In my school days, our Hindi teachers quite often used to mention about the troika of Hindi poets, Prasad-Pant-Nirala ( Jaishankar Prasad, Sumitranadan Pant and Suryakant Tripathi ‘Nirala’). They were the pioneers of ‘chhaayawadi’ (romanticism) movement in Hindi poetry. At a time when norms for writing Hindi poetry were different, these poets created a niche for themselves and set a new standard for Hindi poetry. About four decades later, a similar troika of poets was continuing the tradition of writing poetry in similar style but for Hindi films. The poetry was written in simple words for the benefit of masses. In doing so, they extended their coverage beyond ‘chhaayawad’ to include social issues, philosophy of life etc. These poets also created a niche for themselves at a time when the Hindi film songs were mostly written in Hindustani ( mix of Hindi and Urdu words). Pandit Bharat Vyas was one among the troika of poets who wrote lyrics for Hindi film songs, the other two being Pandit Narendra Sharma and Kavi Pradeep.

Without detracting one bit from her merit, capability and musico-longevity, I have to admit that I am not a fan of Asha Bhosle in the same manner as I am of Lataji. That said, there are quite a few of Ashaji’s evergreens – some of them lesser known than her racy raunchy numbers – which touch me more or less the same as some of Lataji’s best.
