[desifleabag]

Hello beautiful people out here!

I am Deepali. I am from Pune, Maharashtra. I am 21 years old (shaadi ki umar)

Desi fleabag? Because I relate the most with that specific character. Horny, messy, vulnerable, and crazy all the time but also considerate, expressive, and kind. I am a desi version of her.

🎀What I like? I like to dance, sing, journal, write poems and stories, and doom scroll all the time

📍Professional side of me

I did my bachelor's in philosophy. I have been working in an organization for quite a long time. I am a content writer. I am a writer/poet. I am an open mic performer. I have performed at esteemed platforms like tapeatale, poemsindia, kommune, and many more. I am a psychology and sociology student too. I am a co-facilitator and youth lead in different schools through my organization. I have worked on poetry anthology books.

The most important part of my life is being a poet or a writer. It's been a decade since I started writing, and professionally, it's been two years. My poetry and stories revolve around different and unique topics like mental health, family dynamics, feminism, societal norms and culture, romance, life intricacies, friendship, etc. I love being a poet and telling people stories about me and the world because I believe poetry is everywhere. I have a blog called Sip and Sofa Stories where I share the most wholesome blogs and fun-to-read stories.

Not much of a reader, but I like reading poetry by Sylvia Plath and more female writers.

💌 Movies and songs? I am a die-hard fan of Bollywood. I listen to 2000s Bollywood and retro songs. No one can challenge me the way I vibe on these songs and dance. My childhood is memorable because of Sunidhi Chauhan, Lata Mangeshkar, Kishore Kumar, RD Burman, Asha Bhosle, Sonu Nigam, Shaan, Arijit Singh, and many more artists. I also listen to Kpop, pop, indie type of music on days when I am dissociating at the fullest. Hold my clutcher, I am a Swiftie and Lana Del Rey fan too, bitch.

I love Bollywood movies, and I am yet to discover more Western movies. I have a bunch of comfort movies like Ye Jawani Hai Dewaani, Piku, Om Shaanti Om, etc.

🪕 My aesthetic type? A combination of Geet and Piku and a little bit of Poo vibe sometimes. But I love desi clothes. Kurti, jhumkas, bindi, bangles, oh god I love being a woman.

Interesting facts about me :

🌸I have three tattoos on my body (Crescent moon, "you're on your own kid" title, "grateful"). I love getting tattoos!!

🥃Loneliness who? I go to bars, cafes, and parks alone because why not. I fear no god.

💛I never was in a relationship, just some hardcore crushes who crushed my soul.

❤️‍🩹I have been in therapy for almost three years and on and off on meds. GAD (generalized anxiety disorder) gang assemble!

😶‍🌫️I love and hate spending time on LinkedIn. Girl boss era.

💬I write poetry about my crushes and defame my ex-friends. They know it very well! Lol.

I am a hopeless romantic and a professional delusional person. I will cook the best scenarios in my head and write about them. I romanticize life on another level though there are 156 rupees in my bank account by going to aesthetic cafes.

Love English music all you want, but NOTHING, I repeat NOTHING, hits harder than desi music. Like every single singer has their own trademark genre which they can execute PERFECTLY?? 

Can we talk about Arijit’s Mai gehra tamas tu sunehra sawera main tera in Kalank? 

or his Tum sath ho ya na ho kya fark hai, bedard thi zindagi bedard hai in Agar tum sath ho? 

or Tujh sang sukhi roti bhaye in Mast Magan? Ok leave that. 

Lets talk about Atif’s Khayalon me lakho baaten yun toh keh gaya, bola kuch na tere saamne in Tu jaane na?

or Rafta rafta tera hua, tere bin mai hu benishan in Tera hua?

or Tenu lakhan ton chhupa ke rakhaan akkhaan te sajaa ke tu ae meri wafaa, rakh apna bana ke main tere layi aan yaara in Dil Diyan Gallan? Ok leave that

Let's talk about KK's Chaand Teri roshni ka halka sa ek saaya hai in Ajab Si?

Or dil kyun yeh mera shor kare, idhar nahi udhar nahi teri orr chale in Dil Kyu Yeh Mera?

