God bless Latha with full life of 100 years

an outstanding artist in any field is born only once & that is more so in case of singers & cine actresses & actors.A Latha Mangeshkar of Hindi field is yet to be born once again. And equally a versatile singer & nightingale of South Indian Film field-P.Sushila is also yet to be born once again.So is the case even with male singers like Mohammed Rafi,Mukheshof Hindi filmworld & Ghantasala , S.P.Balasubrah manyam or Jesudasan of South Indian cine field.Each singer has a melody typical of her own or his own.Art is a God gift & seldom people are blessed with it.How many Ravi Varmas we have today in the field of painting?Can we see again at least for a whiole even immortal actresses like Savithri of South Indian filmworld & Meena Kumari of Hindi filmdom?How many nightingales like MS Subba Laxmi we have today?Can any one replace the inimitable shrillness & melody of MSSL?Though out of our own affection & regard for these artists we celebrate their annual Birth Days,there is no such necessity since their works have no age nor expiry date;they are permanent in the hearts of all art lovers;and this propensity is found more in case of music since it is divine & resuscitates life in a dieing soul.Latha Didi has enthralled the hearts of all the music lovers across the world for decades together.Latha is really a tender creeper coiling around the hearts of music lovers.May God bless her with full life of 100 years & gladden the hearts of further generations with her live programmes.

It's very true that definately there cannot be a second Lata Mangeshkar, likewise even not a second Asha Bhosle. LATA & ASHA are God's gifts to Indian Bollywood.
Now, they are on such a high padestrial that not even male playback singers can compare themselves in name, fame or fans, then what to talk of female play back singers.

I think all of us should also learn some non-singing qualities from LATAji and that is to remain humble, always cheerful & similing, still maintaing a family bond that too in a joint family, jovial nature and always perfect in her work that is singing.

Yes, we all are luckey that we are sharing the same era with her.

Long live LATAji and ASHAji. GOD BLESS YOU the complete nation is your fan.
