Jaadu Hain Nasha Hain…

Jaadu Hai Nasha Hai Madhoshiyan Hai
Tujhko Bhulake Aab Jaao Kahan
Dekhti Hai Jis Tarah Se Teri Nazrein Mujhe
Main Khud Ko Chupaao Kahan

I’m sure my pals from India would know the voice behind this sensuous song… a sweet… cute and very young girl… who is extremely talented… and already a superstar… yes I’m talking about Shreya Ghoshal

Now what made me blog about her... two reasons…

Firstly, she is from my colony and secondly on Friday eve I saw her live musical concert.

I rushed from my office and reached the colony well in time... but the hall was packed and no place to sit…

As usual the show started with some introduction and the uncle who gave the introduction was completely hopeless… we were waiting when he will finish off with his (supposed to be) brief speech… whole biography of Shreya was told by him… good that she is only 22 else he would have easily taken an hour to complete the speech.

Then the lights went off and the music started… all eyes were desperately looking for Shreya… but someone called Ayub Patel started the show… he sang two songs but the audience were least bothered… all were so impatient to see the girl of the colony…

Then after a brief silence the song starts…
“Silsila ye Chahat ka na maine bujhne diya”…
and Shreya appears on stage… whistles… clapping… cheering her up… gosh… the whole atmosphere got charged up….

The song was followed by two romantic numbers…
“Waada Raha…Pyar se Pyaar ka” (From Khakhee)
“Agar Tum Mil Jao.. (From Zeher)

and
I fell in love with her voice… awesome… she sings awesome… and the way she was managing the stage was too good… very smartly using English, Hindi and Bangla to make sure that she keeps everyone happy…

Next to come was a very sweet parody of some sweet old songs…
On Durga Puja how she would have done injustice to the Bengali crowd… and she sang 3 Bengali songs in a row… I don’t remember the lyrics but the songs were very melodious and if she is singing I can listen to her irrespective of the language…

“Kangana re kangana re Kirnon se sab rangana re” (from Paheli)
was next to follow… I was already wondering there are so many hit numbers in her kit…

After a short break she came back with some super hit catchy numbers…
Much awaited “Jaadu hain naasha hain”…rocked the floor…which actually did Jaadu (magic) on all…

Ears and heart were having a treat…and with "Piyu bole piya bole" (from Parineeta) one could easily appreciate the variety she was offering…

Right from 8PM I with my friends were standing and watching…and there were hundreds of people standing… and very calmly enjoying the show…

As the show was concluding she picked up the fast numbers…

With songs like…
“Mujhe Tumse Mohabatt hain… Dewwangi ki hadd tak”
“Tumhein jo maine dekha, tumhein jo maine jaana ”
“Gori gori, gori gori, gori gori… from MHN”
the atmosphere was rocking…

and then she concluded the show with one of the super hit song of Devdas…
“Dhola re Dhola re Dhola re Dhola”….

It was bliss… a right kick start to the Friday eve…

I generally don’t go for musical concerts and all… I prefer stage plays… had it been anyone other than Shreya Ghoshal… I would have easily avoided it... Keep rocking Shreya… it’s just the beginning for you.
