520			_aIN MILLION OF MINDS, MYRIADS OF MEMORABLE SONGS AGO BUT HER ENIGMA AND A STONY SILENCE HAVE BEEN INSURMOUNTABLE BLOCKS. WHY THE SEARCH? BECAUSE, LATA MANGESHKAR'S SONGS ARE MUCH MORE THAN AN ESSENTIAL ADJUNCT SUCCESS OF MULTI-MILLION RUPEE PRODUCTIONS IN THE WORLD'S LARGEST FILM INDUSTRY THEY REPRESENT PRIVATE MOMENTS OF ANY INDIVIDUA WHO CAN HUM. THE AUTHOR'S SEARCH BEGAN WITH A PROFESSIONAL ENCOUNTER THAT WAS TO LAST THROUGH 14 YEARS OF CONCERT ASSOCIATION, SPANNING 21 COUNTRIES, 53 CITIES AND 123 SHOWS. STARTED AS A TRAVEL DIARY, IT SOON TOOK SHAPE OF A BIOGRAPHY THAT LOOKED AT ITS SUBJECT ANALYTICALLY AND HUMANELY FROM THE CLOSENESS NOT AFFORDED TO OTHERS. WHICH IS WHY, AS YOU READ THE BOOK, YOU FEEL THE WARMTH OF LATA'S PRESENCE, APART FROM DISCOVERING LITTLE-KNOWN FACETS OF THE LEGEND ITS TRAVELOGUE FORMAT ADDING ÉLAN TO ITS NARRATIVE. "MY ASSOCIATION WITH HER HAS BEEN ONE LONG REVELATION, THAT CONTINUES TO FASCINATE ME," SAYS THE AUTHOR.
