ACT OF LOVEndash Shelly and Arshdeep

Under Shreyarsquos shadow we tried spreading smiles laughter and greenery by

doing few things at our level

We brought 10 saplings and gifted them to few of our friends and

neighbours And also planted some of them in our houses So this way we

tried playing some of our part towards the environment

We took a small cake chocolates and eatables for some unprivileged kids

We spent some time playing football with them and gifted them foot-

balls Those smiles on their faces literally made us so happy

We contributed in the education of Shellyrsquos maidrsquos son who is going to start

his schooling this year We also got him a school bag a pencil box a

lunch box and some other stationery items

THANK YOU SHREYA FOR INTRODUCING ACT OF LOVE IN OUR-

LIVES YOU MAKE US A BETTER PERSON LOVE YOU

Chiranjeetndash Act of Love

Act Of Lovendash Chiranjeet Kolkata the shinning metro city is known as lsquoThe City of Joyrsquo but a large number of peo-ple live here without any kind of joy Nowadays Kolkata have experienced the worst side of poverty I have always wished to do something for these people but I donrsquot have any kind of power or ability to do some big things so I planned to spend some time with some road-side poor child who are the most unfortunate people because they were born amp grew up on the roads always seeing the other childrenrsquos go to school happy with their parents playing games but they donrsquot know the meaning of school they donrsquot know about games they donrsquot know about education and they donrsquot know about relations I got a dozen of such children on the footpath of Phoolbagan area of Kolkata just outside the Pantaloons mall spent an hour with them got to know them and I gave them food sweets amp chocolates for their lunch I understood one thing that the best feelings of life is when you makes someone happy Though just for a little phase of a day but at least I made them happy for once They donrsquot know anything about culture but they know the language of love like us when I distributed foods among them they smiled at me amp thanked me indirectly which I could feel from my heart In a word it was one of the great-est day and one of the beautiful experience for me Thank you so much Melody Queen (SG) to taught us the actual meaning of Love by your ActOfLove J Its my biggest pleasure to be a part of this holy work

Komalndash Act of Love

For my act of love I decided to make a positive difference to someones life and teach my

maids daughter who does not go to school She was feeling shy to come and learn I kept

asking her daily and finally she agreed I use to teach one more girl whose parents are la-

borers and even she doesnrsquot go to school She stopped coming as she went to her village

Luckily she has come back and wants to continue with her classes Thank you Shreya di

Since long I wanted to start this and finally I could do Love you

Act of Love Well everyone knows how brilliant SG is at singing so theres no need for explaining and also theres no appropriate word to describe her talent Shreya Ghoshal - if I take this name I get goosebumps and my heart fills with lots of love and respect for her she is indeed the most beautiful creation of god I have been following SG since Chote Ustad and I got to know the beautiful person behind the beautiful voice Since then I have been exploring SG as a person

Her Philosophies about life became mine Her positive attitude towards life made me positive Her hardworking nature made me ambitious Her idea of act of love made me a Humanitarian Her dedication into whatever she does made me a achiever Her Perfectionism made me realise that I have to work hard to achieve my goals Her Smile Reminds that Every day is a new beginning do your best

The distance between us makes me miss her and hence makes me love her more day by day I think after her parents we the fans are the ones who loves her more than life Im happy to be a fan I love struggling to meetwatch her live preparing for the concert (Charts Placards) saving pocket money for her next concert The struggle does nothing but makes my love for her even more strongerlike never be-foreI can proudly say that my love for Shreya Ghoshal grows as each day passes by I started learning music since I met her first I always wanted to learn music but i needed a push which sg herself gave me Now Im learning music and its about 1 12 years now As a dedication to my inspirationidol this is least I could do as a fan because what she has given us is immeasurable Her voice has been a great support to millions of people emo-tionally I would thank Uncle and Aunty ( sg Parents) more than anyone else for giving us Our Shreya Di Thanky ou SG for Influencing my life and thank you for making me what im to-day ) Thankyou for making me a FORGIVER (This has helped me alot ALOT) Lots and Lots of Never-ending love Ruqaiyah D iSHREYAing

Act of Love ndash A special act to bring smile and ray of hope in the lives of those in need

I was accompanied by Riya Banerjee (riyabanerjee1) and Soumya Das (loveushreyadi)

to carry out this special act We had distributed sarees and sweets among three economi-

cally backward aged lady Two among three ladies were pre-selected We gave away those

materials of daily needs to them at some nearby palces Happiness on their faces were a

treat to see One of them a lady who begs on the foot bridge of a station was reduced to

tears tears of joy That was a priceless treasured moment We were hopping between

stations in search of one more such person All of a sudden a lady begging in a local train

caught our sight She was hardly able to walk As soon as we hand over her that saree and

sweets she was shocked to the core in happiness When something is wished with a pure

heart it has to happen

Later on we went to a nearby primary school having some 22 students from financially

backward families As taken pre-permission from the head of that school we distributed

copies pencils erasers and chocolates among those little students Their excitement were

at the peak The head teacher praised Shreya Ghoshal and us for helping out people in

need

All thanks to our inspiration Shreya Ghoshal for guiding and staying beside us always J

ernment schools they are least bothered to take care of their small needs Itrsquos a free school so their parents simply sending their children to schools without any sufficient

needs I thought of helping them to give books pens and pencils Thank god atleast their parents sending them to schools J

Inspiringrdquo ndash A word that perfectly describes you Your every single act from a little glimpse

of yours your voice your thoughts and literally everything you do is the source of inspi-

ration You and your voice are that virtual force which guides me in my journey of life De-

votion for you comes just like that The way you look up to the world is a lesson for us to

learn You teach us to bring out good from within negativity Word seems too small when

it comes to express what you mean to us You enrich not just my life but everyonersquos you

touches Your sweet humble nature and a generous heart are part of what makes you a

special person For me you your voice and your inspiring personality acts the same way a

glowing candle acts in darkness

I believe inspiration comes from as a person You make this world a better place by just

being you With your love and humbleness you have never let that celebrity barrier built

between us You are a gem of a person and a caring soul I find you beside me in my hard

times Moments spent with you are treasures and most cherished ones With you we ex-

perience that feeling of oneness Whatever you do itrsquos always wrapped with love and

comes straight from the core of your heart Hence itrsquos bound to touch us deeply Irsquom

blessed to have you as my inpiration You inspire me to be dedicated Your concern dedi-

cation encouraging highly motivating and supporting nature melts me down Beside my

parents if there is one person who touches me the most then thatrsquos you only You stands

out unique and ultimate one Having you in life is itself a blessing I donrsquot know the bond I

share with you A bond that is capable to make one smile-cry at the same time I wish to

remain tied up in this same bond in all my upcoming births

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

terjee) for thisrsquo) Rishav Is like an elder brother to me and because his dad is yur very good

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

pray all that u desire fall at your feet amp you are overwhelmed with happiness always

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Dhanyawad karna Chahte hai

Dil aapka Komal adaa aapki Katilana

Toh Duji aur Mann Bhavak Ki din prati Din

aapki Taraf Aadar Badhta Hai

Aapki Jaisi Ek Bhatareen aur pyari gayika

Apni pyari Muskaan Se Humare liye Pyar bhare Replies se

Aur Apni Adboot Gayakiy Se humare Shabdo ko Haraya Hai

Aapke Chehre Par Muskaan dekh kar Mano esa lagta hai ki

Hamara Dil Indra Dhanush ke rango Se bhar gaya Hai

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

great human you are I have started valuing so many things in my life just because of you

You inspire me to work hard in life I remember not going to far off places for studies and

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

ing How full of life is ur singing it takes me to the other world Your love for animals has

somehow made me love them more I am sure of this that all those who follow you will

