Singing

It`s Friday evening and we went to the Indian Community Centre in Milpitas. Sangeetha Mai was going to sing at that place so we went to listen to hear her sing. There were plenty of singers but she was the best. Also an uncle sang very well.
Its amazing to see these people sing with such beauty. The theme today was that of sad songs so it was kind of sad listening to all those sad old songs.

Sangeetha sang the song from Abhimaan..Piya Bina..a beautiful sad song. The original song was sung by Lata Mangeshkar.

Something about Latadi ......
Lata Mangeshkar (Marathi/Hindi:लता मंगेशकर) (born September 28, 1929) is a singer from India with a career that has spanned more than six decades. She is one of the only two singers (and the only playback singer) to have been awarded the Bharat Ratna, the nation's highest civilian honour (the other being legendary classical vocalist M.S. Subbulakshmi). Although she sang mainly for Hindi and Marathi films, Lata Mangeshkar's popularity and influence transcends barriers of region and language. She has sung 35 major Indian languages. Lata is also popularly referred to as the 'Nightingale of India' and continues to sing to date in Indian cinema.
