‘Naina barse rimjhim rimjhim’

what must be the thoughts that Lata didi thinks when she reads the lyrics of a new song for the first time ?

What emotions must pass through her mind ?

How does she conjur up the pain, the longing & the pathos in her sad songs ?

Does she recall some painful memory from her own life ?
Or
does she think of the pain of others ?
Or Both ?

I've often wondered about that .

( i must ask her this Q. some day .............)

It has been my privilege to see a song neatly being written in her slightly rounded, curved beautiful hand writing which looks like a mix between Marathi & Sanskrit syllabals --

Every song , she begins with

" Shree Krishna " .................................

on top of an empty page & then, writes the lyrics herself !

She has also told me that when she reads a poets' hand written song, she understands the words / & / the lyrics better :)

I was fortunate when she told me this & asked me to send her, my poems
in simple , old fashioned "hand -written " way which I did !
&
Didi kindly read them !
&
Ooh i was over joyed to hear that --

Didi always does the right thing &
does not hurt any one . that is how she is !

Even Pt. Hriday Nath Mangeshker ji ( Baal for her & her youngest sibling )
read them & Didi told me that he liked my poems most of which are in pure /or/ chaste Hindi -- & -- showed them to his son Adi Nath & commented that "in this day & age , not many writers use such language"

My young friend who is a " True Latadi BHAKTA " Mr. Deepak Jeswal suggested this etheral Latadi song on his beautifully written BLOG :

‘Naina barse rimjhim rimjhim’ can be used effectively

& I had these thoughts :

” what a lovely number ” ” Rim jhim rimjhim ” —
one can alomst hear the rain drops falling in succession over everything in sight. Sigh !

Didi’s voice has that power to transport inanimate objects come alive with the sheer unearthly power of her soul force the way you describe ------------- " Dilware ke Dera & the intricate carvings hum along with Latadi’s voice " , yes , the Swar is keeping tempo & reverbrating on our heart strings.

I’ve experienced this too — zipping by on rural America’s obscure towns, in our car, or some times in a rented vehicle , i watch the mist laden mountains & valley’s and somehow they seem ALIVE with the songs of Didi.

Rasik Balma ….Dil kyun lagaya tose ….

as if a forlon figure …cries n the entire NATURE ..then,echos her song.

Manzil milne ki aas thee…
ye hum nahee jante the
rasta hee bun gaya tha,
unki aawaz se Manzil meri !

warm regards,
lavanya
