Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Dear Friends,

Nightingale   is   singing

India's nightingale , Lata Mangeshkar is singing , "  NaMo  ,  NaMo  "

Congressmen are livid with rage

Shuklaji is advising Lataji to keep away from politics and keep out of controversy

And like his predecessor minister of I & B , B V Keskar , who had banned playing of harmonium and Kishor Kumar songs on All India Radio , current I & B minister , Manish Tewariji is considering a ban on playing of Lata-Songs on all TV channels !

Just as Sardar Patel had banned RSS  ?

To pip Arnab Goswami at his " Noise Hour " debate every night ,  Rajat Sharma served a summons on Lataji to appear on " Aap ki Adalat " , and asked :

"  Lata Didi ,

   You are alleged to have corrupted classical Indian music

   Bhairavi raga is supposed to be sung in early morning , in order to gently
   wake-up the people

   Other day , in Pune , you sang Bhairavi in the evening and woke up people
   from deep slumber of last 9 years

   And you even re-named the raga as " Raga NaMo "  !

   What do you have to say in your defense ?  "


Instead of replying , Lataji starts singing :


"   Aye mere watan ke logo , ab  pakadlo EVM jaraa jor se

  Jo phool dekho kamal ka , wo button dabavo jaraa pyar se  "


Instead of clapping , the audience starts singing loudly , in raga NaMo :


"  Ayega , ayega , ayega  Anewaala , ayega , ayega , ayega .......... "


The singing reverberates thru the length and breadth of India that is Bharat and fills up every heart  !


Nighingale has sung for 725 million voters
