After a marathon singing feat, it’s time for Rajesh Burbure to go into silence. “He has been advised not to talk,” his elated and proud wife Varsha told DNA on Monday. Burbure, on Sunday, sang his way to create a new world record for singing non-stop for 80 long but memorable hours.The Burbures have now applied for a Guinness Book of World Record having sent the recording tapes and other requisite evidence.
He began singing on Thursday, and stopped on Sunday afternoon. “He wanted to make Nagpur proud,” Varsha, also a singer, said at his north-Nagpur home, where phone has not stopped ringing.
Over four days, an ardent Rafi fan, Burbure, 35, sang close to a hundred Hindi songs - of Rafi, Kishor Kumar, Lata Mangeshkar and Mukesh - to erase the name of South Korea’s Kim Su Jok to create a new world record and achieve his dream. He overtook Kim’s record of 76 hours and seven minutes.
At 11am on Thursday, July 22, Burbure began the first song: “dil diya hai jaan bhi denge”, a popular number from film Karma; and when he began “Geet gata hun main, gungunata hun main” around 3 pm on Sunday, a packed auditorium in Inox multiplex in Nagpur’s Indora erupted in a roar: “You got it.”
The packed audiences who had stayed with him through the recitals burst crackers outside the hall to celebrate his world record and cheer him, even as his family stood close to him on the stage.
Clad in a velvety violet shirt and black trouser, Burbure — who runs an orchestra troupe in the orange city to eke a living — was focused on the notes and words, even as he recited one song after the other, drawing claps and applause from the audiences.
Burbure collapsed - momentarily - when he was in the 80th hour of non-stop singing, with his entire family standing alongside him on the stage in support. That’s when he stopped, victorious.
It took Burbure a year’s preparation, his wife said, to attempt the world record. “He would fast; not sleep for four-five days on the trot; sing continuously for hours together, and build stamina, before he attempted to sing non-stop,” she said. “It’s a proud moment for all of us,” she said. His daughter Dhanashri and son Vaibhav, who are also into singing, are excited for their father.
He showed signs of breaking down; his voice choked toward the end, but Burbure continued to sing the songs of his favourite singers, convener of the event Manish Patil said. Two doctors, RG Chandan and Uday Bodhankar, treated him every four hours, he said.
