Bhanwara Bada Nada Hai (Cover)





This is one of Asha ji’s sweetest and early numbers. Simply adore her cute and playful expressions as she sings for the very beautiful and fresh-as-a-bud Waheeda Rehman. Love the metaphor of ‘Bhanwara’ for her love interest! :D
Singing this song, was a different experience altogether! :) Though without Raj’s perfect mixing the song wouldn’t sound as beautiful. Thanks for the help, Raj! :)
I’d also like to thank Latha for lending me the K-track. :)
Movie – Sahib Bibi Aur Ghulam
Music – Hemant Kumar
Lyrics – Shakeel Badayuni
Singer – Asha Bhosle
Mixed by – Raj
Track Courtesy – Latha

Music muses

They say books are your best friends. They are. But I think it's music that gets me alive and makes me go crazy. It makes me ponder:

Music is a wonderful manifestation of different moods - a face of our emotions. It's the predominant part of our nature that dictates our taste towards it. I love all kinds of music. Yet, I have a propensity towards peppy and soulful numbers or even meaningless madness that doesn't fail to chime in my ears... That said, music is a privilege to one and all...some like it sweet, some like it wild, while others prefer it quiet and lull.

I am in a trance as the uncanny power of music regulates my body chemistry and infuses positive energy in me. It's a feeling of a pure spirit hugging me. This is magic! With each listen, I reach closer to myself. Music has no language, but is an expression of living as well as non-living beings. It is, but a harmonized string of sounds patterned in a melodious way - a tuneful transition of different sounds and a language for the visuals. Perhaps, by virtue of music, would the "Amoeba" be lyrical...?
