Havent sung a bengali song for the blog in a while :( So finally it was time. Found the track and love the song so recorded it :) This song is more popular in the hindi version 'Kahi Door Jab' sung by Mukesh. The bengali version was originally sung by Hemant Mukhopadhyay.
Hope you enjoy my attempt :)

Deewana Leke Aaya Hai
'Mere Jeevan Sathi' was a big hit because of its super songs composed by RD Burman. One such gem from the movie is Deewana Leke Aaya Hai. Beautiful song with beautiful lyrics. I have made a humble attempt in singing this number. Please have a listen at your convenience.

Honton Se Chu Lo Tum
Honton Se Chu Lo Tum is arguably the best ghazal to have featured in a bollywood movie. It is extremely difficult not to be moved by the beautiful lyrics by Indivar and the souful tune by Jagjit Singh. The result of their efforts is a timeless classic. There have been quite a few versions of this song apart from the original which is sung by Jagjit Singh in the movie. The version we are singing today is one done by Anuradha Paudwal and Jaswant Singh. It is a duet version and a bit slower than the original. Vidyu has accompanied me to sing this beautiful song and has done a stellar job. Hope you enjoy our attempt at this classic. Please have a listen at your convenience.

Suraj Hua Maddham
Friends,
This is a classic ( i think !) from Kabhi Khushi Kabhi Gham. An excellent composition by Jatin-Lalit it is beautifully sung by Sonu Niigam(Apparently Sonu has added the extra 'i' to his name at the advice of a numerologist ! ) and Alka Yagnik. Any Sonu Niigam song is difficult to sing cause of the tremendous emotions he puts in them and also his awesome voice control and this is no different !
I have tried singing this song with Smitha. She has only started blogging recently and is an extremely talented singer. She has done an excellent job in this rendition . I hope you like our attempt and leave a note if you can :-) Please have a listen at your convenience :)

Ek Meetha Marz Dene
Friends,
Its been quite a while since i updated my blog. Firstly a very happy new year to you all. Hope 2009 brings out the best in you :) Thanx to all those who spend a part of their time listening to my songs on my blog in 2008 :)
Lets get to the song now ! Most of the top 10 songs these days come with a heavy dose of orchestration...excellent beats ...jazzy bass guitar.....you hear the song and say 'wow kya beats hain yaar' and start tapping your feet !! Sometimes you do remember the lyrics too ! And there are songs also of our generation that get instantly recognized for their tune and lyrics rather than the "foot tapping" nature of the song. The voice becomes the sole feature rather than the orchestration ! One such song which i loved instantly is 'Ek Meetha Marz' from the movie 'Welcome to Sajjjanpur' . The song is beautifully sung by 'Dooba Dooba' fame Mohit Chauhan and 'Kabhi Neem Neem' fame Madhushree. Its such a beautiful tune that i am sure those who have heard it once still remember it !
I have tried singing this song with Vidyu . She has sung her lines beautifully as only she can. I hope you like our attempt and leave a note if you can :-) Please have a listen at your convenience :)

Jhumroo
Friends,
Thought i would change the mood from an emotional 'Maa' to a crazy 'Jhumroo'. As you all know Kishore Kumar was the pioneer of yoddling in the bollywood music industry. He was an expert at yoddling and this song proves exactly that. Genius that he was Kishore wrote the lyrics of this song and also composed it. Most probably other music directors did not give him the opportunity to go berserk with his yoddling skills and so he composed this on his own. Although a fun song to sing it is a very tough song specially in the way Kishore effortlessly uses falsetto time and again and then quickly switches to his normal voice. I have made an honest attempt. Hope you can have a listen at your convenience.

Maa
Friends,
This song needs no introduction...if you have seen the movie then you must have just loved this song. Its been sung on most reality shows most recently by Rahul Vidya. I heard the song first time on the internet (where else !) and i have not yet seen the movie. My friend's tell me that it is a 'guaranteed to make you cry' movie ! The song is just amazing..the lyrics absolutely beautiful and Shankar's voice just flows brilliantly throughout the song. I have made an attempt to sing it. Please have a listen at your convenience.
