Saawan Songs: Barase Boondiyaan Saawan Ki

Today we celebrate Krishna Janmashtami. I was looking for a suitable song for the occasion that would fit in my current theme. And I thought of this beautiful bhajan. I must have heard it many years ago on the radio. It did not appear in any film. But perhaps it was well-known in the non-film music category.

Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
Lyrics: Meerabai
Music: Hridaynath Mangeshkar

Garden Of Five Senses: Suniyo Ji Araj Mhariyo

Shot in the desert landscape of Rajasthan, "Lekin" (1991) was an off-beat film produced by Lata Mangeshkar and directed by Gulzar. Its music, composed by Lata's talented brother Hridaynath, is hauntingly beautiful. The film and its music won several awards. Presenting a divine song from the same today.

Singer: Lata Mangeshkar