Or lut Gaye hum teri mohabbat me in Tadap Tadap? Ok leave that.

Let's talk about Jubin Nautiyal's tum se jo mil gaye, Mausam khil gaye, khudse ladne Lage hum sawarne lage in sawarne lage?

Or Mausam mohabbaton ke, lamhe ye chahaton ke apne liya bane hai maan le in Gazab ka hai din?

Or tere bina main na rahu mere bina tu in raatan lambiyan? Fine, leave that as well. 

Lets talk about Shreya Ghoshal's kaise huzurji ye lab dikhlaaye, chuppi lagake bhi gazab hai yeh dhaye in saibo.

Or Ye ishq haaye baithe bithaaye jannat dikhaye hain in ye ishq?

Or Dil bharta nahi, aankhen rajjti nahi, chaahe kitna bhi dekhti jaaun, waqt jaaye main rok na paaun in Thodi Der?

And DO NOT get me started on Mohammad Rafi, Kishore Kumar, Lata Ji, Asha ji and Sonu Nigam. Desi songs are peak lyrics, romance, emotion and vocals. You're straight up wrong if you think ANYTHING can beat that. I love Taylor, 1D and all, but Hindi songs? Absolutely unmatched!

Comment/reblog you favourite lyrics below!

[orgasming-caterpillar]

DOYH: Music Taste

Ranveer Kashyap

classical music is life (both Hindustani and Carnatic)

Lata Mangeshkar, Muhammad Rafi and Kishore Kumar fanboy to the core

will occasionally turn on a qawwali (doesnt want to admit that he's obsessed)

is very picky in english songs, but likes Hozier, Sleeping At Last, and Frank Sinatra

Raghav Patil

knows how to play acoustic and electric guitar

had a rock/punk phase in high school (only with music tho) and still likes them

boy's got Arctic Monkeys and Mother Mother in his blood

fell in love with retro bollywood music after he plugged into one of ranveer's playlists

he is… SO DRAMATIC. Like,, Rahat Fateh Ali Khan level of dramatic. Played Zaroori Tha in his head while crying in chapter 17

Madhuri Gaikwad

oh she's THAT girl

has a beautiful voice, wants to be like her favorite (Asha Bhosle)

can recite every hindi item song by heart, especially old bollywood ones. Chikni chameli? Ek do teen? Badi mushkil? Chane ke khet mein? She knows them all.

surprisingly, she also knows a lot of aartiyaan and mantras, catch her singing Madhurashtakam at any time of the day.

Manorama Shankar

MARWADI SONGS

is lowkey embarrassed by them usually, but push her onto the dance floor in a rajasthani wedding, and she's killing it on every single beat.

has a gym playlist

has a whole playlist of bollywood loverboy songs for madhuri, sings them at random times to make her blush

Shrishti Kaur

HOZIER LESBIAN

mitski too

hates mainstream bollywood songs

likes hard vocals, more for practicing than for listening because she likes pushing her limits

Birthday greetings to the living music legend of the Hindi film industry, Sri #Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma (03/09).

The iconic music director duo #LaxmikantPyarelal is synonymous with Hindi film music, particularly its popular hits. Born on September 3, 1940, Pyarelal Ramprasad Sharma is the son of the renowned trumpeter, Pandit Ramprasad Sharma, also known as Babaji. Under his father's guidance, Pyarelal started learning the violin at just 8 years old, dedicating 8 to 12 hours daily to practice. He further refined his violin skills under Goan musician Anthony Gonsalves. The song "My Name Is Anthony Gonsalves" from the film Amar Akbar Anthony is a tribute to Gonsalves, featuring music by the Laxmikant–Pyarelal duo.

At 12, Pyarelal began playing the violin in various studios, including Ranjit Studios, to support his family financially. His brother, Gorakh Sharma, also contributed by playing guitar for songs composed by Laxmikant-Pyarelal.

