Manjari has struck a chord with audiences thanks to her soulful, pliable voice. Of late, the young singer, a post-graduate in music from the Government College for Women, Thiruvananthapuram, who has given us hit playback numbers of the scale of âChinni Chinniâ (Urumi) and âPahi Paramporuleâ (Vadakkumnathan), has been on a drive to promote and create awareness about Hindustani classical music and ghazals among audiences in Kerala. Both genres of music, she says, are close to her heart. As such she has been giving concerts on the same, winning over audiences with her perfect diction. She presented the show âKhayalâ, a popular musical dialogue on ghazals, raags and ragas, on MediaOne channel. Here Manjari talks about her journey in Hindustani music.

Taking to Hindustani music
I grew up in Muscat, Oman, where I started learning Carnatic classical music when I was five or so, mainly because my mother, Latha P.M., was keen that I learn music. I gradually grew more and more interested in Hindustani classical. To take part in singing contests, I started learning Hindustani light music and semi-classical music from Ramkrishnan, a music teacher of Rajasthani origin. Then, when I was 14 or so I started learning Hindustani classical from Ustad Khalid Anvar Jan, a renowned musician from Lahore, Pakistan. He has been my guiding force ever since. He gave me the confidence to sing and gave me a focus. My guru is a big fan of Roshanara Begum and we follow the Kirana gharana. Right now, I am learning from Mumbai-based Pandit Ramesh Jule, also of the Kirana gharana. Hindustani classical music nurtures your voice. Besides, I feel, it also gives more opportunities for improvisation.

2) HOSH WALON KHO KHABAR KYA
Hoshwaalon ko khabar kya bekhudii kya chiiz hai
People who are in their senses dont know what is it to lose their senses
(Ishq kiiji'e phir samjhi'e)2 zindagii kya chiiz hai
Once you love someone, then you will know what life is all about
(Unse nazare kya mili roshan fizaa'en ho ga'iin)2
Eversince my eyes met hers, the vista has become more colorful
(Aaj jaana pyaar kii jaaduugarii kya chiiz hai)2
Now I know the magic of love
(Ishq kiiji'e phir samjhi'e)2 zindagii kya chiiz hai
Once you love someone, then you will know what life is all about
(Khultii zulfon ne sikhaa'ii mausamon ko shaayari)2
Even the unwordly people learnt to say poetry, looking at her hair undone
(Jhuktii aankhon ne bataaya maikashii kya chiiz hai)2
The downcast eyes define the meaning of intoxication
(Ishq kiiji'e phir samjhi'e)2 zindagii kya chiiz hai
Once you love someone, then you will know what life is all about
(Ham labon se kah na paa'e unse haal-e-dil kabhii)2
I was not able to bring to my lips the secrets of my heart
(Aur voh samjhe nahiin yeh khaamoshii kya chiiz hai)2
And she never understood what my quietness was hiding
(Ishq kiiji'e phir samjhi'e)2 zindagii kya chiiz hai
Once you love someone, then you will know what life is all about

Right diction
I took the initiative to get the diction right. Just because you happen to be a Malayali, it does not mean you cannot get your diction right. There is nothing you cannot do if you really set your mind to it. Growing up in a multicultural environment in Muscat, I always had a flair for languages as I had many friends who were native speakers of Punjabi, Hindi, Urdu, Tamil and so on. I also learnt Arabic in school. So I was familiar with various languages. Besides, my guru used to speak in Urdu and I used to train myself by replying to him in the language. You have to be in constant touch with the language, if you want to sing Hindustani classical or ghazals.

3) HOTHON SE CHULO TUM MERA GEET AMAR KAR DO
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HXNkN5h-PhQ
(Honthon se chhuulo tum meraa giit amar kar do)2
Touch my song with your lips and make it last forever
Ban jaao miit mere merii priit amar kar do
Please become my lover, and make my love everlasting
Honthon se chhuulo tum meraa giit amar kar do
Touch my song with your lips and make it last forever
(Na umar kii seemaa ho na janam kaa ho bandhan)2
Let us not be limited by either by life or death
Jab pyaar kare koii to dekhe keval man
When one loves someone, one only sees their heart
(Naii riit chalaakar tum ye riit amar kara do)2
By starting this new tradition, make this it everlasting
(Jag ne chinaa mujhse mujhe jo bhii laga pyaraa)2
Whom so ever I loved, this world snatched away from me
Sab jiita kiye mujhse main har dam hi haaraa
Everytime the world won and I always lost
Tum haar ke dil apanaa merii jiit amar kar do
By losing your heart to me, make my win everlasting
Honthon se chhuulo tum meraa giit amar kar do
Touch my song with your lips and make it last forever
Ban jaao miit mere merii priit amar kar do
Please become my lover, and make my love everlasting
(Akaash ka sunaapan mere tanahaa man mein)2
The lonliness of the sky is akin to the lonliness of my heart
Paayal chhanakaati tum ajaao jiivan mein
Please come into my life filling this lonliness by the sounds
of the bells on your anklets
Saansen dekar apanii sangiit amar kar do
By giving my breath to my song, make my melody everlasting
Honthon se chhuulo tum meraa giit amar kar do
Touch my song with your lips and make it last forever
Ban jaao miit mere merii priit amar kar do
Please become my lover, and make my love everlasting