ACT OF LOVEndash Shelly and Arshdeep

Under Shreyarsquos shadow we tried spreading smiles laughter and greenery by

doing few things at our level

We brought 10 saplings and gifted them to few of our friends and

neighbours And also planted some of them in our houses So this way we

tried playing some of our part towards the environment

We took a small cake chocolates and eatables for some unprivileged kids

We spent some time playing football with them and gifted them foot-

balls Those smiles on their faces literally made us so happy

We contributed in the education of Shellyrsquos maidrsquos son who is going to start

his schooling this year We also got him a school bag a pencil box a

lunch box and some other stationery items

THANK YOU SHREYA FOR INTRODUCING ACT OF LOVE IN OUR-

Act Of Lovendash Chiranjeet Kolkata the shinning metro city is known as lsquoThe City of Joyrsquo but a large number of peo-ple live here without any kind of joy Nowadays Kolkata have experienced the worst side of poverty I have always wished to do something for these people but I donrsquot have any kind of power or ability to do some big things so I planned to spend some time with some road-side poor child who are the most unfortunate people because they were born amp grew up on the roads always seeing the other childrenrsquos go to school happy with their parents playing games but they donrsquot know the meaning of school they donrsquot know about games they donrsquot know about education and they donrsquot know about relations I got a dozen of such children on the footpath of Phoolbagan area of Kolkata just outside the Pantaloons mall spent an hour with them got to know them and I gave them food sweets amp chocolates for their lunch I understood one thing that the best feelings of life is when you makes someone happy Though just for a little phase of a day but at least I made them happy for once They donrsquot know anything about culture but they know the language of love like us when I distributed foods among them they smiled at me amp thanked me indirectly which I could feel from my heart In a word it was one of the great-est day and one of the beautiful experience for me Thank you so much Melody Queen (SG) to taught us the actual meaning of Love by your ActOfLove J Its my biggest pleasure to be a part of this holy work

maids daughter who does not go to school She was feeling shy to come and learn I kept

asking her daily and finally she agreed I use to teach one more girl whose parents are la-

borers and even she doesnrsquot go to school She stopped coming as she went to her village

Luckily she has come back and wants to continue with her classes Thank you Shreya di

Act of Love Well everyone knows how brilliant SG is at singing so theres no need for explaining and also theres no appropriate word to describe her talent Shreya Ghoshal - if I take this name I get goosebumps and my heart fills with lots of love and respect for her she is indeed the most beautiful creation of god I have been following SG since Chote Ustad and I got to know the beautiful person behind the beautiful voice Since then I have been exploring SG as a person

Her Philosophies about life became mine Her positive attitude towards life made me positive Her hardworking nature made me ambitious Her idea of act of love made me a Humanitarian Her dedication into whatever she does made me a achiever Her Perfectionism made me realise that I have to work hard to achieve my goals Her Smile Reminds that Every day is a new beginning do your best

The distance between us makes me miss her and hence makes me love her more day by day I think after her parents we the fans are the ones who loves her more than life Im happy to be a fan I love struggling to meetwatch her live preparing for the concert (Charts Placards) saving pocket money for her next concert The struggle does nothing but makes my love for her even more strongerlike never be-foreI can proudly say that my love for Shreya Ghoshal grows as each day passes by I started learning music since I met her first I always wanted to learn music but i needed a push which sg herself gave me Now Im learning music and its about 1 12 years now As a dedication to my inspirationidol this is least I could do as a fan because what she has given us is immeasurable Her voice has been a great support to millions of people emo-tionally I would thank Uncle and Aunty ( sg Parents) more than anyone else for giving us Our Shreya Di Thanky ou SG for Influencing my life and thank you for making me what im to-day ) Thankyou for making me a FORGIVER (This has helped me alot ALOT) Lots and Lots of Never-ending love Ruqaiyah D iSHREYAing

Act of Love ndash A special act to bring smile and ray of hope in the lives of those in need

I was accompanied by Riya Banerjee (riyabanerjee1) and Soumya Das (loveushreyadi)

to carry out this special act We had distributed sarees and sweets among three economi-

cally backward aged lady Two among three ladies were pre-selected We gave away those

materials of daily needs to them at some nearby palces Happiness on their faces were a

treat to see One of them a lady who begs on the foot bridge of a station was reduced to

tears tears of joy That was a priceless treasured moment We were hopping between

stations in search of one more such person All of a sudden a lady begging in a local train

caught our sight She was hardly able to walk As soon as we hand over her that saree and

sweets she was shocked to the core in happiness When something is wished with a pure

heart it has to happen

Later on we went to a nearby primary school having some 22 students from financially

backward families As taken pre-permission from the head of that school we distributed

copies pencils erasers and chocolates among those little students Their excitement were

at the peak The head teacher praised Shreya Ghoshal and us for helping out people in

need

All thanks to our inspiration Shreya Ghoshal for guiding and staying beside us always J

ernment schools they are least bothered to take care of their small needs Itrsquos a free school so their parents simply sending their children to schools without any sufficient

needs I thought of helping them to give books pens and pencils Thank god atleast their parents sending them to schools J

Inspiringrdquo ndash A word that perfectly describes you Your every single act from a little glimpse

of yours your voice your thoughts and literally everything you do is the source of inspi-

ration You and your voice are that virtual force which guides me in my journey of life De-

votion for you comes just like that The way you look up to the world is a lesson for us to

learn You teach us to bring out good from within negativity Word seems too small when

it comes to express what you mean to us You enrich not just my life but everyonersquos you

touches Your sweet humble nature and a generous heart are part of what makes you a

special person For me you your voice and your inspiring personality acts the same way a

glowing candle acts in darkness

I believe inspiration comes from as a person You make this world a better place by just

being you With your love and humbleness you have never let that celebrity barrier built

between us You are a gem of a person and a caring soul I find you beside me in my hard

times Moments spent with you are treasures and most cherished ones With you we ex-

perience that feeling of oneness Whatever you do itrsquos always wrapped with love and

comes straight from the core of your heart Hence itrsquos bound to touch us deeply Irsquom

blessed to have you as my inpiration You inspire me to be dedicated Your concern dedi-

cation encouraging highly motivating and supporting nature melts me down Beside my

parents if there is one person who touches me the most then thatrsquos you only You stands

out unique and ultimate one Having you in life is itself a blessing I donrsquot know the bond I

share with you A bond that is capable to make one smile-cry at the same time I wish to

remain tied up in this same bond in all my upcoming births

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

change yourself you are the best Loads of love to you always

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

ACT OF LOVEndash Shelly and Arshdeep

Under Shreyarsquos shadow we tried spreading smiles laughter and greenery by

doing few things at our level

We brought 10 saplings and gifted them to few of our friends and

neighbours And also planted some of them in our houses So this way we

tried playing some of our part towards the environment

We took a small cake chocolates and eatables for some unprivileged kids

We spent some time playing football with them and gifted them foot-

balls Those smiles on their faces literally made us so happy

We contributed in the education of Shellyrsquos maidrsquos son who is going to start

his schooling this year We also got him a school bag a pencil box a

lunch box and some other stationery items

THANK YOU SHREYA FOR INTRODUCING ACT OF LOVE IN OUR-

LIVES YOU MAKE US A BETTER PERSON LOVE YOU

Chiranjeetndash Act of Love

Act Of Lovendash Chiranjeet Kolkata the shinning metro city is known as lsquoThe City of Joyrsquo but a large number of peo-ple live here without any kind of joy Nowadays Kolkata have experienced the worst side of poverty I have always wished to do something for these people but I donrsquot have any kind of power or ability to do some big things so I planned to spend some time with some road-side poor child who are the most unfortunate people because they were born amp grew up on the roads always seeing the other childrenrsquos go to school happy with their parents playing games but they donrsquot know the meaning of school they donrsquot know about games they donrsquot know about education and they donrsquot know about relations I got a dozen of such children on the footpath of Phoolbagan area of Kolkata just outside the Pantaloons mall spent an hour with them got to know them and I gave them food sweets amp chocolates for their lunch I understood one thing that the best feelings of life is when you makes someone happy Though just for a little phase of a day but at least I made them happy for once They donrsquot know anything about culture but they know the language of love like us when I distributed foods among them they smiled at me amp thanked me indirectly which I could feel from my heart In a word it was one of the great-est day and one of the beautiful experience for me Thank you so much Melody Queen (SG) to taught us the actual meaning of Love by your ActOfLove J Its my biggest pleasure to be a part of this holy work

Act of Love Well everyone knows how brilliant SG is at singing so theres no need for explaining and also theres no appropriate word to describe her talent Shreya Ghoshal - if I take this name I get goosebumps and my heart fills with lots of love and respect for her she is indeed the most beautiful creation of god I have been following SG since Chote Ustad and I got to know the beautiful person behind the beautiful voice Since then I have been exploring SG as a person

