Lucky are those, who belongs to this current Transitional Era of Evolution but Fortunate are those who have spent their lives throughout this phase of Human and Global Metamorphosis. Out of these few fortunate there stands our LataJi (1929-2022). Being the Legend she has not only seen the transformation but have actively contributed in this transformation process with Human Evolution covering a Huge Area.
Through her Voice She has made ordinary moments of People to very extraordinary memories of their life. She was not only a Singer but an Artist who sprinkled her magical persona through her tone, notes & voice with Music to make the listener feel out of this world and remember that moment for the rest of their lives. Through her songs and music she has enhanced all most every emotion and feelings of her listeners, lets take few scenarios For Example...
- Starting with Wedding Songs, when Lataji's songs are played, the gathering gets enchanted due to her magical spell through music, because she was there. Relationships evolves, sight changes, be it mother daughter love, brother sister love or sister-sister love, feelings get changed making the bonds stronger and deep.
- During Travel, either in a car or any means her songs had transformed those moments to memorable moments.
- At Picnic destinations, either Honeymoon Trips or Friendly Tours, from Hill Station's Stay under stargazing nights with Bonfires, her voice has sensationalized those moments of the listeners and made them behaved differently with their companions making their bonds strong and profound, because she was there.
- Overseas people usually miss their countries, and to overcome that shortcoming they use Art, Culture & Music and feel a sense of attachment with their homeland reminding their roots of attachments. In this scenario too, when Lataji's song is heard, their pain and sadness turns into their power of emotions which derives them to remember their loved one and spent time together, because Lataji was there.