On juggling various genres
I think I am able to concentrate on playback singing, Hindustani classical and ghazal, equally because they are all so different from each other. Hindustani classical has it own mood. When I have to present a classical concert, I usually spend four to five days prior to the concert getting into the mood. Playback singing is by far the easiest because you are only giving your voice to someone elseâs creativity.
I feel that a singer is complete only when he/she gets to do something creative. Ghazal, which is close to classical music, offers a lot of scope for improvisation. There is no necessity that you have to follow someone elseâs tune. It is the lyrics, the emotion layered in them that are important. There is a lot of spirituality in ghazals too and because of that it is very satisfying for a singer.

NB There are so many verses to this Ghazal, artistes sometimes sings two and three the most, the other verses are viz:
Be rukhi kay saat sunanaa dard-e-dil ki daastaan
With your face averted, you would listen to the tales of my heartache
Wo kalaai me teran kangan ghumaana yaad hai
I remember how you would twirl your bangles around your wrist
Ham ko ab tak aashiqii kaa vo zamaanaa yaad hai
Chupake chupake raat din aansuu bahanaa yaad hai
Waqt-e-rukhsat alvida ka lafz kehnay ke liyay
When it was time to say goodbye
Vo tere sukhay labo ka Thar-tharana yaad hain
I remember how your parched lips would quiver
Ham ko ab tak aashiqii kaa vo zamaanaa yaad hai
Chupake chupake raat din aansuu bahanaa yaad hai
Baahazaaraan iztiraab-o-sad-hazaaraan ishtiyaaq
with a thousand anxieties, and a hundred thousand desires
Tujhase vo pahale pahal dil kaa lagaanaa yaad hai
I remember how I first lost my heart to you
Ham ko ab tak aashiqii kaa vo zamaanaa yaad hai
Chupake chupake raat din aansuu bahanaa yaad hai
Jaan kar sotaa tujhe vo qasa-e-paabosii meraa
I would knowingly rub your feet in worship
Aur teraa Thukaraa ke sar vo muskuraanaa yaad hai
I remember how you would toss your head and smile at me
Ham ko ab tak aashiqii kaa vo zamaanaa yaad hai
Chupake chupake raat din aansuu bahanaa yaad hai
Jab sivaa mere tumhaaraa koii diivaanaa na thaa
when you had no other suitor but me,
Sach kaho kyaa tum ko bhii vo kaarKhaanaa yaad hai
Tell me truly, do you remember such a time?
Ham ko ab tak aashiqii kaa vo zamaanaa yaad hai
Chupake chupake raat din aansuu bahanaa yaad hai
Ghair kii nazaron se bachakar sab kii marzii ke Khilaaf
Hiding from other's eyes, and against their wishes
Vo teraa chorii chhipe raaton ko aanaa yaad hai
I remember you would secretly come to me at night
Ham ko ab tak aashiqii kaa vo zamaanaa yaad hai
Chupake chupake raat din aansuu bahanaa yaad hai
Dekhanaa mujhako jo bargashtaa to sau sau naaz se
when you saw me turned against you, with much gentleness....
Jab manaa lenaa to phir khud ruuth jaanaa yaad hai
you would cajole me, then you yourself would become cool toward me
Ham ko ab tak aashiqii kaa vo zamaanaa yaad hai
Chupake chupake raat din aansuu bahanaa yaad hai
Chori chori ham se tum aa kar mile the jis jagah
That place where where I came to meet you secretly
Muddatein guzariin par ab tak wo thikaanaa yaad hai
I remember it still, though many years have passed
5) YUN SAJA CHAND KE CHALTA TERE ANDAZ KE RANG
(Yuun saja chaand)2 ke jhalaka tere andaaz ka rang
Such was the light of the moon, the color of your style sparkled
Yuun faza mahaki ke badala mere hamaraaz ka rang
The fragrance of the bloom spread, and my lover's color changed
Yuun saja chaand ke jhalaka tere andaaz ka rang
Such was the light of the moon, the color of your style sparkled
Yuun faza mahaki ke badala mere hamaraaz ka rang
The fragrance of the bloom spread, and my lover's color changed
Yuun saja chaand ke jhalaka tere andaaz ka rang
Such was the light of the moon, the color of your style sparkled
(Saayaa-e-chashm mein hairaan rukh-e-roshan ka jamaal)2
Under the eyes, the beauty of the blushing cheeks
Surkhi-e-lab mein pareshaan teri aawaaz ka rang
In the redness of your lips quivered the color of your voice
Yuun faza mahaki ke badala mere hamaraaz ka rang
The fragrance of the bloom spread, and my lover's color changed
Yuun saja chaand ke jhalaka tere andaaz ka rang
Such was the light of the moon, the color of your style sparkled
(Be-piye huun ke agar lutf karo aakhir-e-shab)2
I have not drunk, but if it pleases you, at the end of the night
Shishaa-e-mai mein dhale subah ke aaghaaz ka rang
Let the color of the dawn blend in the goblet of wine
Yuun faza mahaki ke badala mere hamaraaz ka rang
The fragrance of the bloom spread, and my lover's color changed
Yuun saja chaand ke jhalaka tere andaaz ka rang
Such was the light of the moon, the color of your style sparkled
(Chang-o-nerang pe the apne lahoo ke dum se)2
We were in rapture with the song in our hearts
Dil ne lay badli to madhaam hua har saaz ka rang
When the heart changed its beat, all the instruments got muted
Yuun faza mahaki ke badala mere hamaraaz ka rang
The fragrance of the bloom spread, and my lover's color changed
Yuun saja chaand ke jhalaka tere andaaz ka rang
Such was the light of the moon, the color of your style sparkled
Yuun faza mahaki ke badala mere hamaraaz ka rang
The fragrance of the bloom spread, and my lover's color changed
Yuun saja chaand ke jhalaka tere andaaz ka rang
Such was the light of the moon, the color of your style sparkled
[Ending verse in Faiz' original poem]
Ek sukhan aur ke phir rang-e-takallum tera
(I), a poet, and your way of speaking
Harf-e-sadah ko inayat kare aejaaz ka rang
It lends magic to even the simplest of sounds

