Songs with a Surprise!

A few months back, I visited my cousin for a wedding. We had a lovely time and delightful memorable moments! All of us were enjoying the pre marriage functions and one day we started playing 'Antakshari'. During the competition, I started singing, 'Main Chali Main Chali', before I could finish those four words, the opposite …

दास्तान- ए – हाल – ए -दिल

It seems, this month I would get more opportunities for theme based song lists. And obviously I find it more interesting! I find the phrase ‘Haal e Dil’ enthralling. It's usually reserved for sad and soulful songs, though sometimes, songs are happy, romantic as well. It's actually nothing but what a person feels on a …

By the Sea Shore

The rough idea of this post was with me for a few months. A few weeks back, one of my friends shared photos of his recent holiday to seaside. Then suddenly, wheels started churning in my mind. “Oh! I have one incomplete song list on this theme”. I worked on it and here I'm! As …

Bharat Vyas – The Prolific Lyricist – I

            (Remembering Bharat Vyas on his 101st Birth anniversary) I was a little disappointed to miss his birth centenary year. But due to confusion regarding his birth date,(I'm thankful to Arun Kumar ji Deshmukh, who confirmed today's date) I cancelled it last month and planned for this month. And I've no regrets! In fact, I'm …

Usha Mangeshkar – II

Today, I will present the duets sung by Usha Mangeshkar with various singers. If we take a look at her songs, in the 70s & 80s, she has sung many trios & even quadruples with Rafi, Kishore Kumar & Lata Mangeshkar or more so with Asha Bhosle. In those songs, anyone hardly gets a separate …
