The legendary Singer Lata Mangeshkar, who has sung more that 30000 songs in 36 different languages has not only won millions of hearts and the title of "Nightingale of India", but she has been truly a Bharat Ratna, whose loss has been mourned by fans in India and abroad.
" Ajeeb dastana hai ye" that started when she was merely 5 years old and will never end as her songs will always remain alive even with the generations to come.
Every song of her is a tale of many emotions that people of all ages can relate to. Whether its love or sad songs, religious or patriotic songs, we have listened to them all at some point or the other.
" Ae mere watan ke logon" ho ya phir " luka chuppi bahot hui", we get the true patriotic feelings by the timeless songs sung by her and these have united the country as a whole irrespective of religion or caste.
She has given her soulful voice to some eternal religious songs like "Satyam Shivam Sundaram", " O Paalan Haare", " Ek tu hi Barosa" , " Yashomati Maiya se Bole Nandlala", which serves as the first songs to be performed by kids in schools.
Few of my favorites are:
1. Tera Bina Zindagi Mein
2. Tu Jahan Jahan Chalega
3. Ek Pyar Ka Nahma Hai
4. Kora Kaagaz Tha Ye Maan Mera
5. Rahe Na Rahen Hum
6. Zindagi Ki Na Toote Ladi
7. Do Pal Ruka
8. Naina Barse Rim Jhim
9. Ajeeb Daastan Hain Ye
10. Tukhe Dekha To
and the list is also endless...
"Meri Aawaz hi pehchan hai"
This "Queen of Melody" has been blessed by Saraswati Maa and has been an idol to all artists. Co-incidently today she bids farewell accompanying Maa Saraswati on her Visarjan.
This was my small tribute to the timeless human that will always rule our hearts through her voice forever.
