Mayi Ri-Dastak
Mayi Ri-Dastak Lyrics & Chords
When we hear the master, ever other mortal fades……Well Madan Mohan was the king of melody, the king of ghazals! His song structuring and background music was awesome. In every song, his vast knowledge of Instruments and the melody they create is evident. Some songs are created to be alive till the human civilization thrives. This is one such gem of a song. There are two versions one by Lataji and another by the master himself!
This is an old recording of mine from 2002 when I just started to record my own songs on my P.C. There was no audio blogging in those days! So again I remind you to bear with any mistakes as I cannot correct them on this recording.
Am posting it just for all to enjoy the divinity of Madan Mohan’s music! And it is an awesome Karaoke track too.
Song: Mayi Ri
Film: dastak (1970)
Music: Madan Mohan
Lyrics: Majrooh

Pradipji,
Wow! It’s a real tribute to Late Shri. Madanmohanji. You have sung it beautifully.
All the official recognition always eluded this great Music Director. Madan Mohan got some semblance of recognition when “Dastak” a 1970 movie ( flop at the box office, of course) got recognised by the Government of India, and Madan Mohan was given the award for best music director. It is to be kept in mind that national awards are for movies in all Indian languages, not just Hindi, so in a way, Madan Mohan was recognised as the best music director in 1970, not only in Bollywood, but in the entire Indian movie industry which also includes movie industries of South India and other places……
Once again, thanks a lot for such a treat to our ears!
Cheers,
Adwait Ranade

Pradeep Sir,
I enjoyed the feel you built for the song. You have mentioned that it was an early recording of yours. I really appreciate your talent in mixing, even at such an early stage we all fumble to get things right. But you have rendered and mixed this song superbly. Hats off to you!!!

That was very soothing and intricate singing Pradip. Nothing to say except applaud and enjoy … and thanks for sharing!. No doubt Madan Mohan was a real great and you have sung it superbly with so many delicate intricacies.
If I may, can I share the following links of Lata Ji singing live a whole medley of chronological numbers. Kudos to the person who shared them on youtube and here go the links:

Please do not comment on these links as it will take away the focus here. Just thought it goes well with the period song that Pradip has sung here. A lot to learn from that era in terms of high quality melodies. Cheers.

Pradeep Sir,
I would like to add to that. You should demonstrate, how you record and mix a song. I feel a great difference in recording and quality aspects than other cover versions. We all could learn a thing or two from you :-)
