to me. So you have mention of the VauthaNa MelaMan Dhabke Dhabak Orta (Heartbeats of dream in Vautha Fair.)
Pora Pai De Tu

Pora paide tu preetni pyali, ke marun jobaniyun jaay saav khaali
Pori paide tu roopni pyali, ke maarun jobaniyun jaay saava khaali,
Vauthana melaaman dhabake dhabak orta, ankhdina sodagar dalladan ne chorta
Mane lai ja mele tu haath zali, ke marun jobaniyun jaay saav khaali
Pori paide tu roopni pyali, ke maarun jobaniyun jaay saava khaali,
Kalbalta tahukaman kaidto ujagaro, zamake maari zanzari ne ghamake maro ghagharo
Hun to ghunghatne kholine chaali, ke maarun jobaniyun jaay saava khaali
Pora paide tu preetni pyali, ke marun jobaniyun jaay saav khaali
