Chhaayaageet is a labor of love, a tribute to the maestros of Hindi cinema – the musicians, the poets, the singers, the film makers, the actors and actresses, and countless others who have enriched our lives with the gift of poetry, music and song.
We find their stories inspiring, and we believe they shouldn’t be forgotten. They shouldn’t be somethings that we just read here in an article, or watch there in a video, and then forget about. They should be told, and retold, until every single person who loves the songs and the movies has heard them.
Chhaayaageet has rekindled our passion for music in day to day life, and we hope that it makes us hum, croon, sing or dance more than we do.
This is our humble dream.
We try to find these stories by searching the Internet, by reading books, by doing some research, and we strive to tell them by piecing together information from multiple sources that we come across.
If something needs a correction, please do send us the details at chhaayaageet @ substack dot com.
Chhaayaageet’s artwork is designed by Saee Kanade.
Thanks for reading, and stay tuned… (pun intended!)