Her Philosophies about life became mine Her positive attitude towards life made me positive Her hardworking nature made me ambitious Her idea of act of love made me a Humanitarian Her dedication into whatever she does made me a achiever Her Perfectionism made me realise that I have to work hard to achieve my goals Her Smile Reminds that Every day is a new beginning do your best

The distance between us makes me miss her and hence makes me love her more day by day I think after her parents we the fans are the ones who loves her more than life Im happy to be a fan I love struggling to meetwatch her live preparing for the concert (Charts Placards) saving pocket money for her next concert The struggle does nothing but makes my love for her even more strongerlike never be-foreI can proudly say that my love for Shreya Ghoshal grows as each day passes by I started learning music since I met her first I always wanted to learn music but i needed a push which sg herself gave me Now Im learning music and its about 1 12 years now As a dedication to my inspirationidol this is least I could do as a fan because what she has given us is immeasurable Her voice has been a great support to millions of people emo-tionally I would thank Uncle and Aunty ( sg Parents) more than anyone else for giving us Our Shreya Di Thanky ou SG for Influencing my life and thank you for making me what im to-day ) Thankyou for making me a FORGIVER (This has helped me alot ALOT) Lots and Lots of Never-ending love Ruqaiyah D iSHREYAing

Act of Love ndash A special act to bring smile and ray of hope in the lives of those in need

I was accompanied by Riya Banerjee (riyabanerjee1) and Soumya Das (loveushreyadi)

to carry out this special act We had distributed sarees and sweets among three economi-

cally backward aged lady Two among three ladies were pre-selected We gave away those

materials of daily needs to them at some nearby palces Happiness on their faces were a

treat to see One of them a lady who begs on the foot bridge of a station was reduced to

tears tears of joy That was a priceless treasured moment We were hopping between

stations in search of one more such person All of a sudden a lady begging in a local train

caught our sight She was hardly able to walk As soon as we hand over her that saree and

sweets she was shocked to the core in happiness When something is wished with a pure

heart it has to happen

Later on we went to a nearby primary school having some 22 students from financially

backward families As taken pre-permission from the head of that school we distributed

copies pencils erasers and chocolates among those little students Their excitement were

at the peak The head teacher praised Shreya Ghoshal and us for helping out people in

need

All thanks to our inspiration Shreya Ghoshal for guiding and staying beside us always J

You influence you inspire

Inspiringrdquo ndash A word that perfectly describes you Your every single act from a little glimpse

of yours your voice your thoughts and literally everything you do is the source of inspi-

ration You and your voice are that virtual force which guides me in my journey of life De-

votion for you comes just like that The way you look up to the world is a lesson for us to

learn You teach us to bring out good from within negativity Word seems too small when

it comes to express what you mean to us You enrich not just my life but everyonersquos you

touches Your sweet humble nature and a generous heart are part of what makes you a

special person For me you your voice and your inspiring personality acts the same way a

glowing candle acts in darkness

I believe inspiration comes from as a person You make this world a better place by just

being you With your love and humbleness you have never let that celebrity barrier built

between us You are a gem of a person and a caring soul I find you beside me in my hard

times Moments spent with you are treasures and most cherished ones With you we ex-

perience that feeling of oneness Whatever you do itrsquos always wrapped with love and

comes straight from the core of your heart Hence itrsquos bound to touch us deeply Irsquom

blessed to have you as my inpiration You inspire me to be dedicated Your concern dedi-

cation encouraging highly motivating and supporting nature melts me down Beside my

parents if there is one person who touches me the most then thatrsquos you only You stands

out unique and ultimate one Having you in life is itself a blessing I donrsquot know the bond I

share with you A bond that is capable to make one smile-cry at the same time I wish to

remain tied up in this same bond in all my upcoming births

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

Poemndash Parthiv

எது இனிது

குழல இனிதாம

யாழ இனிதாம

மழலை மமாழி அவறறினும இனிதாம

பாவம வளளுவன

என மெயவான

Which is sweeter

Meaning

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

ACT OF LOVEndash Shelly and Arshdeep

Under Shreyarsquos shadow we tried spreading smiles laughter and greenery by

doing few things at our level

We brought 10 saplings and gifted them to few of our friends and

neighbours And also planted some of them in our houses So this way we

tried playing some of our part towards the environment

We took a small cake chocolates and eatables for some unprivileged kids

We spent some time playing football with them and gifted them foot-

balls Those smiles on their faces literally made us so happy

We contributed in the education of Shellyrsquos maidrsquos son who is going to start

his schooling this year We also got him a school bag a pencil box a

lunch box and some other stationery items

THANK YOU SHREYA FOR INTRODUCING ACT OF LOVE IN OUR-

Act Of Lovendash Chiranjeet Kolkata the shinning metro city is known as lsquoThe City of Joyrsquo but a large number of peo-ple live here without any kind of joy Nowadays Kolkata have experienced the worst side of poverty I have always wished to do something for these people but I donrsquot have any kind of power or ability to do some big things so I planned to spend some time with some road-side poor child who are the most unfortunate people because they were born amp grew up on the roads always seeing the other childrenrsquos go to school happy with their parents playing games but they donrsquot know the meaning of school they donrsquot know about games they donrsquot know about education and they donrsquot know about relations I got a dozen of such children on the footpath of Phoolbagan area of Kolkata just outside the Pantaloons mall spent an hour with them got to know them and I gave them food sweets amp chocolates for their lunch I understood one thing that the best feelings of life is when you makes someone happy Though just for a little phase of a day but at least I made them happy for once They donrsquot know anything about culture but they know the language of love like us when I distributed foods among them they smiled at me amp thanked me indirectly which I could feel from my heart In a word it was one of the great-est day and one of the beautiful experience for me Thank you so much Melody Queen (SG) to taught us the actual meaning of Love by your ActOfLove J Its my biggest pleasure to be a part of this holy work

The distance between us makes me miss her and hence makes me love her more day by day I think after her parents we the fans are the ones who loves her more than life Im happy to be a fan I love struggling to meetwatch her live preparing for the concert (Charts Placards) saving pocket money for her next concert The struggle does nothing but makes my love for her even more strongerlike never be-foreI can proudly say that my love for Shreya Ghoshal grows as each day passes by I started learning music since I met her first I always wanted to learn music but i needed a push which sg herself gave me Now Im learning music and its about 1 12 years now As a dedication to my inspirationidol this is least I could do as a fan because what she has given us is immeasurable Her voice has been a great support to millions of people emo-tionally I would thank Uncle and Aunty ( sg Parents) more than anyone else for giving us Our Shreya Di Thanky ou SG for Influencing my life and thank you for making me what im to-day ) Thankyou for making me a FORGIVER (This has helped me alot ALOT) Lots and Lots of Never-ending love Ruqaiyah D iSHREYAing

Act of Love ndash A special act to bring smile and ray of hope in the lives of those in need

I was accompanied by Riya Banerjee (riyabanerjee1) and Soumya Das (loveushreyadi)

to carry out this special act We had distributed sarees and sweets among three economi-

cally backward aged lady Two among three ladies were pre-selected We gave away those

materials of daily needs to them at some nearby palces Happiness on their faces were a

treat to see One of them a lady who begs on the foot bridge of a station was reduced to

tears tears of joy That was a priceless treasured moment We were hopping between

stations in search of one more such person All of a sudden a lady begging in a local train

caught our sight She was hardly able to walk As soon as we hand over her that saree and

sweets she was shocked to the core in happiness When something is wished with a pure

heart it has to happen

Later on we went to a nearby primary school having some 22 students from financially

backward families As taken pre-permission from the head of that school we distributed

copies pencils erasers and chocolates among those little students Their excitement were

at the peak The head teacher praised Shreya Ghoshal and us for helping out people in

need

All thanks to our inspiration Shreya Ghoshal for guiding and staying beside us always J

of yours your voice your thoughts and literally everything you do is the source of inspi-

ration You and your voice are that virtual force which guides me in my journey of life De-

votion for you comes just like that The way you look up to the world is a lesson for us to

learn You teach us to bring out good from within negativity Word seems too small when

it comes to express what you mean to us You enrich not just my life but everyonersquos you

touches Your sweet humble nature and a generous heart are part of what makes you a

special person For me you your voice and your inspiring personality acts the same way a

glowing candle acts in darkness

being you With your love and humbleness you have never let that celebrity barrier built

between us You are a gem of a person and a caring soul I find you beside me in my hard

times Moments spent with you are treasures and most cherished ones With you we ex-

perience that feeling of oneness Whatever you do itrsquos always wrapped with love and

comes straight from the core of your heart Hence itrsquos bound to touch us deeply Irsquom

blessed to have you as my inpiration You inspire me to be dedicated Your concern dedi-

cation encouraging highly motivating and supporting nature melts me down Beside my

parents if there is one person who touches me the most then thatrsquos you only You stands

out unique and ultimate one Having you in life is itself a blessing I donrsquot know the bond I

share with you A bond that is capable to make one smile-cry at the same time I wish to

remain tied up in this same bond in all my upcoming births

Firstly a very very happy birthday to you Wish you a very prosperous and more successful

year ahead May God fulfill all your wishes

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

change yourself you are the best Loads of love to you always

Happy birthday Shreya Ghoshal

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Anamika(p53c)