The duo first gained widespread recognition with their music for the 1964 film Dosti, produced by Rajshri Productions. Despite relatively unknown lead actors, the film's memorable songs like "Chahoonga Main Tujhe Shaam Savere" and "Rahi Manwa" made it a hit. Many initially thought Laxmikant–Pyarelal was a single person. They won their first Filmfare Award for Best Music Director for Dosti, beating industry giants like Shankar–Jaikishan and Madan Mohan. Their subsequent work in films like Lootera, which featured famous Lata Mangeshkar songs, also gained fame.

By 1966, Laxmikant–Pyarelal had firmly established themselves in Bollywood. They continued to earn acclaim for their music in films like Aaye Din Bahar Ke and Pyar Kiye Jaa. In 1967, they had a series of hits, including the Golden Jubilee musical hit Farz, and other big-star films like Anita and Shagird. They won their second Filmfare Award for the film Milan.

Laxmikant–Pyarelal, along with contemporaries like Rahul Dev Burman and Kalyanji-Anandji, represented a new era in Bollywood music, overshadowing earlier composers. They were frequently chosen by major film producers and consistently delivered exceptional music.

Their significant collaboration with lyricist Anand Bakshi led to some of Bollywood’s most iconic songs, appearing in over 250 films. Anand Bakshi wrote the lyrics for all the films that earned Laxmikant–Pyarelal Filmfare Awards, except for their first. #RajeshKhanna also had a long-standing professional relationship with the duo, choosing them as the music directors for 26 of his films.

Another fruitful partnership was with singer Asha Bhonsle, who voiced numerous hits composed by Laxmikant–Pyarelal, including chart-toppers like "Dhal Gaya Din" and "Hungama Ho Gaya." The latter song was re-recorded for the 2014 film Queen and became a massive hit again. Between 1980 and 1986, Asha Bhonsle was often the lead vocalist for their compositions. Laxmikant–Pyarelal also scored music for the Telugu film Majnu in 1987, which was well-received for its musical numbers.

Panghat: Meaning

Panghat is a Hindi compound word combining pani (water) and ghat (steps leading to a water body). In poetic lore it refers to a river bank where Lord Krishna used to hang out around Gopis.

Lord Krishna & Gopis on Panghat Painting

Rama Ho Rama Humne Gaon Ke Panghat Pe - by Mukesh in Ek Bechara (1972)

Film cast: Jeetendra, Rekha, Vinod khanna, Pran, Bindu, Kalpana,  Johny Walker, Anwar Hussan, Salome

Singer: Asha Bhosle, Lata Mangeshkar

Lyricist: Anand Bakshi (This Song was Written on Indian context)

Translation of This funny Song

In our country, it was said

That every girl is Hindustani

Either Radha or Sita or Rani of Jhansi.

We had seen woman carrying water at Bank of river or well in the village.

But We became dizzy after seeing these women of the cities.

Here are the roads, there were lanes,

Here are thorns, there were buds,

There was a tanga (two wheel carriage) Here is a vehicle with four wheels

There was fairy, Here is madam

There was anklets, Here is sandal,

There was a chandelier, here is the pandel,

There was a veil, Here is splendor (Charm)

There was peace, Here is rebellion

With small Matter they make preparations for fighting,

Some are nightingals, some are butterflies,

Some are fire, Some electricity,

Some M.A., Some are B.A., Some are P.A.

Just the name is a real one

The rest is all fake,

No  Pallanquin 

No wedding procession 

They Choose life partner themselves

Often virgins makes love before marriage

We became dizzy after seeing these women of the cities

Listened to the Titanic soundtrack including “My Heart Will Go On” and all day I’ve been frantically listening to 12th century cantinas, Wolf 359 soundtrack music, and old Indian songs by Lata ji or Asha Bhosle to get that song out of my head because it will not stop looping and I do not need an ear worm as soulful and as dramatic in my head.

