Hemalatha: A sensation unknown

Often, I wonder, what is the mark of a good singer? Bollywood has had a certain ill-flair in having neglected a lot of really worthwhile singers, who have given a great number of evergreen songs. To this band of long forgotten singers, belongs Hemlatha. Ever heard of the song “Akhiyon ke jharokon se” the title song of the same named movie? One can so easily sense the innocence and love in the voice – akin to the love of a young teenaged girl.
Hemlatha is one of those rare and gifted singers, with a thorough classical knowledge. Just by looking the the songs that she has sung, one can easily assess her talents – “Ankhiyon ke jharokhon se”, “le toh aaye ho hamein”, “tu is tarah se meri zindagi mein shaamil hai”, “jab deep jale aana”, and many more. To sing along with KJY one has to have a solid hold on the classic style and in “deep jale aana” – hemlatha shines as does KJY.
It is a tragedy that the film Industry never recognized her true worth. Usha Khanna, Ravindra Jain, and a few other music directors were the only ones who tried to figure her regularly. There are very few people too, who actually have listened to and appreciated her talent. It was sad that she couldn’t be as established as the contemporaries of latha mangeshkar, and asha bhonsle.. not that they two sister duos..really could be competed against! Well thatz that.. and now its time to get back to listenin’ to more of Hemlatha.
Some famous gems of Hemalatha:-
  • Ankhiyon ke jharokhon se (Movie: Ankhiyon ke jharokhon se)
  • Tu is tarah se meri zindagi mein (Movie: Aap toh aise na the)
  • Sun ke teri pukaar (Movie: Fakira)
  • Tu jo mere sur mein (Movie: Chitchor)
  • Wafa jo na ki (Movie: Mukaddar ka sikandar)
  • le to aaye ho hamein (Movie: Dulhan Wohi jo piya man bhaaye)
  • Kushiyan hi Kushiyan ho (Movie: Dulhan…………bhaaye)
  • Kya likhoon kaise likhoon (Movie: Maan Abhimaan)
  • Jab deep jale aana (Movie: Chitchor)

More on Calvin n Hobbes!!

Quotable Calvin n Hobbes!!


I can’t really conceive of any brained structure that would not love “Calvin n Hobbes” – So if any of ya so called “brained creatures” out there don’t like him.. STAY OUT!! 😀 . One thing is for sure, I am so hooked on C & H that I could practically spend days reading him and not care a damn for the world! I sometimes feel, he makes more sense than the thousands of us put together! Anyways.. herez a compilation of some of his quotes and conversations… boy.. do I love him.. or do I love him!!
  1. (To Moe after saying a highly complicated word) His train of thoughts is still boarding at the station. (LMAO)
  2. Everytime I’ve built character, I have regretted it!
  3. Your heart falls into your stomach & splashes your innards. This condensation shorts the circuits to your brains and you get all woozy. Your mouth disengages and you babble like cretin until she leaves. (Symptoms of Love!!!!)
  4. Get your rear in gear, will ya?
  5. If you can just get most people to ignore you and leave you alone, you’re doing good.
  6. I’m the end result of history. Think of it! Thousands of generations lived and died to produce my exact, scientific parents, whose reason for being, obviously, was to produce ME. All history upto this point has been has been spent preparing the world for my presence. Now I am here and history is vindicated. (Absolutely true!!!)
  7. Ho Ho! They tried to make me learn, but I was too tough for ’em! (he speaks so much for me!!!)

Well.. thank you Bill Watterson!
