हमको मिली हैं आज, ये घड़ियाँ नसीब से
जी भर के देख लीजिये हमको क़रीब से
फिर आपके नसीब में ये बात हो न हो
शायद फिर इस जनम में मुलाक़ात हो न हो
लग जा गले से.. #LataMangeshkar
To live in hearts we leave behind,is not to die. ????????♥️

She called me during the last Indian Idol season. She was full of laughter & joy when talking about music.

I'm broken at the thought of thst chat with her.

So grateful for all that #LataMangeshkar ji taught me and every musician in India, and that I got to thank her in person.
