Nasirbhai,
ReplyDeleteI have thoroughly enjoyed reading your articles on Mohd Rafi, your work has now put a different light on the life and times of the Legendary Master.
As a fan of Rafisaab, you will not be able to observe the joy in my heart in reading these articles, god you were so thoroughly to the point in differentiating the different decades, and its happening....Nasir bhai there is enough articles you have uncover to put into book form.
It would have been my utmost desire to see you describle his last days in the month of Ramadan.
May God bless you, for imparting so much knowledge to all Rafi Fans
Some Years ago I myself did a feature on Mohd Rafi, I am currently in the process of doing Part 2 and I will beg to use some of your information provided so that my community will have a better understanding of The Legendary Master.

Dear Abdool,
ReplyDeleteI am glad that my article on the Great Legendary Rafi Sahaab could attract your interest and give you pure joy. This is just my way of paying tribute to the Legend. Speaking of which the translations of his songs are also a way of doing that.
Go ahead and use whatever you want from these posts for this is the way of spreading Pax Rafiana, or Rafi Culture, in my opinion.
I've not touched upon other aspects of his life because they form a topic by itself.
Nasir.