Lata Mangeshkar’s Global Influence: Bridging Cultures Through Music

Lata Mangeshkar, often referred to as the “Nightingale of India,” was not just a singer but a phenomenon that defined an era. Her voice, both versatile and deeply emotive, left an indelible mark on Indian music. As one of the most celebrated playback singers of all time, Lata Mangeshkar epitomized grace, dedication, and excellence in her craft. For over seven decades, her songs resonated with listeners, capturing the essence of love, longing, patriotism, and devotion. This article pays homage to Lata Mangeshkar’s unparalleled legacy, showcasing her rise to fame, her contributions to Indian and global music, and the timelessness of her artistry.

Humble Beginnings: The Making of a Legend

Born on September 28, 1929, in Indore, Madhya Pradesh, Lata Mangeshkar grew up in a family steeped in music. Her father, Deenanath Mangeshkar, was a classical musician and theater artist, and it was under his guidance that Lata’s musical journey began. Tragedy struck early when her father passed away, but young Lata, driven by resilience and talent, took on singing to support her family.

Her early foray into films as a child actor soon gave way to playback singing. Despite initial struggles, including rejections due to her distinctive voice, she persisted. Her big break came with the song “Aayega Aanewala” from the film Mahal (1949), which catapulted her to stardom.

The Golden Voice of Indian Cinema

Lata Mangeshkar’s career was synonymous with the golden era of Bollywood music. She worked with legendary composers like S.D. Burman, Madan Mohan, Shankar-Jaikishan, and Laxmikant-Pyarelal, creating unforgettable melodies. Iconic songs such as “Lag Ja Gale”, “Pyar Kiya To Darna Kya”, and “Tere Bina Zindagi Se Koi” became milestones in Indian cinematic history.

Her ability to adapt her voice to suit different actresses — from Madhubala to Kajol — was a testament to her incredible range. Whether it was a romantic ballad, a devotional hymn, or a patriotic anthem like “Ae Mere Watan Ke Logon”, Lata Ji infused every song with unparalleled emotion.

A Versatile Artist Across Genres and Languages

One of Lata Mangeshkar’s greatest achievements was her linguistic versatility. She sang in over 36 languages, including Hindi, Marathi, Bengali, Tamil, and Malayalam. This linguistic prowess not only expanded her reach but also showcased her ability to embrace diverse musical traditions.

She wasn’t confined to film music alone. Her ghazals, bhajans, and classical renditions further highlighted her versatility. Collaborations with classical legends like Pandit Jasraj and Ustad Amir Khan revealed her deep respect for Indian classical traditions.

International Acclaim and Awards

Lata Mangeshkar’s voice reached beyond Indian shores, earning her global recognition. In 1974, she became the first Indian to perform at the Royal Albert Hall in London. Her accolades include the Bharat Ratna, India’s highest civilian award, and a Grammy nomination.

Her songs were sampled and appreciated in international circles, and she collaborated with global artists, further cementing her reputation as a cultural ambassador of India.

Influence on Generations

Lata Mangeshkar’s impact on the music industry extends far beyond her own era. She inspired countless singers, from Asha Bhosle to Shreya Ghoshal, shaping the soundscape of Indian music for generations. Her dedication to perfection set a benchmark for professionalism and excellence in playback singing.

Through her foundation, she also supported upcoming artists and contributed to charitable causes, proving that her compassion was as boundless as her talent.

Conclusion: Lata Mangeshkar was not just the “Nightingale of India” — she was the soul of Indian music. Her legacy transcends generations, and her songs continue to be a source of comfort, joy, and inspiration. With her unique ability to convey profound emotions through her voice, she remains unparalleled in the history of music. The name Lata Mangeshkar is synonymous with timeless artistry and devotion to craft. As we listen to her melodies, let us remember her not just as a legendary singer but as an eternal symbol of India’s cultural heritage.

"The Magic of Music in Desi Cinema: How Songs Define the Soul of Indian Films"

Introduction: No other film industry in the world celebrates music as much as Desi Cinema. Whether it's the grand, orchestrated musical numbers of Bollywood or the soulful ballads in regional films, music is the heartbeat of Indian cinema. In this post, we'll take a deep dive into how music has shaped and defined desicinema, from its early beginnings to modern-day hits.