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

ACT OF LOVEndash Shelly and Arshdeep

Under Shreyarsquos shadow we tried spreading smiles laughter and greenery by

doing few things at our level

We brought 10 saplings and gifted them to few of our friends and

neighbours And also planted some of them in our houses So this way we

tried playing some of our part towards the environment

We took a small cake chocolates and eatables for some unprivileged kids

We spent some time playing football with them and gifted them foot-

balls Those smiles on their faces literally made us so happy

We contributed in the education of Shellyrsquos maidrsquos son who is going to start

his schooling this year We also got him a school bag a pencil box a

lunch box and some other stationery items

THANK YOU SHREYA FOR INTRODUCING ACT OF LOVE IN OUR-

The distance between us makes me miss her and hence makes me love her more day by day I think after her parents we the fans are the ones who loves her more than life Im happy to be a fan I love struggling to meetwatch her live preparing for the concert (Charts Placards) saving pocket money for her next concert The struggle does nothing but makes my love for her even more strongerlike never be-foreI can proudly say that my love for Shreya Ghoshal grows as each day passes by I started learning music since I met her first I always wanted to learn music but i needed a push which sg herself gave me Now Im learning music and its about 1 12 years now As a dedication to my inspirationidol this is least I could do as a fan because what she has given us is immeasurable Her voice has been a great support to millions of people emo-tionally I would thank Uncle and Aunty ( sg Parents) more than anyone else for giving us Our Shreya Di Thanky ou SG for Influencing my life and thank you for making me what im to-day ) Thankyou for making me a FORGIVER (This has helped me alot ALOT) Lots and Lots of Never-ending love Ruqaiyah D iSHREYAing

Act of Love ndash A special act to bring smile and ray of hope in the lives of those in need

I was accompanied by Riya Banerjee (riyabanerjee1) and Soumya Das (loveushreyadi)

to carry out this special act We had distributed sarees and sweets among three economi-

cally backward aged lady Two among three ladies were pre-selected We gave away those

materials of daily needs to them at some nearby palces Happiness on their faces were a

treat to see One of them a lady who begs on the foot bridge of a station was reduced to

tears tears of joy That was a priceless treasured moment We were hopping between

stations in search of one more such person All of a sudden a lady begging in a local train

caught our sight She was hardly able to walk As soon as we hand over her that saree and

sweets she was shocked to the core in happiness When something is wished with a pure

heart it has to happen

Later on we went to a nearby primary school having some 22 students from financially

backward families As taken pre-permission from the head of that school we distributed

copies pencils erasers and chocolates among those little students Their excitement were

at the peak The head teacher praised Shreya Ghoshal and us for helping out people in

need

All thanks to our inspiration Shreya Ghoshal for guiding and staying beside us always J

of yours your voice your thoughts and literally everything you do is the source of inspi-

ration You and your voice are that virtual force which guides me in my journey of life De-

votion for you comes just like that The way you look up to the world is a lesson for us to

between us You are a gem of a person and a caring soul I find you beside me in my hard

times Moments spent with you are treasures and most cherished ones With you we ex-

perience that feeling of oneness Whatever you do itrsquos always wrapped with love and

comes straight from the core of your heart Hence itrsquos bound to touch us deeply Irsquom

cation encouraging highly motivating and supporting nature melts me down Beside my

parents if there is one person who touches me the most then thatrsquos you only You stands

out unique and ultimate one Having you in life is itself a blessing I donrsquot know the bond I

share with you A bond that is capable to make one smile-cry at the same time I wish to

remain tied up in this same bond in all my upcoming births

Musician ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo because of the person she is ndash Dedicated Grounded Selfless

Respectful Lovable Long back when I heard her voice I fell in Love with it and became a

fan only after becoming a fan I came to know more about her through interviews arti-

cles and thatrsquos when from a Shreya Ghoshal ldquofanrdquo I became a Shreya Ghoshal ldquoDevoteerdquo

Her life being the example has thought me

Give your best shot in whatever you do

Never run behind success

Be Focused

Enjoy what you do

Never give up

Expect less

Never let success reach your head

Be Happy

Be Selfless

However good you maybe there is always scope for improvement

Thatrsquos what has inspired me

I stay in a hostel there are times when I am sad feel lonely miss home but there is al-

ways this one person who is there by my side and lift ups my mood through her mu-

sic or just by her tweets Thank you so Much Shreya di you will always be someone I

look upto Love you

25th July 2013 was when I 1st met her at Joy Alukkas Dubai and just in 10 minutes meet I

realized there is no sweeter person then her

Shreya Ghoshal you are the BEST

year ahead May God fulfill all your wishes

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

change yourself you are the best Loads of love to you always

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Anamika(p53c)

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

Poemndash Parthiv

எது இனிது

குழல இனிதாம

யாழ இனிதாம

மழலை மமாழி அவறறினும இனிதாம

பாவம வளளுவன

என மெயவான

உன குரல கேடடதிலலை கபாலும

Which is sweeter

Meaning

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

Act Of Lovendash Chiranjeet Kolkata the shinning metro city is known as lsquoThe City of Joyrsquo but a large number of peo-ple live here without any kind of joy Nowadays Kolkata have experienced the worst side of poverty I have always wished to do something for these people but I donrsquot have any kind of power or ability to do some big things so I planned to spend some time with some road-side poor child who are the most unfortunate people because they were born amp grew up on the roads always seeing the other childrenrsquos go to school happy with their parents playing games but they donrsquot know the meaning of school they donrsquot know about games they donrsquot know about education and they donrsquot know about relations I got a dozen of such children on the footpath of Phoolbagan area of Kolkata just outside the Pantaloons mall spent an hour with them got to know them and I gave them food sweets amp chocolates for their lunch I understood one thing that the best feelings of life is when you makes someone happy Though just for a little phase of a day but at least I made them happy for once They donrsquot know anything about culture but they know the language of love like us when I distributed foods among them they smiled at me amp thanked me indirectly which I could feel from my heart In a word it was one of the great-est day and one of the beautiful experience for me Thank you so much Melody Queen (SG) to taught us the actual meaning of Love by your ActOfLove J Its my biggest pleasure to be a part of this holy work

Act of Love Well everyone knows how brilliant SG is at singing so theres no need for explaining and also theres no appropriate word to describe her talent Shreya Ghoshal - if I take this name I get goosebumps and my heart fills with lots of love and respect for her she is indeed the most beautiful creation of god I have been following SG since Chote Ustad and I got to know the beautiful person behind the beautiful voice Since then I have been exploring SG as a person

Her Philosophies about life became mine Her positive attitude towards life made me positive Her hardworking nature made me ambitious Her idea of act of love made me a Humanitarian Her dedication into whatever she does made me a achiever Her Perfectionism made me realise that I have to work hard to achieve my goals Her Smile Reminds that Every day is a new beginning do your best

