Comments on: Asha, Pancham, Kronos and ditzy Ghaat women http://www.meghalomania.com/2006/05/02/asha-pancham-kronos-and-ditzy-ghaat-women/ This blog, much like my life, is a work in progress.

On Lata versus Asha, while both of them were terrific in their youth, Asha's songs have a sense of fun you can't get in Lata's ( though Geeta Dutt is my favourite). And more than Lata's giggle, it's her pigtails that irritate the heck out of me. Grow up woman! And PS. stop singing, your voice has become phata now, and it sounds particularly bad when you're singing /mere khwaabon me jo aaye' in a phati baas awaaz for an 18 year old in mini-skirts on screen!

But above all, I simply love Pancham! There is a show, in Pune, held every year on his birthday and death anniv, to commemorate his music... its abs wonderful! They not only play some numbers (all his songs are worth listening to), but invite people who actually worked or played/sang with him. The show is theme-based, so they also bring out different nuances of Pancham's work- like the way his antaras would sound, or the addition of the same musical instrument in different songs and more... The show is run only on the money of the tickets, organised by RD lovers. They also have his original (marriage/birth) certificates, etc that they have painstakingly collected... People like Gulzar, Bhupendra, etc are regulars and come for 'nothing' except the love of Pancham and share great memories of him and their work. App (and I know of this as I attend the show regularly and know the people organising it) Asha was the first person they had approached to be present for the show and share instances...and she refused. Not only that (which she may have her own reasons), but she asked for an exorbitant amount for her to grace the occasion. I must say my feelings for her dropped a bit after hearing that.

I was also there because it had been my dream to attend Ashaji live. I couldn't fulfil it in India but I got the chance here in NY! :) Ashaji was very humble and her humor was so likable!

So our balloon of excitement had all its air let out and went <i>phussss</i>. And what is this, my boy? Did the Twinkie not like your leather fetish that you are trying to put it off on us now? And don't you think we'd consult you in these matters anyway, seeing as you have so much expertise in them? When YOU bought a camera, you talked to US about it. When WE buy leather and chains, we'll check with YOU first. Basic <i>usools of dosti</i> and all that. What, you thought we gave you that 'Frend' cap, just like that or what?
