Good that you remind of Chhodo mori bainya, such a lovely song. Great that ARR is again giving a thumri. And, thinking about it, considering Asha's age, it is good that her great talent is used for such (classical) songs or ghazals, instead of she, at 76, giving a love song with a male singer of 16 or 26. The age difference just shows. Hope ARR will use Lata ji also for such classical songs. -- Rawat
