MERI AVAAZ ,HI PEHCHAAN HAI
“MERI AVAAZ
,HI PEHCHAAN HAI”- Lata Mangeshkar did not just sing
these lines, she lived them too. It is deeply saddening for India to lose
such a legendary singer-The Queen of Melody, our beloved Lata Didi.
Her
legacy of more than 50,000 songs in over 36 regional languages remains
untouched. There are so
many life lessons to learn from her, a life lived extraordinary.
She inherited the talent of acting from her father
and acted in numerous musical plays. But her talent of singing, her voice, outshined her acting
skills.
At the age of 13, she sung her first song for a
marathi movie, and her journey of becoming an musical star began… She gave
Bollywood its hit songs like Lag Jaa Gale, Tujhe Dekha To Yeh Jaana Sanam, O Paalanhaare and
the list goes on.
But all this fame and popularity did not come so easy as it
looks, she too faced rejections in her early phase of her career. She considered herself an eternal ‘student of
music.’ Her dedication and willingness
to learn are indeed the qualities that distinguish her from other singers and
are worth inculcating for all of us.
She moved Prime
Minister Jawaharlal Nehru to tears!
An
interesting incident, It was a few months after the 1962's
Sino-Indian War, on Republic Day (January 26, 1963). This event was held in
Delhi where, our Prime minister Jawaharlal nehru and our president Sarvapalli
Radhakrishnan. Were also present. There were thousands of people gathered for that
event. It was the first time she sang the song “Aye Mere Watan Ke Logon”. It is
not at all surprising that this song made everyone feel proud, patriotic and
grateful to be an Indian.
Our PM
with tears in his eyes said “Those who don’t feel
inspired by ‘Aye mere watan ke logon’ don’t deserve to be called a Hindustani.”
It takes a lifetime to get such a complement from a natioal authority. Which tells
us about her influential aura.
Lata Mangeshkar rightly said in an interview that, “One has to be
fully committed to one's career. Otherwise, there's no point.” This makes
me intrigued by her passion for her career ,her ambitions and inspires me to
stick to my purpose and strie for my ambitions and my passion. I admire her
ground to earth personality and in her respect I would like to quote for her
these lines by Helen Keller, “The best and most
beautiful things in the world cannot be seen or even touched -- they must be
felt with the heart."
