Melodiously, Manna Dwa(a)r(f)ed his peers

With due respect to other singers, Mr Dey was the master of semi-classical music.

Incidentally, his name (Manna) is also a transitive verb in Hindi, which means to agree.

Music lovers can draw up a list of songs that prove the point about his prowess over the aforementioned genre. And it’ll include Kaun Aaya Mere Man Ke Dwaare, from Dekh Kabira Roya.

The song can be translated to, “Who has come to the doorstep of my mind, with her anklets tinkling?” It was based on Raga Rageshree, penned by Rajinder (Krish)and composed by Madan Mohan.
