Mumbai/Guwahati, Nov 5 A golden voice of Indian music fell silent Saturday when legendary singer-composer Bhupen Hazarika died of multiple organ failure at a Mumbai hospital, plunging millions of fans across the country, especially those in eastern India, into gloom. He was 85.
Known for his haunting, resounding melodies like “Dil hoom hoom kare” and “Ganga behti ho kyon”, Hazarika, who was on the ventilator for four months and had been in and out of hospital, passed away at 4.37 p.m. at the Kokilaben Hospital.
His long-time companion, filmmaker Kalpana Lajmi, his nephews and some well-wishers from his home state of Assam were at his side when he died.
“His spirit was great, but what to do, his body gave way. It is a very difficult time for all of us. The doctors did a wonderful job,” she said.
Jayanta Saha, media relations incharge of the Mumbai hospital, told IANS that after Hazarika developed pneumonia Oct 23, he underwent a minor surgery whereby doctors placed a food pipe into his system. |

 MUMBAI — Indian musician and composer Jagjit Singh, who won generations of fans by reviving the traditional genre of "ghazal" tunes, died on Monday in Mumbai at the age of 70, hospital officials said.
Singh, dubbed "The Ghazal King", had been in intensive care for three weeks after undergoing surgery when he fell seriously ill with a brain haemorrhage.
Ghazals are a poetic form of singing that originated in the Middle East and spread to India from the 12th century.
They were traditionally reserved for the elite, but Singh popularised the form in the 1970s and 1980s by pioneering a modern ghazal sound and using Western instruments alongside Indian classical ones.
"Unfortunately, he expired this morning," said Mohan Rajan, spokesman for the private Lilavati Hospital in Mumbai.
As well as spreading the appeal of ghazal in India, Singh sang and composed for Bollywood, the Hindi-language film industry.

We at MASTRADIO wish you all a very Subh Durga Pooja. Durga - in Sanskrit, means who is non comprehensible or difficult to reach. In Sanatana Dharma, Durga signifies Shakti which means Power or Energy. It is derived from Sanskrit verb root “shak,” which means “to be able” or “to act”. “This energetic power is witnessed in all the various phenomena of life. It is the nourishing force responsible for the growth of vegetation, animals, human beings, and of the very Earth Herself. It is what is responsible for the kinetic movement of all things. The planets revolve around the sun as a result of the hidden power of Shakti. It is Shakti that makes the winds blow and the oceans churn. Shakti is manifest as the very affective ability of all the forces of nature. She is the heat of fire, the brilliance of the sun, the very life force of all living beings.”1 |
