My coronary heart is stuffed with sorrow. India’s melody queen, Lata Mangeshkar, isn’t any extra. She was not solely the queen of Indian melody but in addition my sister. She was three years older than me, however I by no means referred to as her Lata didi like the remainder of the world as a result of she at all times seemed about eight years youthful than me. We had a whole lot of good occasions collectively. After all, each time she sang, my coronary heart was filled with absolute happiness. When she fell ailing this time, I despatched her a letter telling her the identical. My spouse and I had pretty evenings along with Lata. We regularly went to her home on Pedder Street and had some nice meals.
I communicate at this time with a hand on my grieving coronary heart. What a beautiful voice our Lataji had. It appeared as if god had poured some honey into her pretty renderings. Nearly each music that she sang grew to become a success. My Radio Hit Parade Geetmala featured so a lot of her songs.

Lata Mangeshkar is the sound of my childhood—of coming again residence to lunch in Guwahati, of evenings within the verandah in Jodhpur, of the fiat in Sarsawa. In between the hiss of an LP and the crackle of the radio and the tangled-up cassettes of my teenagers, her voice was a synonym for songs. Immediately I write them, however she was singing them to me earlier than I even knew the way to spell lyrics.

I wish to thank Lataji for displaying us the trail of studying and worshipping music. She was an establishment of music and her reference to music was exterior. Our youth should be taught from her the way to uphold music in its true kind. Her passing away is a big loss for all of us. My favorite album of hers could be Pakeezah. We have to have a look at what Lataji has sung and for that, we have to be taught and apply music; that’s after we can have a deeper connection.

Lata Mangeshkar was born with a voice that just one in a billion can hope to be blessed with. That’s her biggest power. She might strike sustainable relationships with each manufacturing home and main administrators. She was by no means seen as partisan. She had fallouts with SD Burman and Mohammed Rafi and by no means labored with OP Nayyar, however by and huge, Lata Mangeshkar was a reputation acceptable to all. That may be a tribute to the individual that she is, not simply the singer—humble, extraordinarily onerous working and with a way of gratitude to everybody.