The distance between us makes me miss her and hence makes me love her more day by day I think after her parents we the fans are the ones who loves her more than life Im happy to be a fan I love struggling to meetwatch her live preparing for the concert (Charts Placards) saving pocket money for her next concert The struggle does nothing but makes my love for her even more strongerlike never be-foreI can proudly say that my love for Shreya Ghoshal grows as each day passes by I started learning music since I met her first I always wanted to learn music but i needed a push which sg herself gave me Now Im learning music and its about 1 12 years now As a dedication to my inspirationidol this is least I could do as a fan because what she has given us is immeasurable Her voice has been a great support to millions of people emo-tionally I would thank Uncle and Aunty ( sg Parents) more than anyone else for giving us Our Shreya Di Thanky ou SG for Influencing my life and thank you for making me what im to-day ) Thankyou for making me a FORGIVER (This has helped me alot ALOT) Lots and Lots of Never-ending love Ruqaiyah D iSHREYAing

Act of Love ndash A special act to bring smile and ray of hope in the lives of those in need

I was accompanied by Riya Banerjee (riyabanerjee1) and Soumya Das (loveushreyadi)

to carry out this special act We had distributed sarees and sweets among three economi-

cally backward aged lady Two among three ladies were pre-selected We gave away those

materials of daily needs to them at some nearby palces Happiness on their faces were a

treat to see One of them a lady who begs on the foot bridge of a station was reduced to

tears tears of joy That was a priceless treasured moment We were hopping between

stations in search of one more such person All of a sudden a lady begging in a local train

caught our sight She was hardly able to walk As soon as we hand over her that saree and

sweets she was shocked to the core in happiness When something is wished with a pure

heart it has to happen

Later on we went to a nearby primary school having some 22 students from financially

backward families As taken pre-permission from the head of that school we distributed

copies pencils erasers and chocolates among those little students Their excitement were

at the peak The head teacher praised Shreya Ghoshal and us for helping out people in

need

All thanks to our inspiration Shreya Ghoshal for guiding and staying beside us always J

do such a good things

I did small Act of Love I helped people in a small way

Giving books pencils pens erasers and sharpeners to the people Because I have asked them about their needs They facing problems that they donrsquot have books to write In gov-

ernment schools they are least bothered to take care of their small needs Itrsquos a free school so their parents simply sending their children to schools without any sufficient

needs I thought of helping them to give books pens and pencils Thank god atleast their parents sending them to schools J

Hope I will do many act of love in future J

So proud of you So proud to be SGian J

Thank you so much for everything SHREYA J Love you lt3

Inspiringrdquo ndash A word that perfectly describes you Your every single act from a little glimpse

of yours your voice your thoughts and literally everything you do is the source of inspi-

ration You and your voice are that virtual force which guides me in my journey of life De-

votion for you comes just like that The way you look up to the world is a lesson for us to

learn You teach us to bring out good from within negativity Word seems too small when

it comes to express what you mean to us You enrich not just my life but everyonersquos you

touches Your sweet humble nature and a generous heart are part of what makes you a

special person For me you your voice and your inspiring personality acts the same way a

glowing candle acts in darkness

I believe inspiration comes from as a person You make this world a better place by just

being you With your love and humbleness you have never let that celebrity barrier built

between us You are a gem of a person and a caring soul I find you beside me in my hard

times Moments spent with you are treasures and most cherished ones With you we ex-

perience that feeling of oneness Whatever you do itrsquos always wrapped with love and

comes straight from the core of your heart Hence itrsquos bound to touch us deeply Irsquom

blessed to have you as my inpiration You inspire me to be dedicated Your concern dedi-

cation encouraging highly motivating and supporting nature melts me down Beside my

parents if there is one person who touches me the most then thatrsquos you only You stands

out unique and ultimate one Having you in life is itself a blessing I donrsquot know the bond I

share with you A bond that is capable to make one smile-cry at the same time I wish to

remain tied up in this same bond in all my upcoming births

Shreya Ghoshal My Inspiration ndash

Shreya Ghoshal is the name who has Inspired Millions and I am one of those Millions

I am a Dental Student a passionate dancer nowhere connected to Music but My Idol is a

Musician ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo because of the person she is ndash Dedicated Grounded Selfless

Respectful Lovable Long back when I heard her voice I fell in Love with it and became a

fan only after becoming a fan I came to know more about her through interviews arti-

cles and thatrsquos when from a Shreya Ghoshal ldquofanrdquo I became a Shreya Ghoshal ldquoDevoteerdquo

Her life being the example has thought me

Give your best shot in whatever you do

Never run behind success

Be Focused

Enjoy what you do

Never give up

Expect less

Never let success reach your head

Be Happy

Be Selfless

However good you maybe there is always scope for improvement

Thatrsquos what has inspired me

I stay in a hostel there are times when I am sad feel lonely miss home but there is al-

ways this one person who is there by my side and lift ups my mood through her mu-

sic or just by her tweets Thank you so Much Shreya di you will always be someone I

look upto Love you

year ahead May God fulfill all your wishes

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

change yourself you are the best Loads of love to you always

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Anamika(p53c)

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

stantly My love and madness for u grew with time today Irsquom 15 and I have reached the

extreme limit I love you more than anyone can love anyone in this world And oh yusss Irsquom

exactly half your age nowP I have been lucky enough to have an encounter with GOD

on earth I remember that day very well ur touch is divine I experienced heaven 29th

July2013 The best day of my life I am so greatful to rishav and his dad (bishwadeep Chat-

terjee) for thisrsquo) Rishav Is like an elder brother to me and because his dad is yur very good

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

pray all that u desire fall at your feet amp you are overwhelmed with happiness always

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

remember being a music lover since childhood and I feel fortunate to be born in this era

where you sing Your every tweet interviews your meets with your fans has made me

learn so much Its not because you are a celebrity that I follow you its because of the

great human you are I have started valuing so many things in my life just because of you

You inspire me to work hard in life I remember not going to far off places for studies and

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

ing How full of life is ur singing it takes me to the other world Your love for animals has

somehow made me love them more I am sure of this that all those who follow you will

reach heights one day and will be as wonderful as you are Thank You for being there in

Komalndash Act of Love

For my act of love I decided to make a positive difference to someones life and teach my

maids daughter who does not go to school She was feeling shy to come and learn I kept

asking her daily and finally she agreed I use to teach one more girl whose parents are la-

borers and even she doesnrsquot go to school She stopped coming as she went to her village

Luckily she has come back and wants to continue with her classes Thank you Shreya di

Since long I wanted to start this and finally I could do Love you

Act of Love Well everyone knows how brilliant SG is at singing so theres no need for explaining and also theres no appropriate word to describe her talent Shreya Ghoshal - if I take this name I get goosebumps and my heart fills with lots of love and respect for her she is indeed the most beautiful creation of god I have been following SG since Chote Ustad and I got to know the beautiful person behind the beautiful voice Since then I have been exploring SG as a person

Her Philosophies about life became mine Her positive attitude towards life made me positive Her hardworking nature made me ambitious Her idea of act of love made me a Humanitarian Her dedication into whatever she does made me a achiever Her Perfectionism made me realise that I have to work hard to achieve my goals Her Smile Reminds that Every day is a new beginning do your best

The distance between us makes me miss her and hence makes me love her more day by day I think after her parents we the fans are the ones who loves her more than life Im happy to be a fan I love struggling to meetwatch her live preparing for the concert (Charts Placards) saving pocket money for her next concert The struggle does nothing but makes my love for her even more strongerlike never be-foreI can proudly say that my love for Shreya Ghoshal grows as each day passes by I started learning music since I met her first I always wanted to learn music but i needed a push which sg herself gave me Now Im learning music and its about 1 12 years now As a dedication to my inspirationidol this is least I could do as a fan because what she has given us is immeasurable Her voice has been a great support to millions of people emo-tionally I would thank Uncle and Aunty ( sg Parents) more than anyone else for giving us Our Shreya Di Thanky ou SG for Influencing my life and thank you for making me what im to-day ) Thankyou for making me a FORGIVER (This has helped me alot ALOT) Lots and Lots of Never-ending love Ruqaiyah D iSHREYAing

Act of Love ndash A special act to bring smile and ray of hope in the lives of those in need

