I'd give you better shave than a Gillette

Taken at Rasta Peth, where thousands of Warkari halt for a day on their way to Pandharpur.

Maa - Sagarika

I managed to find out the cassette of this album 'Maa' at some random store luckily some one and half years back, and converted it to MP3.

Last year, there was a television serial which came out by the name of 'Meri Awaz Ko Mil Gayi Roshni' on Star Plus, it had seven songs written by veteran Nida Fazli, and one of them was 'Maa' by Hamsika Iyer (of Chanda Re fame).

Incidentally, even the song 'Maa' by Sagarika has lyrics by veteran Nida Fazli. Happened to hear it today after a long time, and thought of posting it on the blog. This song will remain always close to any child's heart :-)

Tried typing out the lyrics... (hope its right)

Dhoop mein chhaya jaisi
Pyaas mein nadiya jaisi
Tan mein jeevan jaise
Mann mein darpan jaise
Haath dua waale
Roshan kare ujaale
Phool ke jaise shabnam
Saans mein jaise sargam
Prem ki murat daya ki surat
Aisi aur kahaan hai - Jaise meri maa hai ??

Jahaan mein andhera chaaye
Woh deepak ban jaaye
Jab bhi kabhi raat jagaaye
Woh sapnaa ban jaaye
Andar neer bahaaye
Baahar se muskaaye
Kaaya bharta paavan se
Nakhra mera man jaise
Jiski darshan mein ho bhagwan
Aisi aur kahaan hai - Jaise meri maa hai?

For the credits of this song, I can recall Ganesh and Kumaresh for violin, and Naveen for flute.
