Hullo Atuldom
Unbelievable!!!! It is already one year. I don’t know if it is coincidence or the creator thought it was the best date to recall his beloved creation.
Basant Panchami, celebrated as Saraswathi Pooja in many parts of India, marks the preparation for the arrival of Spring. Everything everywhere is dressed in the colours of Yellow- the flowers of the mustard crop a colour associated with Mata Saraswathi. People dress in yellow dresses, make delicacies that are yellow in colour etc. Many families mark this day by sitting with babies and young children, encouraging their children to write their first words with their fingers, and some study or create music together.
And what happened last year- on Basant Panchami 2022 ? India’s ‘Swar Kokila’ ‘Nightingale’ (and all the epithets that we have used to describe Lata Didi) bid goodbye to this mortal world. The news was broken to the world on the morning of 6th February that her illness took a turn for the worse on 5th and the end came in the early hours of 6th.
She was the voice that generations woke up to. Her’s was the voice that was soothing to listeners. Her songs were the inspiration for generations that followed to try singing- classical, semi-classical, devotional, light-hearted etc. Her career spanned from 1942 to 2015 (when she was last heard in a Hindi film). She is said to have recorded in 36 languages – Indian & a few foreign put together. Her last recorded song was “Saugandh mujhe iss mitti ki” was released on March 30, 2019 as a tribute to the Indian Armed forces and the Nation.
She was conferred the Bharat Ratna in 2001 by the Government of India; the other singer who was conferred the Bharat Ratna was M.S. Subbulakshmi in 1998. Lata Didi was also a Dadasaheb Award winner along with numerous other awards.
But, of course, whatever I have written till now is all public knowledge.
She had reduced assignments in films after 2000. Atulji’s series “Yearwise review of Lata Mangeshkar HF songs” had 63 episodes and we have a near complete list of her work in Hindi films, with statistics of her association with the music directors, lyricists through her career. This was the last post in the series. I have taken help from the list that Atulji has provided in the series to decide on a song with this post.
“Page 3” (2005) was a film produced by Bobby Pushkarna & Kavita Pushkarna and was directed by Madhur Bhandarkar. It had a cast of semi-realistic movie-specialists:- Atul Kulkarni, Konkona Sen Sharma, Sandhya Mridul, Soni Razdan, Tara Sharma, Suchitra Pillai etc. Plus there was Boman Irani, Anju Mahendroo, Kunika, Navni Parihar, etc in the cast. It was a take on the interactions between ‘Page3’ celebrities and media. How the so-called ‘High Society’ beings behaved with each other and loyalties changed with the coming & going of people’s fortunes. How money & sponsors controlled what appeared as headlines.
One dialogue by the drivers of these celebs has stayed with me “why do people wear dark sunglasses when they come for condolences?’ Another driver replies “to coverup blood shot and hangover- laden eyes” (This is not verbatim, but gist of the conversation).
The movie had a song which almost gave the plot of the movie in its lyrics. The song was written by Sandeep Nath & Ajay Jhingran. Shamir Tandon was the music director. That song was sung by Lata Mangeshkar.
Thinking of Lata Didi with this song.

kitne ajeeb rishte hain yahaan pe
do pal milte hain
