Lata (Nag)invariably dilivered the goods

Come, my heart beckons. Come, my pillar of support in these times of grief. It is wet. Where art thou at a time like this?

Pardon my attempt to translate the verse that went, “Mera dil yeh pukaare aaja, mere gham ke sahaare aaja. Bheega bheega hai sama, aise mein hai tu kahan?

But it’s possible that women of a certain vintage (Nag)instantly recalled the song, which was penned by Rajinder Krishan, when they missed their beaus.

Mr Kumar, renowned for H(em)a(u)nting melodies, was the composer of the track, which was sung by Lata Mangeshkar.