Those shy eyes are brimming with love
Jinse mila mere dil ko chain

No one knows why they are so shy of me
Kaise mujhe tadpaaye)2

Pyaar bhare do sharmile nain

Tu hi sune aur main gaata jaaoon
You are my only audience and I keep on singing
Tu jo rahe saath mere
If you remain with me always
Duniya ko thuk raaoon tera dil behlaaoon
I will ignore the world and concentrate on keeping you happy
Pyaar bhare do sharmile nain
Those shy are eyes brimming with love
Dar hai mujhe tujh se bichar na jaaoon
I am scared that I may be seperated from you
Kho ke tujhe milne ki raah na paaoon
What if I lose you and unable to find my way back to you?
Aisa na ho jab bhi tera naam labon par laaoon
Oh, I hope it does not happen that whenever your name comes to my lips
main aansoo ban jaaoon
It results into tears
Pyaar bhare do sharmile nain
Those shy eyes are brimming with love
Jinse mila mere dil ko chain
The one that restores my heart's peace
Koi jaane na kyoon mujh se sharmaaye
No one knows why she is so shy of me
Kaise mujhe tadpaaye
and make me restless(for a lack of better word)
Pyaar bhare do sharmile nain
Those shy eyes are brimming with love

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MBe2L2fN5OY
Ye daulat bhi le lo, ye shohrat bhi le lo
Take all this wealth and fame
Bhale cheen lo mujhse meri jawaani
You may even take my youth too
Magar mujhko lauta do bachchpan ka saawan
But please, let me keep my childhood memories
Wo kaagaz ki kasthi wo baarish ka paani
The boat made of paper and that water from the rain
Mohalle ki sabse nishaani purani
The oldest relic of the community
Wo burhiya jise bachche kehte the naani
The old lady, whom all called Naani (Grandmother)
Wo naani kee baaton mein pariyon ka dera
That Naani's stories was about the fairies
Wo chehre ke Jhuriyon mein sadiyon ka phera
One could see her sufferings from the wrinkles on her face
Bhulaaye nahin bhool saqta hai koi
How can anyone forget
Wo choti see raaten wo lambi kahaani
The short nights and long stories
(Concept: time passes fast when having fun)
Kari dhoop mein apne ghar se nikalna
In the hot afternoon, stealing out from the home
Wo chiriya wo bulbul wo thithli pakarna
and trying to catch the birds and butterflies
Wo guriya ki shaadi pe larna jhagarna
Those little squirmishes on a doll's wedding
Wo jhoolon se girna, wo gir ke sambhalna
Falling from the swing, and then getting up again
Wo pithal ke challon ke pyaare se tho'fe
Those beautiful presents of brass rings
(Wo tuti hui chudiyoy ki nishaani)3
That Momento of broken glass bangles
Kabhi re't ke oonche tilon pe jaana
Climbing the sand hillocks
Gharonde banana, banaake mitaana
Making sand castles then destroying them
Wo maasoom chaahat ki tasveer apni
That is the "Innocence of Childhood"
Wo khwabon khilono ki jaageer apni
That personal estate of dreams and toys
Na duniya ka gham tha na rishton ke bandhan
Has no worries of the worlds nor bound by relationships
(Bari khoobsoorat thi wo zindgaani)3
That life was so much beautiful