I was accompanied by Riya Banerjee (riyabanerjee1) and Soumya Das (loveushreyadi)

to carry out this special act We had distributed sarees and sweets among three economi-

cally backward aged lady Two among three ladies were pre-selected We gave away those

materials of daily needs to them at some nearby palces Happiness on their faces were a

treat to see One of them a lady who begs on the foot bridge of a station was reduced to

tears tears of joy That was a priceless treasured moment We were hopping between

stations in search of one more such person All of a sudden a lady begging in a local train

caught our sight She was hardly able to walk As soon as we hand over her that saree and

sweets she was shocked to the core in happiness When something is wished with a pure

heart it has to happen

Later on we went to a nearby primary school having some 22 students from financially

backward families As taken pre-permission from the head of that school we distributed

copies pencils erasers and chocolates among those little students Their excitement were

at the peak The head teacher praised Shreya Ghoshal and us for helping out people in

need

All thanks to our inspiration Shreya Ghoshal for guiding and staying beside us always J

Inspiringrdquo ndash A word that perfectly describes you Your every single act from a little glimpse

of yours your voice your thoughts and literally everything you do is the source of inspi-

ration You and your voice are that virtual force which guides me in my journey of life De-

votion for you comes just like that The way you look up to the world is a lesson for us to

learn You teach us to bring out good from within negativity Word seems too small when

it comes to express what you mean to us You enrich not just my life but everyonersquos you

touches Your sweet humble nature and a generous heart are part of what makes you a

special person For me you your voice and your inspiring personality acts the same way a

glowing candle acts in darkness

I believe inspiration comes from as a person You make this world a better place by just

being you With your love and humbleness you have never let that celebrity barrier built

between us You are a gem of a person and a caring soul I find you beside me in my hard

times Moments spent with you are treasures and most cherished ones With you we ex-

perience that feeling of oneness Whatever you do itrsquos always wrapped with love and

comes straight from the core of your heart Hence itrsquos bound to touch us deeply Irsquom

blessed to have you as my inpiration You inspire me to be dedicated Your concern dedi-

cation encouraging highly motivating and supporting nature melts me down Beside my

parents if there is one person who touches me the most then thatrsquos you only You stands

out unique and ultimate one Having you in life is itself a blessing I donrsquot know the bond I

share with you A bond that is capable to make one smile-cry at the same time I wish to

remain tied up in this same bond in all my upcoming births

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

July2013 The best day of my life I am so greatful to rishav and his dad (bishwadeep Chat-

terjee) for thisrsquo) Rishav Is like an elder brother to me and because his dad is yur very good

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

pray all that u desire fall at your feet amp you are overwhelmed with happiness always

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Apni pyari Muskaan Se Humare liye Pyar bhare Replies se

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

learn so much Its not because you are a celebrity that I follow you its because of the

great human you are I have started valuing so many things in my life just because of you

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

ing How full of life is ur singing it takes me to the other world Your love for animals has

somehow made me love them more I am sure of this that all those who follow you will

reach heights one day and will be as wonderful as you are Thank You for being there in

Ruqaiyahndash Act of Love

Act of Love Well everyone knows how brilliant SG is at singing so theres no need for explaining and also theres no appropriate word to describe her talent Shreya Ghoshal - if I take this name I get goosebumps and my heart fills with lots of love and respect for her she is indeed the most beautiful creation of god I have been following SG since Chote Ustad and I got to know the beautiful person behind the beautiful voice Since then I have been exploring SG as a person

Her Philosophies about life became mine Her positive attitude towards life made me positive Her hardworking nature made me ambitious Her idea of act of love made me a Humanitarian Her dedication into whatever she does made me a achiever Her Perfectionism made me realise that I have to work hard to achieve my goals Her Smile Reminds that Every day is a new beginning do your best

The distance between us makes me miss her and hence makes me love her more day by day I think after her parents we the fans are the ones who loves her more than life Im happy to be a fan I love struggling to meetwatch her live preparing for the concert (Charts Placards) saving pocket money for her next concert The struggle does nothing but makes my love for her even more strongerlike never be-foreI can proudly say that my love for Shreya Ghoshal grows as each day passes by I started learning music since I met her first I always wanted to learn music but i needed a push which sg herself gave me Now Im learning music and its about 1 12 years now As a dedication to my inspirationidol this is least I could do as a fan because what she has given us is immeasurable Her voice has been a great support to millions of people emo-tionally I would thank Uncle and Aunty ( sg Parents) more than anyone else for giving us Our Shreya Di Thanky ou SG for Influencing my life and thank you for making me what im to-day ) Thankyou for making me a FORGIVER (This has helped me alot ALOT) Lots and Lots of Never-ending love Ruqaiyah D iSHREYAing

Act of Love ndash A special act to bring smile and ray of hope in the lives of those in need

I was accompanied by Riya Banerjee (riyabanerjee1) and Soumya Das (loveushreyadi)

to carry out this special act We had distributed sarees and sweets among three economi-

cally backward aged lady Two among three ladies were pre-selected We gave away those

materials of daily needs to them at some nearby palces Happiness on their faces were a

treat to see One of them a lady who begs on the foot bridge of a station was reduced to

tears tears of joy That was a priceless treasured moment We were hopping between

stations in search of one more such person All of a sudden a lady begging in a local train

caught our sight She was hardly able to walk As soon as we hand over her that saree and

sweets she was shocked to the core in happiness When something is wished with a pure

heart it has to happen

Later on we went to a nearby primary school having some 22 students from financially

backward families As taken pre-permission from the head of that school we distributed

copies pencils erasers and chocolates among those little students Their excitement were

at the peak The head teacher praised Shreya Ghoshal and us for helping out people in

need

All thanks to our inspiration Shreya Ghoshal for guiding and staying beside us always J

Inspiringrdquo ndash A word that perfectly describes you Your every single act from a little glimpse

of yours your voice your thoughts and literally everything you do is the source of inspi-

ration You and your voice are that virtual force which guides me in my journey of life De-

votion for you comes just like that The way you look up to the world is a lesson for us to

learn You teach us to bring out good from within negativity Word seems too small when

it comes to express what you mean to us You enrich not just my life but everyonersquos you

touches Your sweet humble nature and a generous heart are part of what makes you a

special person For me you your voice and your inspiring personality acts the same way a

glowing candle acts in darkness

I believe inspiration comes from as a person You make this world a better place by just

being you With your love and humbleness you have never let that celebrity barrier built

between us You are a gem of a person and a caring soul I find you beside me in my hard

times Moments spent with you are treasures and most cherished ones With you we ex-

perience that feeling of oneness Whatever you do itrsquos always wrapped with love and

comes straight from the core of your heart Hence itrsquos bound to touch us deeply Irsquom

blessed to have you as my inpiration You inspire me to be dedicated Your concern dedi-

cation encouraging highly motivating and supporting nature melts me down Beside my

parents if there is one person who touches me the most then thatrsquos you only You stands

out unique and ultimate one Having you in life is itself a blessing I donrsquot know the bond I

share with you A bond that is capable to make one smile-cry at the same time I wish to

remain tied up in this same bond in all my upcoming births

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

Ruqaiyahndash Act of Love

Act of Love Well everyone knows how brilliant SG is at singing so theres no need for explaining and also theres no appropriate word to describe her talent Shreya Ghoshal - if I take this name I get goosebumps and my heart fills with lots of love and respect for her she is indeed the most beautiful creation of god I have been following SG since Chote Ustad and I got to know the beautiful person behind the beautiful voice Since then I have been exploring SG as a person

Her Philosophies about life became mine Her positive attitude towards life made me positive Her hardworking nature made me ambitious Her idea of act of love made me a Humanitarian Her dedication into whatever she does made me a achiever Her Perfectionism made me realise that I have to work hard to achieve my goals Her Smile Reminds that Every day is a new beginning do your best

The distance between us makes me miss her and hence makes me love her more day by day I think after her parents we the fans are the ones who loves her more than life Im happy to be a fan I love struggling to meetwatch her live preparing for the concert (Charts Placards) saving pocket money for her next concert The struggle does nothing but makes my love for her even more strongerlike never be-foreI can proudly say that my love for Shreya Ghoshal grows as each day passes by I started learning music since I met her first I always wanted to learn music but i needed a push which sg herself gave me Now Im learning music and its about 1 12 years now As a dedication to my inspirationidol this is least I could do as a fan because what she has given us is immeasurable Her voice has been a great support to millions of people emo-tionally I would thank Uncle and Aunty ( sg Parents) more than anyone else for giving us Our Shreya Di Thanky ou SG for Influencing my life and thank you for making me what im to-day ) Thankyou for making me a FORGIVER (This has helped me alot ALOT) Lots and Lots of Never-ending love Ruqaiyah D iSHREYAing

