Happy to co exist in the same century when the phenomenal Asha Mangeshkar and then Asha Bhosle shines like the only star that is capable of giving light to so many singers such as myself.
She inspired me to look at sugam Sangeet seriously and to connect to the emotive part and relate to the roots where her songs came from .
I would happily notate the embellishments from her songs that mainly were composed by Shri Sudhir Phadke I.e. Babuji .
Years were 1985/86 onwards. Aai used to sing Rama Raghunandana beautifully. In those days early in the morning Kanadau viththalu impressed me. Later listening to Aapli awad , geet ganga and manchahe geet , bhule bisre geet so many other programs on Doordershan opened doors to the various stylistics and the vast sea of performed songs of Asha mauli for me.
This is the first time I used this word for her. One reason is there are many pictures of her where I find some resemblence between my mother and her .
Anyways so Babujis songs sung by her have been those that made me focus on practise and take them as challenge .
Happy Birthday Asha Mauli from #NandiniPremanandBorkar May Lord Mangirish continue to bless you with happines and good health. Happy turning 92 .
