asha is a satisfied soul, she is satisfied with her ''career,'' satisfied with her ''family life'' and satisfied with the way she is. but then, as a singer whose songs find a voice through millions of voices, she doesn't need to. among music directors, i like rd burman -and not because he was my husband.'' as a singer who sings every song as if it is her first one, asha does not blow her own trumpet. ''when i think of playback singers, i think of lata mangeshkar and kishore kumar. what i like about live performances is the instant feedback of the audience.'' the audience has its favourites. ![]() but the encouragement of the audience is all i need to feel reassured. ''i do feel a bit nervous while performing live. i just do what i am meant to do.'' asha bhosle, of course, is meant to sing. ''i have never been on the lookout for recognition. and this charm takes talk of the dadasaheb phalke coming a little too late in its stride. because ''people are happier than i am about my receiving the award!'' call it her sense of humour or what you will, but charm is second nature to this lady. just like i have always done.'' asha is happy. ''br chopra, my rakhi brother, called up to inform me that i had been chosen to receive the award. ![]() ![]() ''who wouldn't want to receive an award?'' a melodious silence punctuates the pause. ![]() but she has always had a spring in her step, a song on her lips. that is how the lyrics of life move for asha bhosle.
