Note on 6/11/22:
DON’T WORRY, THIS BLOG HAS NOT PETERED OUT YET EVEN IF A COUPLE OF MONTHS HAVE PASSED SINCE THE LAST POST WENT UP. THERE’S GOING TO BE A NEW POST, HAVING TO DO WITH RECENT/CURRENT PAKISTANI MUSIC (THOUGH SOMETIMES WITH ANCIENT ROOTS). IT’S GOING TO BE DIFFERENT AND IT’S GOING TO BE BIG AND INFORMATIVE. IT’S JUST TAKING A WHILE TO FINISH IT, ESPECIALY BECAUSE THE BLOGGER HAS BEEN STUCK WITH FULL-TIME WAGE WORK. BUT IT’S COMING SOON… STAY TUNED.

If you would like to contact me, e-mail to chardsinger [at] yahoo.com. I also have a Facebook timeline, where I have been spending too much time. (But it is only partially like this blog in terms of subject matter.) Anyway, especially if you know me somewhat, and you are on Facebook, you might want to connect there. Send an e-mail so that we can talk more about it and maybe exchange URLs to "friend."
Dances on the Footpath 
3 songs that are enjoyable through and through..and Nalini Jaywant is very good to watch!
Thank you for that, Richard! Loved them – and all songs I like too. (Of course, the presence of Nalini Jaywant makes them all the more enjoyable).
Thank you, Bawa and Dustedoff. I agree, these are splendid songs apart from the visuals, and Nalini makes them even more enjoyable.
Thanks for these beautiful songs, richard!
I also love this shikast song of hers: kare badra too na ja na ja!
Happy belated Birthday to Nalini Jaywant.
Oh, and another Nalini Jaywant song I like a lot:
Thandi hawaein lehraake aayein, from Naujawan:
Of course, for me, Prem Nath is an added attraction!
dustedoff: that song must also be a favourite with Lata herself as it always used to feature in her live concerts: much like aayega, and aaja re pardesi…
@dustedoff: That is one of my favorites as well.
It has such a soothing effect!
Harvey and Dustedoff, thanks for the songs, also good ones.
BTW, it seems that Lata has stolen all the attention in this Nalini birthday post. :) (Though the first song up is sung by Asha.)
I have to say, out of the whole bunch, I’ve gotten to like that one from Nau Bahar the most.
I really love Roshan’s music sometimes. I don’t think I’ll ever be able to do a numbered list of my favorite music directors – it would be too difficult to chose some favorites over others (at least after giving the number one spot to Naushad…).