The Role of Music in the Golden Age:

The 1950s and 1960s were a defining period for Indian film music. Music directors like S.D. Burman, Shankar Jaikishan, and Naushad composed melodies that became immortal. Songs from films like Mughal-e-Azam (1960), Awaara (1951), and Pyaasa (1957) didn’t just complement the narrative but enhanced the emotional depth of the story.

The early Bollywood musicals were often built around the songs themselves. Bollywood songs became a language in their own right, often conveying emotions too complex to be expressed through dialogue. Lata Mangeshkar and Kishore Kumar, the voices of the era, gave life to these songs, making them iconic.

The '70s and '80s: The Rise of Disco & Playback Singing:

The 1970s and 1980s saw an interesting shift in Bollywood’s musical landscape. Disco music entered the scene with tracks like I’m Your Baby Tonight from The Burning Train (1980) and Disco Dancer (1982), marking a more international sound. Meanwhile, playback singers like Kishore Kumar, Mohammad Rafi, and Asha Bhosle dominated the scene, creating songs that were as iconic as the films themselves.

In the 1980s, films like Sholay (1975), Amar Akbar Anthony (1977), and Qurbani (1980) brought forward energetic numbers that resonated with the masses, giving Bollywood a new sound. But it wasn’t just the music; the choreography, the costumes, and the setting also came to define the genre. The popularity of the "item number" emerged around this time, a tradition that continues to define Bollywood today.

The '90s: The Era of Romance and Soundtracks:

The 1990s were marked by an explosion of musical blockbusters. The classic pairing of melodious love songs with visual grandeur became a hallmark of Bollywood during this period. Composers like Jatin-Lalit, Nadeem-Shravan, and A.R. Rahman introduced a range of sounds, from the soulful romantic ballads of Dilwale Dulhania Le Jayenge (1995) to the more contemporary pop-infused melodies of Dil Se (1998).

A.R. Rahman, in particular, revolutionized the industry with his fusion of Western and Indian music, creating scores that broke conventional barriers. His iconic work in Roja (1992) and Taal (1999) not only changed the music industry but also brought a new era of musical experimentation in Indian films.

Modern Day: The Fusion of Genres and Global Influence:

Today, Desi Cinema is characterized by a mix of traditional music with international styles. Composers like Pritam, Amit Trivedi, and A.R. Rahman continue to dominate the soundscape, but the influence of global genres like hip-hop, rap, electronic dance music (EDM), and even reggaeton can be felt in contemporary tracks. Bollywood soundtracks now embrace a wider range of genres, reflecting the evolving tastes of global audiences.

The rise of digital music platforms like Spotify and YouTube has made desicinemas film music more accessible than ever before, allowing audiences to discover and enjoy songs from all over India. In the past decade, regional cinema has seen a rise in musical experimentation as well, with composers like Ilaiyaraaja (Tamil).

Conclusion:

Music is the lifeblood of Desi Cinema. It’s what makes us laugh, cry, and dream alongside our favorite characters. From the majestic orchestral compositions of the 50s to the pulsating beats of today, the role of music in Indian cinema cannot be overstated. In Desi films, music is not just a background element—it’s an essential part of the narrative, blending seamlessly with the story to create an experience that is distinctly Indian, yet universally relatable. Whether you're humming a tune from a Bollywood blockbuster or tapping your feet to a Tamil chartbuster, music continues to be the soul of Indian cinema.

Lata Mangeshkar was one of the most important musicians in modern (i.e. post-independence) India, and I'm saying this as a kind of non-fan (there rlly is no way to completely be a disliker of her music or disinterested in her work at all for a majority of Indians). She and her family were the most prominent musician family in Marathi and Hindi cinema up till a decade and a half ago. This woman near completely defined the sound of cinema for multiple generations of people throughout the Indian subcontinent and the *world*. She was in the Guinness Book of World records before being replaced by her sister Asha Bhosle, as the most recorded artist in history. She recorded like 50,000 songs in FOURTEEN different languages AND was an occasional music composer along with being the most celebrated female playback singer of her time. She and her sisters were singing playback for actresses decades younger than them up till her death. Here are a few of my favourite songs and music videos featuring her!
