Lyrics : Swanand Kirkire

I don't think I need to say a lot about this song. If you are here on this blog, chances are you have heard this song before (you know it is my kind of music..). Beautiful words, beautiful music, beautiful rendition...

Not sure how this came out to be..Would look forward to your comments..

Teri Aankhon Ke Siva

Movie : Chirag

Lyrics : Majrooh Sultanpuri

Singer : Md. Rafi saab, Lata ji

Music Director : Madan Mohan

One of the best songs ever composed by none other than Madan Mohan ji. Sung by the two greats. I have attempted Lata ji's rendition.

I had tried to record this song a couple of times earlier. This time, I think, it came right. :-)

Tu is tarah se meri zindagi mein..

Movie : Aap to aise na the

Lyrics : Nida Fazli

Singer : Md. Rafi, Manhar Udhas, Hemlata

Music Director : Usha Khanna

This song has been sung by three singers and each rendition has its own beauty. The same song can be made to sound a peppy party number and a very romantic ghazal. Rafi sahib's rendition is the most popular one but I liked Manhar and Hemlata's renditions too.

Aate Jaate

Movie : Maine Pyar Kiya

Lyrics : Dev Kohli

Singer : Lata ji and S.P Balasubramaniam

Music Director : Ram Laxman

This movie definitely captured the imagination of a generation. The very very young, pre-teen me was fascinated by the songs of this movie not knowing at that time that most of the songs were unabashedly inspired. I distinctly remember how my mom and relatives would make me sing Dil Deewana and would have a hearty laugh on the line Yeh Pagla hai. Things people do with kids! I reckon I used to sound a little funny when I would say "pagla".

Coming to Aate Jaate, there is something very very special about this song. Yeah it is one of the inspired ones. But still I am amazed how romantic a simple tune like this sounds. With all due respects, I even prefer Aate jaate over the original "I just called to say". This still is an anthem for all the hearts in love out there. :-) Someday, I would like to sing this for that someone special - andekha, anjana sa koi. ;-)

Not sure how this sounds to you. Go hear the original (?) if it does not make you happy! :-)

"I love you so much it hurts!"

Narayan Hari Om

A very very popular AOL song. This has been sung by so many people, I have heard numerous versions of it and each one rocks! 

Some tunes just stick to you. This is one such for me. I fell in love the first time I heard it. 

This one is not a planned recording. So please bear with it if you find it unable to bear.. :P

Oh Radhey

One of my favorite songs of all time rendered beautifully by Chitra Roy ji. She is one of the finest singers I heard lately. I am hearing her back to back these days.

Do hear Chitra ji's rendition. The album is Nivedan. You can buy it here.

Phoolon ke rang se..

It has been a while since I posted anything here. Now, I will not post the regular details of this song here. You can always google it, right? :-)

I was just humming this the other day. I just thought I will post it..I have not been very consistent with the lyrics (I think that is intentional)..I have not even sung the complete song. So just hear it in that spirit.. :-)

This is one of the most innocent songs. Something stirs deep within. This is close to heart for more reasons than one..I hope you like it.. :-)
