Collector of old gramophone records Narayanbhai Mulani passed away. He was 91.
His ardor lay in upholding the musical heritage by amassing and safeguarding gramophone records. While this duty primarily fell upon government agencies, it was the zealous individuals who often took the reins, irrespective of their affluence. Fortunately, Narayan Mulani belonged to the former group, and financial challenges never hindered him from pursuing his passion.
Sadly, Shri. Narayanbhai Mulani passed away on October 24, 2023, at his Mumbai residence after battling a prolonged illness. He is survived by his wife, son, daughters, and grandchildren. Although he was a businessman by profession, he was more renowned for his dedication to preserving vintage gramophone records from early Hindi films and classical music. His extensive knowledge and collection remained open to researchers and music enthusiasts.

Dear Reader, I hope this message finds you well. I am writing to share my passion and dedication for my independent endeavors as a broadcast journalist, archivist and literary commentator, and to kindly request your support. As an independent cultural activist, I pour my heart and soul into my passion. It is a deeply personal expression of my thoughts, emotions, and perspectives on the world around me. Through my efforts, I strive to inspire, provoke thought, and evoke emotions in those who experience it.

Financial constraints, limited resources, and the lack of exposure pose significant obstacles that I am determined to overcome. Your support can make a world of difference in my artistic journey.