Act of Love ndash A special act to bring smile and ray of hope in the lives of those in need

I was accompanied by Riya Banerjee (riyabanerjee1) and Soumya Das (loveushreyadi)

to carry out this special act We had distributed sarees and sweets among three economi-

cally backward aged lady Two among three ladies were pre-selected We gave away those

materials of daily needs to them at some nearby palces Happiness on their faces were a

treat to see One of them a lady who begs on the foot bridge of a station was reduced to

tears tears of joy That was a priceless treasured moment We were hopping between

stations in search of one more such person All of a sudden a lady begging in a local train

caught our sight She was hardly able to walk As soon as we hand over her that saree and

sweets she was shocked to the core in happiness When something is wished with a pure

heart it has to happen

Later on we went to a nearby primary school having some 22 students from financially

backward families As taken pre-permission from the head of that school we distributed

copies pencils erasers and chocolates among those little students Their excitement were

at the peak The head teacher praised Shreya Ghoshal and us for helping out people in

need

All thanks to our inspiration Shreya Ghoshal for guiding and staying beside us always J

Giving books pencils pens erasers and sharpeners to the people Because I have asked them about their needs They facing problems that they donrsquot have books to write In gov-

ernment schools they are least bothered to take care of their small needs Itrsquos a free school so their parents simply sending their children to schools without any sufficient

needs I thought of helping them to give books pens and pencils Thank god atleast their parents sending them to schools J

Hope I will do many act of love in future J

Inspiringrdquo ndash A word that perfectly describes you Your every single act from a little glimpse

of yours your voice your thoughts and literally everything you do is the source of inspi-

ration You and your voice are that virtual force which guides me in my journey of life De-

votion for you comes just like that The way you look up to the world is a lesson for us to

learn You teach us to bring out good from within negativity Word seems too small when

it comes to express what you mean to us You enrich not just my life but everyonersquos you

touches Your sweet humble nature and a generous heart are part of what makes you a

special person For me you your voice and your inspiring personality acts the same way a

glowing candle acts in darkness

I believe inspiration comes from as a person You make this world a better place by just

being you With your love and humbleness you have never let that celebrity barrier built

between us You are a gem of a person and a caring soul I find you beside me in my hard

times Moments spent with you are treasures and most cherished ones With you we ex-

perience that feeling of oneness Whatever you do itrsquos always wrapped with love and

comes straight from the core of your heart Hence itrsquos bound to touch us deeply Irsquom

blessed to have you as my inpiration You inspire me to be dedicated Your concern dedi-

cation encouraging highly motivating and supporting nature melts me down Beside my

parents if there is one person who touches me the most then thatrsquos you only You stands

out unique and ultimate one Having you in life is itself a blessing I donrsquot know the bond I

share with you A bond that is capable to make one smile-cry at the same time I wish to

remain tied up in this same bond in all my upcoming births

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

எது இனிது

குழல இனிதாம

யாழ இனிதாம

மழலை மமாழி அவறறினும இனிதாம

பாவம வளளுவன

Which is sweeter

Meaning

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

Act of Love Well everyone knows how brilliant SG is at singing so theres no need for explaining and also theres no appropriate word to describe her talent Shreya Ghoshal - if I take this name I get goosebumps and my heart fills with lots of love and respect for her she is indeed the most beautiful creation of god I have been following SG since Chote Ustad and I got to know the beautiful person behind the beautiful voice Since then I have been exploring SG as a person

Her Philosophies about life became mine Her positive attitude towards life made me positive Her hardworking nature made me ambitious Her idea of act of love made me a Humanitarian Her dedication into whatever she does made me a achiever Her Perfectionism made me realise that I have to work hard to achieve my goals Her Smile Reminds that Every day is a new beginning do your best

The distance between us makes me miss her and hence makes me love her more day by day I think after her parents we the fans are the ones who loves her more than life Im happy to be a fan I love struggling to meetwatch her live preparing for the concert (Charts Placards) saving pocket money for her next concert The struggle does nothing but makes my love for her even more strongerlike never be-foreI can proudly say that my love for Shreya Ghoshal grows as each day passes by I started learning music since I met her first I always wanted to learn music but i needed a push which sg herself gave me Now Im learning music and its about 1 12 years now As a dedication to my inspirationidol this is least I could do as a fan because what she has given us is immeasurable Her voice has been a great support to millions of people emo-tionally I would thank Uncle and Aunty ( sg Parents) more than anyone else for giving us Our Shreya Di Thanky ou SG for Influencing my life and thank you for making me what im to-day ) Thankyou for making me a FORGIVER (This has helped me alot ALOT) Lots and Lots of Never-ending love Ruqaiyah D iSHREYAing

Act of Love ndash A special act to bring smile and ray of hope in the lives of those in need

I was accompanied by Riya Banerjee (riyabanerjee1) and Soumya Das (loveushreyadi)

to carry out this special act We had distributed sarees and sweets among three economi-

cally backward aged lady Two among three ladies were pre-selected We gave away those

materials of daily needs to them at some nearby palces Happiness on their faces were a

treat to see One of them a lady who begs on the foot bridge of a station was reduced to

tears tears of joy That was a priceless treasured moment We were hopping between

stations in search of one more such person All of a sudden a lady begging in a local train

caught our sight She was hardly able to walk As soon as we hand over her that saree and

sweets she was shocked to the core in happiness When something is wished with a pure

heart it has to happen

Later on we went to a nearby primary school having some 22 students from financially

backward families As taken pre-permission from the head of that school we distributed

copies pencils erasers and chocolates among those little students Their excitement were

at the peak The head teacher praised Shreya Ghoshal and us for helping out people in

need

All thanks to our inspiration Shreya Ghoshal for guiding and staying beside us always J

ernment schools they are least bothered to take care of their small needs Itrsquos a free school so their parents simply sending their children to schools without any sufficient

Inspiringrdquo ndash A word that perfectly describes you Your every single act from a little glimpse

of yours your voice your thoughts and literally everything you do is the source of inspi-

ration You and your voice are that virtual force which guides me in my journey of life De-

votion for you comes just like that The way you look up to the world is a lesson for us to

learn You teach us to bring out good from within negativity Word seems too small when

it comes to express what you mean to us You enrich not just my life but everyonersquos you

touches Your sweet humble nature and a generous heart are part of what makes you a

special person For me you your voice and your inspiring personality acts the same way a

glowing candle acts in darkness

I believe inspiration comes from as a person You make this world a better place by just

being you With your love and humbleness you have never let that celebrity barrier built

between us You are a gem of a person and a caring soul I find you beside me in my hard

times Moments spent with you are treasures and most cherished ones With you we ex-

perience that feeling of oneness Whatever you do itrsquos always wrapped with love and

comes straight from the core of your heart Hence itrsquos bound to touch us deeply Irsquom

blessed to have you as my inpiration You inspire me to be dedicated Your concern dedi-

cation encouraging highly motivating and supporting nature melts me down Beside my

parents if there is one person who touches me the most then thatrsquos you only You stands

out unique and ultimate one Having you in life is itself a blessing I donrsquot know the bond I

share with you A bond that is capable to make one smile-cry at the same time I wish to

remain tied up in this same bond in all my upcoming births

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

Poemndash Parthiv

எது இனிது

குழல இனிதாம

யாழ இனிதாம

மழலை மமாழி அவறறினும இனிதாம

பாவம வளளுவன

Which is sweeter

Meaning

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

Act of Love ndash A special act to bring smile and ray of hope in the lives of those in need

