Have a story to tell? A theme to work on? An emotion to express? A mood to paint? Easy. You can do all this and more with Hindi film songs. For musical stories or theme-based songs or lyrical expressions of moods or...whatever, this promises to be a fun-filled ride. Come, get on the bandwagon!

Adornments: Mere Haathon Mein

Sridevi is all over the telly, newspapers and magazines these days, receiving rave reviews for her performance in "English Vinglish". Her constant appearance in the news media has triggered this post. Here is a frothy solo from "Chandni"(1989). It was customary for this number to be played at weddings in those days. Composed by the eminent duo of santoor maestro Shivkumar Sharma and flute virtuoso Hariprasad Chaurasia, this was one of the most popular songs from that film. Chandani o meri chandani and Lagi aaj saawan ki were the other notable songs.

Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Anand Bakshi
Music: Shiv Hari
