Raat Shabnami

Jaanam Samjha Karo (Album : Asha Bhosle)

This song has a cheery, teasing flavor throughout, with Asha Bhosle's youthful voice adding magic to Leslie Lewis' peppy music; and yes, THE Milind Soman in the video, what more can you ask for?

Ninnukori Varnam

Agni Nakshatram (1988)

This was a cult song in the Maniratnam-induced era of "different" film-making; Amala dancing in PC Sriram's psychedelic lighting to Ilayaraaja's fulsome beats and Prabhu looking on - Somewhere Chitra's wonderful singing gets pushed to the background. Another very difficult song to sing, and I know I haven't done justice to it, a big ask, anyway, right?

Tu Tu Hai Wahi

Ye Vaada Rahaa (1982)

I love this song, it has layers of memories, nostalgia, bliss and fogotten wisps of thoughts. Lovely.

Tanha Tanha Yahaan Pe Jeena

Rangeela (1995)

Another lovely song, and a very faulty rendition by me, didn't know how to cancel out all the noise generated while recording. Need to get more savvy on this. Anyways, do bear with me.

Update: Recorded this again, hope it's better this time.

Dheeme Dheeme Gaaoon

Zubeida (2001)

I love this song for the absolutely lovely and simple melody, but when I tried to sing it, I understood that it is not so simple after all. Most, rather all, of Rahman's songs are so difficult to sing, I wonder why!

Update: Changed the pitch to E from G#, think this one suits my voice better, what do you think?

Didi Tera Dewar Deewaana

Hum Aapke Hain Kaun (1994)

Audacity messed up the tempo while recording. Was too lazy to re-record, so here it is...
