Abida Parveen dont need any intorduction she is equally popular in India and Pakistan. The beautiful and meaningful lyrics are well sung by her. Infact the whole album itself is gret. It has only 4 songs. This is the first and the best(as per me).

When legends gets together they make a history. A R Rahman and Lata, Music and Raaga. Excellent. I had a tough time to place this song at 7. Originally I posted this at no 3. But due to my personal likes and dislike it came a little down.

8: Mai to aarti utaru re santoshi mata.

Album/Film: Jai Santoshi Ma

Year: 1975

What is the movie which was screened for maximum no of days?'Sholay', almost 6 years, continuasly in a theater(Minerva, Mumbai)( I read in a magazine when I was a kid). And what was the second movie to run for maximum no of days? Yes you are right. It was'Jai Santoshi Ma'.  Almost 5 years. There were report that people from villages travelled 20-30 KM, in there bullock cart to see this movie. Sounds Like tirh yatra. isn't it?

Album/Film: Fiza

Year: 2000

Singer:  Kadar Ghulam Mustafa, Murtaza Ghulam Mustafa, A R Rahman, Srinivas

Lyrics: Shaukat Ali

Music:  A R Rahman

The beauty of this song lies in its music and picturisation. Also this song tells to us that we all might be different when it comes to color, culture and religion but finally we all are created by same. We just call him with different names.

The last but not the least.

10: Maiya mori mai nahi makhan khayo.

Year: Dont Know

Singer:  Anoop Jalota

Lyrics: Meerabai

Music:  Dont Know

Anoop Jalota is a symbol of'Bhajans'. Like Jagjit singh is another name to Gazals, he is same for Bhajans. This song is combination of different raagas. The beautiful explanation given during the song, by Jalota is excellent. Unfortunately I don't know the name of the album. If any one of you know please let me know. I heard this song long back, and still I can feel its meaning and melody in my heart.

That's all for now.

See you soon.
