I lowered my window and asked him, “ Bhai sahib, ye jo aap ne peechhe kiya, us se aap ek do minute pehle pahunch jaayenge.

Please enjoy my #1 favourite (consistently) amongst tens of thousands of Lata Mangeshkar’s songs (Some of you who do Cost-Benefit analysis of your time spent on the net in general and on my Facebook group Yaad Kiya Dil Ne in particular would say (secretly though): “In this much of description, I would have put all the five, if not ten!” But then, you are you and I am I and I have never been hard pressed for time!) (I remember the time when by hook and crook a driver overtook me in Mumbai traffic and we stopped parallel to each other on the next traffic light. It is another thing that in the movie, she (Nargis) is the daughter of a millionaire and Raj Kapoor the hero is the poor journalist. Lata sang her best songs in that era whence, sadly, women were not considered the equivalent of men and indeed all the heroines for whom she sang were paid much less than their male counterparts. When the pardesi or the balma went away (even if in misunderstanding), they had nothing left with them except yaad. Lata with Jaikishan (on her left) and Hasrat Jaipuri on her right (Pic courtesy: What feelings the songs evoke in me? Well, Lata Mangeshkar’s singing represented the feelings of all the women of that era who were left to pine for their lovers and she did it so well. This one was not penned by Shailendra but by Hasrat Jaipuri.

I saw the movie last year on my computer but if you really ask me I don’t remember the scene in the movie when Nargis lip-syncs this song so strong is my own imagined scene of the song! I happily lived the memories of this song without ever seeing the movie: the 1956 Raj Kapoor movie Chori Chori. Shankar-Jaikishan with Lata Mangeshkar (Pic courtesy: It is therefore no surprise that my Choice #1 of her songs for decades now has been a song composed by S-J in Raag Shuddha Kalyan, Tal Kaherava. She was the favourite of Shankar Jaikishan (and vice-versa) and indeed, the first time that she was credited as a playback singer on screen was in their 1949 movie Barsaat, in a song penned by the great Shailendra. Rasik balma dil kyun lagaaya tose dil kyun lagaaya… Your favourite evokes the kind of emotions within you that others can’t. How are one’s favourites different from hers and anyone else’s? I have explained it several times but here it is again: Your favourite may not have anything to do with the real or acknowledged worth of a singer’s singing prowess.

My list of her top ten favourites has been ready for ages. No one can.Īll one can say is to play and listen to one’s favourite songs. One can even write about the number of awards that she has graciously declined so as to give the other singers a chance.Įverytime you write about her, you discover something new and yet, she is not just a phenomenon but an era, there is no way that you can ever do justice to a write-up on her.


One can write pages and pages about the number of awards that she has won starting with the highest in India: the Bharat Ratna, as well as the highest in Indian cinema: the Dadasaheb Phalke Award. To the younger generation, she is of grand-mother’s and even great-grand-mother’s age. To many of us she is of our mother’s age. Lata Mangeshkar is to us what breathing is to all beings in the universe: she keeps us alive and kicking. What do you say or write about a legend? You just bow your head in respect and of course thank God that you have lived through most of the era when she sang. Childhood photo of Lata Mangeshkar (Pic courtesy: wn.) She was born on this day (28th Sep) in 1929.
