Lata Mangeshkar – The Legend
www.latamangeshkar.wordpress.com by musician rakshit shah
WELCOME TO THE WORLD OF LATA MANGESHKARJI…
This blog is truly dedicated to honerable shri Lata Ji…
It’s an immanse pleasure for me to put this blog open for public on the 80th birthday of Shri Lata Mangeshkarji…
============================================================================
The placid face. The Mona Lisa-esque half smile. The metronomic motion of jaws working chewing gum — which she imports by the cartonload to keep her throat supple. The crisp white cotton sari.
And above all else, The Melodious Voice…
That’s one & only the great
SHRI LATA MANGESHKARJI
It is a voice that no Indian can miss.
Delightfully high, the notes rendered clearly to the last bar, the words pronounced with a rare panache – the voice has haunted Indians for the over five decades.
The ‘masseuse’ of this all-pervading music and the queen empress of India’s immensely popular light music industry, is a portly, dark, camera-shy, plain-as-jane, woman, Latabai Mangeshkar, who, as a playback singer, enjoys today, a clout, which even the movie moguls of the country’s film industry cannot dream of.
Lata Mangeshkar’s songs have captured the hearts and imagination of millions of her admirers around the world. They have become an inseparable part of the daily lives of Indians – wherever they may be.
Words fail to express the depth and scope of Lata Mangeshkar’s genius. Lata Mangeshkar has come to symbolise India in a way that no one else has, or ever will for years to come.
On her 79th birthday, I would like to show my appreciation for her songs by creating this blog tryly dedicated to this singer whose voice has cheered me up on many a blue evening and made life worth living after all.

Dear lata li
What to write bout u. No words. I wanted 2 b like u since I was 7 or 8 years. My parents tell me that I always cud sing in “SUR”. I used 2 sing ur songs and copy ur voice. I happened 2 b the happiest person when someone commented me on that. U r a legend, a milestone, an institution as everybody says and means.
I adore u a lot.

om anand om,,,,, Mera hriday bahut prem se gad gad ho jata hain jab main adarniya shri lataji ke swar se koi sabad gana bazkar gujarta hain,,, yeh,, koi samanya inssan nahi hain
koi gandhrav lok se aayi hui pavitra atma hain….
Kass !!!!! Mera aisa naseeb hota hi mere bhi sabad unki swarlahariyo main gunj jate !!
main tere hriday ka taar ban ke, saanso ke lay se gujar jauu,
hawa chhu le mooje main bhi is jahan main amar ho jauu,
ab har raste bandh ho gaye mooz garib alfaz ke is jahan main,
tadap to thi patanga bankar bhi main app ke liye jal jauu,
bhigi hain meri palke, intazar main unke geeto ke
khule asman main pyrsi hain nigahe papihe ki jaise,
kass ! main bhi karib hota ,is jindgi main ek din milta,
to bhikar jata main bhi sur banke unke shri charno main,
om tat sat