NB: Ranjana's Note:
KAAGAZ KI KASTHI- HAS A SIGNIFICANCE- IN THE MONSOON WHEN IT RAINS- MOST KIDS, ESP IN THE VILLAGES WILL MAKE BOATS FROM PAPER AND FLOAT THEM IN PUDDLES OR IN FLOWING WATER, IT IS TIME OF FRIVIOLITY AND EXCITEMENT.
THE POET IS CELEBRATING THE INNOCENCE OF THE CHILDHOOD.... TIMES OF SIMPLE PLEASURES LIKE CELEBRATING A DOLLS WEDDING, LISTENING TO STORIES , FLOATING A PAPER BOAT....

Tas
In Urdu, "aawaragi" has many meanings - immorality, dissoluteness, irresponsibility, wantonness, etc. But the meaning (not commonly taken) of loneliness, the painful loneliness of a person that does not want to conform, a free spirit, who has been dismissed by the world as a madman, probably best fits the thoughts in this ghazal. His once-spirited heart has withered away by the rejection, the light has gone out. He vows that he cannot live in a world where non-conformity is a sin, and discovers that his only true companion is his loneliness. "How beautiful!"

Mujhe Maangta Koi Aur Hai
I am the destiny of someone,
but I am demanded by someone else
Ajab Aitbaar-o-Be Aitbaari
Ke Darmiyan Hai Zindagi
My life is hanging in the
balance of belief and disbelief
Main Qareeb Hoon Kisi Aur Ke
Mujhe Jaanta Koi Aur Hai
I am close to someone, but
I am well known to someone else
Wohi Munsifon Ki Rivaayatain
Wohi Faislon Ki Eibaaratain
The same old traditions of judges
the same wrong decisions of the court
Mera Jurm Tou Koi Aur Tha
Par Meri Saza Koi Aur Hai
My crime was something different,
but my punishment was for something else
Main Khayaal Hoon Kisi Aur Ka
Mujhe Sochta Koi Aur Hai
I am somebody elseâs thought,
but someone else thinks about me

Hamari saanson mein aaj tak woh
Heena ki khushbhoo mehak rahi hai
In my breath, the scent of
henna is still lingering today
Labon pe naghme machal rahe hain
On my lips, songs are dancing,
Nazar se masti jhalak rahi hai
In my looks, mischief is twinkling
Hamari saanson mein aaj tak woh
Heena ki khushbhoo mehak rahi hai
In my breath, the scent of
henna is still lingering today
Woh mere nazdeek aate aate
Hayaa se ek din simat gaye they
Inching, inching, towards me,
He shly gathered himself
Mere khayalo-n mein aaj tak woh
Till today, in my thoughts
Badan ki daali latak rahi hai
His body's youthfulness is swaying
Sadaa jo dil se nikal rahi hai
Woh sheronaghmon mein dhal rahi hai
This cry that coming from my heart
Finds its way in verses and songs
Ke dil ke aangan mein jaise
As if in the lap of my heart,
Koi ghazal ki dhaandhar khanak rahi hai
The beat of a poem is throbbing
Tadap mere bekharar dil ki
Kabhi To un-pay asar karey-gi
My restless heart's tremor
Will surely affect him one day
Kabhi to woh bhi jalengay isme
Some day, he too will burn
Jo aag dil main dahek rahi hai
In the fire that in my heart is smouldering
Hamari saanson mein aaj tak woh
Heena ki khushbhoo mehak rahi hai
In my breath, the scent of
henna is still lingering today
Labon pe naghme machal rahe hain
On my lips, songs are dancing,
Nazar se masti jhalak rahi hai
In my looks, mischief is twinkling
