| Her music will always be educational for aspiring singers: Kailash Kher Feb 6th 2022, 12:52, by Mid-day One of the last songs that she worked on was Hum Hindustani, of which I was also a part. I consider it my good fortune that I am among the few priviledged ones to have been blessed by her in the [last few days] of her life. It was among the debut songs of Padmini Kolhapure`s label. Even before this, during our interactions, she is someone who always wore a blissful smile; jaise unme Daivi shakti thi. Her love for India reflected in her work. Yesterday was Saraswati Puja, and today she has left us. What she has given to this industry in unmatched. Her work will always teach people to love music, and be patriotic. For as long as one wants to learn music, her songs will always be available. Her songs, along with the compositions of her brother are such pieces that any aspiring musician can turn to for education. People always say that they want to sing like her, but no one says that they want to inculcate her habits, or have the kind of integrity that she had. People say she sacrificed herself by not marrying anyone. But that`s not her biggest sacrifice. She spent her life motivating people. She was active on Twitter, and even till the end kept tweeting about important matters, and did so with intention. She was keen to have the next generation learn from her. |
