Asha Bhosle..a Living Legend

On 11th November frm 8am till 11:30am, i spent a good 3.5hrs completely mesmerized by "INDIAN MADDONA IN TENNIS SHOES" tht is........ Asha Bhosle!!!!!!!!!! It was a experience which i cannot express in words. Her interview had aired on the radio and tht day i made sure i was up at 8 am waiting for the legend to come on air.......live.I relly thank RADIO CITY 91 FM......for doing this when i was at home or else i would have missed it.

This beautiful and soulful voice, has helped me finish my most borin submission, helped me go through a bad experinece of chicken pox, has helped me stay awake nights together, has made me laugh, cry, dance and also get nostalgic. I do not remember when had i first heard her voice. But whenever it was , her voice and the emotions in it, have definately grown on me. God, i luv all of her songs.....right frm classics, old film songs, ghazals, marathi songs, classical based ones........and not to forget her very famous cabret [ read it as a combi of asha bhosle and helen........wht a pair!!!! one is a dancing queen and the other signing queen ] .Truly a verastile and a very down-to-earth singer. Team up Asha with Rehman and its a feast for all the music lovers.

There was a very cute question asked by Archana [ RJ who was hostin the show ] .She had just asked Asha Bhosle abt her relation with Helen and the songs she sang for her. And then came the question........

" Ashaji, aapne helenji ke liye itne gane gaye, jin main dance ya cabret hote the.........toh main yeh pochna chahungi ki kya aap bhi dance karti hai ????!!!!!!!!!!! "

The answer was the very cute and very innocent dimpled laugh ...which is Asha Bhosle's trademark....and she politely declined..................But i would say this is not true..............a person would have to be a very gifted dancer if such songs have to be sung...its just not clear to me how come she say tht she does not dance!!!!!!!!!............i, myself do believe tht she is a excellent dancer...................... try and imgaine a person singin "piya tu ab toh aaja" and " dum maro dam " and all those songs without groovin to the beats or the melody....... impossible i say........ :D:D

If there was nething i would ask for then it would be this and only sing...............let me sing !!!!!!

God, i wish i could sing!!!!!!!!!........not like her but atleast a little......... i have come to conclude tht singing is truly a gift u have to be born with...........consider urself extremely lucky and blessed if u have been gifted with the abilty to sing......
i have always wondered how good it would feel to think of musical notes in ones mind and heart and also sing those notes loudly [ exactly the way u have intended them to be ] l
............for urself and others.............
if anyone of u can explain this feeling to me plz do!!!!!! i have never been able to feel it.
