Still I love you Life

 Just  when things start to look positive and we plan things, life throws a spanner in the wheel and the whole world looks Topsy turvey.

At the crossroads when we actually do no know which road to take or what future holds for us, we really look around for answers. Why us again? Whom have we harmed that we keep falling into a deep chasm again and again? At this time we really feel life will never be alright.

Struggles are a part of life but when life is a struggle throughout for a long period of time, it is really difficult to keep the spirits high. How long can we keep ourselves positive? 

However, there is a saying which I always think of When life gives you lemon make lemonade. May be I love lemons a lot that life is giving a lot of sour events in my life. 

But I love to mix sour taste of lemons with the sweet taste of sugar. Along with lemons life has also given me sugar in forms of friends and colleagues who motivate me to fight on. My husband who inspite of all the setbacks in his life still fights on, My parents and my brother, sis in law and my cousins and uncles and aunt who supports me unconditionally My daughter who adjusts so well to all situations and of course my students who constantly inspires me to do my best. My positive attitude is very important for all these people and most important myself because my life is important for me. 

Love you Life whatever you give me. Thorns or roses, Life will go on. 

Ai zindagi gale laga le 

Hamne bhi to tere har ek gham go gale se lagaya he na.



Meri Awaaz hi Pehchaan hai

The voice that gave life to this song has left the earth to join the constellation of musicians and singers who were her colleagues.

Aptly showered the title Nightingale of India, Lata ji has been the unparalleled female voice for Indian heroines

She has sung for heroines ranging from Madhubala to Waheeda Rehman, Sharmila Tagore, Asha Parekh ,Rekha, Hema Nalini to Sridevi, Madhuri and Preity Zinta to Kajol and Aishwarya. List is endless. 

Her range of songs was equally varied from soulful Aayega aanewala, to romantic Lag ja gale to playful Mere khwabon jo aaye to lullabies like Mere ghar aayi. And who can forget the evergreen Ai mere watan ke Logon. Even today that song moves me to tears when I hear it. She has put her heart and soul into that song.  And her bhajans for movies  " Ek tu hi Bharosa" and Oh Palanhare " just to mention a few.

I personally liked her collaboration with Gulzar and Javed Akhtar . That does not mean others were not good. 

Her simple attire and ever smiling face was a treat to watch and  Her songs have given hope ,joy and motivation to people. 

Lata ji , You have touched the hearts of millions of people. Your mortal remains may have been consigned to flames but your songs will live in the hearts of millions of people and keep you alive.

I think heaven needs your wonderful voice . 

REST IN PEACE. You are immortal .
