Recently I have rediscovered Kishore Kumar. I had been listening to the usual
mix of Hindi and English songs for quite a long time, and was getting bored. In
the past 2-3 months none of the new songs had impressed me enough to
stake a claim in the favs.m3u Winamp play-list.
I had no idea what all songs I had on the hard disk - there is clutter even in
my songs folder, ala the real life - I was scouring through it when I saw the
Kishore Kumar song - “Pal Pal Dil ke Paas” (I think it is from Blackmail, although
not sure), an instant double-click. Humming along the song, I found lots of
hidden gems - “Yeh Dil Na Hota Bechara”, “Ek Ladki Bheegi Bhagi Si”, “Woh
Shaam Kuch Ajeeb Thi”, “Chala Jaata Hoon” and many many more songs.
I do not remember the music of “Speed of Sound” or the lyrics of “Lemon Tree”
or the guitar of “Hotel California”. All I care right now … Actually I do not care
about anything right now. Kishore Kumar has put me in a trance, and my
fingers are disconnected from my brain. As I type this, humming “Mere Saamne
Vali Khidki Mein”, I feel oddly contented.
Go listen to some Kishore Kumar songs

Kishore Kumar had entertained the viewers with his multi-talented singing style for more than 30 years. Within that span he was specially indebted to RD Burman who had given him immortal tunes.
