England

Looking forward
To a cool and
Pleasant summer?

Don't stay
In the south.

Come up north.

You'll savour a
Soothing summer.



(I wrote this after seeing that the whole of England is going thru a heatwave except the North-East where we live.)

Stay

Stay away

From obnoxious

People, they don't

Know how to live in

Peace.....and they'll

Ensure you lose your

Peace.

Kishore

Morning,
Evening
And night
Kishore comes
Crooning into my
Ears, even though
He's out of sight.

With a song for
Every mood and
Moment, he comes
Humming into my
Ears, be it daylight,
Twilight or moonlight.
Hearing him is
Such a delight!

Even in the
Depths of
Despair and
Darkness, his
Legacy is like
An eternal candle
Burning bright.

His soothing
Voice fills my
Ears and over
The years, has
Always been
A source of rapid
Relief and respite.

I remain eternally
Grateful to him, thanks
To all his numerous songs
Serenading me, every
Morning, evening and night.



[Dedicated to Abhas Kumar Ganguly known to the world as Kishore Kumar]

[My psyche has a huge stock of his countless songs that often are on auto-play mode. I've grown up on his songs and so I remember many of them. One by one, his songs keep taking turns, flooding my mind with nostalgic memories.]

Tired

You get tired

Of life, still you

Keep trudging.


You don't want to

Take your own life,

So you keep trudging.

Bush

I don't like
Beating about
the bush.

If I love you,
I'll tell you.

If I don't
I won't.

Trio

Some songs never grow old.

This is one such song. I first heard it more than 20 years ago and even now, it sounds as refreshing and invigorating as it did the first time.

This buoyant, energetic, lively and romantic song has been sung by 3 singers - Udit Narayan, Alka Yagnik and Kedarnath Bhattacharya (known to us as Kumar Sanu).

The superb lyrics are by Sameer and music has been given by Nadeem-Shravan.

Here's the song for you.

Aaj Se, Jaan-E-Mann, Dil Hai Tumhara

Happy Listening :-)
