Today is the fourth death anniversary of Lata Mangeshkar, the Melody Queen.
With little to add to what has already been written about the legendary singer, I feel tempted to share a real life incident reminisced about in a YouTube post by Dr. Omer Adil, a well qualified orthopedic surgeon from across the border who also happens to be a knowledgeable Media personality.He is an ardent Noor Jehan fan and often carries discusssion inter alia about her on Media.
In 1989, Dr Omer Adil appeared for the FRCS exam in London. Having passed thorugh the practical test and Viva which both went well, there was a gap of three hours time for the final result to be declared. He took a Tube to Oxford Circus Tube station and started roaming about the Oxford Street. Coming to Selfridge's, a high- end store in London, he chanced upon Lata Mangeshkar, accompanied by some other lady. He greeted her and in a way sought her blessings for his FRCS result. Lata Mangeshkar responded graciously.
Eventually he qualified and is an FRCS.
This is an acknowledgement of what a great personality Lata Mangeshkar was.
Our humble tributes ЁЯЩП