I was accompanied by Riya Banerjee (riyabanerjee1) and Soumya Das (loveushreyadi)

to carry out this special act We had distributed sarees and sweets among three economi-

cally backward aged lady Two among three ladies were pre-selected We gave away those

materials of daily needs to them at some nearby palces Happiness on their faces were a

treat to see One of them a lady who begs on the foot bridge of a station was reduced to

tears tears of joy That was a priceless treasured moment We were hopping between

stations in search of one more such person All of a sudden a lady begging in a local train

caught our sight She was hardly able to walk As soon as we hand over her that saree and

sweets she was shocked to the core in happiness When something is wished with a pure

heart it has to happen

Later on we went to a nearby primary school having some 22 students from financially

backward families As taken pre-permission from the head of that school we distributed

copies pencils erasers and chocolates among those little students Their excitement were

at the peak The head teacher praised Shreya Ghoshal and us for helping out people in

need

All thanks to our inspiration Shreya Ghoshal for guiding and staying beside us always J

of yours your voice your thoughts and literally everything you do is the source of inspi-

ration You and your voice are that virtual force which guides me in my journey of life De-

votion for you comes just like that The way you look up to the world is a lesson for us to

learn You teach us to bring out good from within negativity Word seems too small when

it comes to express what you mean to us You enrich not just my life but everyonersquos you

touches Your sweet humble nature and a generous heart are part of what makes you a

special person For me you your voice and your inspiring personality acts the same way a

glowing candle acts in darkness

I believe inspiration comes from as a person You make this world a better place by just

being you With your love and humbleness you have never let that celebrity barrier built

between us You are a gem of a person and a caring soul I find you beside me in my hard

times Moments spent with you are treasures and most cherished ones With you we ex-

perience that feeling of oneness Whatever you do itrsquos always wrapped with love and

comes straight from the core of your heart Hence itrsquos bound to touch us deeply Irsquom

blessed to have you as my inpiration You inspire me to be dedicated Your concern dedi-

cation encouraging highly motivating and supporting nature melts me down Beside my

parents if there is one person who touches me the most then thatrsquos you only You stands

out unique and ultimate one Having you in life is itself a blessing I donrsquot know the bond I

share with you A bond that is capable to make one smile-cry at the same time I wish to

remain tied up in this same bond in all my upcoming births

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

change yourself you are the best Loads of love to you always

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Anamika(p53c)

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

Giving books pencils pens erasers and sharpeners to the people Because I have asked them about their needs They facing problems that they donrsquot have books to write In gov-

ernment schools they are least bothered to take care of their small needs Itrsquos a free school so their parents simply sending their children to schools without any sufficient

needs I thought of helping them to give books pens and pencils Thank god atleast their parents sending them to schools J

Hope I will do many act of love in future J

Inspiringrdquo ndash A word that perfectly describes you Your every single act from a little glimpse

of yours your voice your thoughts and literally everything you do is the source of inspi-

ration You and your voice are that virtual force which guides me in my journey of life De-

votion for you comes just like that The way you look up to the world is a lesson for us to

learn You teach us to bring out good from within negativity Word seems too small when

it comes to express what you mean to us You enrich not just my life but everyonersquos you

touches Your sweet humble nature and a generous heart are part of what makes you a

special person For me you your voice and your inspiring personality acts the same way a

glowing candle acts in darkness

I believe inspiration comes from as a person You make this world a better place by just

being you With your love and humbleness you have never let that celebrity barrier built

between us You are a gem of a person and a caring soul I find you beside me in my hard

times Moments spent with you are treasures and most cherished ones With you we ex-

perience that feeling of oneness Whatever you do itrsquos always wrapped with love and

comes straight from the core of your heart Hence itrsquos bound to touch us deeply Irsquom

blessed to have you as my inpiration You inspire me to be dedicated Your concern dedi-

cation encouraging highly motivating and supporting nature melts me down Beside my

parents if there is one person who touches me the most then thatrsquos you only You stands

out unique and ultimate one Having you in life is itself a blessing I donrsquot know the bond I

share with you A bond that is capable to make one smile-cry at the same time I wish to

remain tied up in this same bond in all my upcoming births

Shreya Ghoshal My Inspiration ndash

Shreya Ghoshal is the name who has Inspired Millions and I am one of those Millions

I am a Dental Student a passionate dancer nowhere connected to Music but My Idol is a

Musician ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo because of the person she is ndash Dedicated Grounded Selfless

Respectful Lovable Long back when I heard her voice I fell in Love with it and became a

fan only after becoming a fan I came to know more about her through interviews arti-

Her life being the example has thought me

Give your best shot in whatever you do

Never run behind success

Enjoy what you do

Never give up

Expect less

Never let success reach your head

Be Happy

Be Selfless

However good you maybe there is always scope for improvement

Thatrsquos what has inspired me

I stay in a hostel there are times when I am sad feel lonely miss home but there is al-

ways this one person who is there by my side and lift ups my mood through her mu-

sic or just by her tweets Thank you so Much Shreya di you will always be someone I

year ahead May God fulfill all your wishes

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

change yourself you are the best Loads of love to you always

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

Poemndash Parthiv

எது இனிது

குழல இனிதாம

யாழ இனிதாம

மழலை மமாழி அவறறினும இனிதாம

பாவம வளளுவன

Which is sweeter

Meaning

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

Giving books pencils pens erasers and sharpeners to the people Because I have asked them about their needs They facing problems that they donrsquot have books to write In gov-

ernment schools they are least bothered to take care of their small needs Itrsquos a free school so their parents simply sending their children to schools without any sufficient

needs I thought of helping them to give books pens and pencils Thank god atleast their parents sending them to schools J

Hope I will do many act of love in future J

Inspiringrdquo ndash A word that perfectly describes you Your every single act from a little glimpse

of yours your voice your thoughts and literally everything you do is the source of inspi-

ration You and your voice are that virtual force which guides me in my journey of life De-

votion for you comes just like that The way you look up to the world is a lesson for us to

learn You teach us to bring out good from within negativity Word seems too small when

it comes to express what you mean to us You enrich not just my life but everyonersquos you

touches Your sweet humble nature and a generous heart are part of what makes you a

special person For me you your voice and your inspiring personality acts the same way a

glowing candle acts in darkness

I believe inspiration comes from as a person You make this world a better place by just

being you With your love and humbleness you have never let that celebrity barrier built

between us You are a gem of a person and a caring soul I find you beside me in my hard

times Moments spent with you are treasures and most cherished ones With you we ex-

perience that feeling of oneness Whatever you do itrsquos always wrapped with love and

comes straight from the core of your heart Hence itrsquos bound to touch us deeply Irsquom

blessed to have you as my inpiration You inspire me to be dedicated Your concern dedi-

cation encouraging highly motivating and supporting nature melts me down Beside my

parents if there is one person who touches me the most then thatrsquos you only You stands

out unique and ultimate one Having you in life is itself a blessing I donrsquot know the bond I

share with you A bond that is capable to make one smile-cry at the same time I wish to

remain tied up in this same bond in all my upcoming births

Her life being the example has thought me

Give your best shot in whatever you do

However good you maybe there is always scope for improvement

Thatrsquos what has inspired me

I stay in a hostel there are times when I am sad feel lonely miss home but there is al-

ways this one person who is there by my side and lift ups my mood through her mu-

sic or just by her tweets Thank you so Much Shreya di you will always be someone I

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

change yourself you are the best Loads of love to you always

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

Inspiringrdquo ndash A word that perfectly describes you Your every single act from a little glimpse

of yours your voice your thoughts and literally everything you do is the source of inspi-

ration You and your voice are that virtual force which guides me in my journey of life De-

votion for you comes just like that The way you look up to the world is a lesson for us to

learn You teach us to bring out good from within negativity Word seems too small when

it comes to express what you mean to us You enrich not just my life but everyonersquos you

touches Your sweet humble nature and a generous heart are part of what makes you a

special person For me you your voice and your inspiring personality acts the same way a

glowing candle acts in darkness

I believe inspiration comes from as a person You make this world a better place by just

being you With your love and humbleness you have never let that celebrity barrier built

between us You are a gem of a person and a caring soul I find you beside me in my hard

times Moments spent with you are treasures and most cherished ones With you we ex-

perience that feeling of oneness Whatever you do itrsquos always wrapped with love and

comes straight from the core of your heart Hence itrsquos bound to touch us deeply Irsquom

blessed to have you as my inpiration You inspire me to be dedicated Your concern dedi-

cation encouraging highly motivating and supporting nature melts me down Beside my

parents if there is one person who touches me the most then thatrsquos you only You stands

out unique and ultimate one Having you in life is itself a blessing I donrsquot know the bond I

share with you A bond that is capable to make one smile-cry at the same time I wish to

remain tied up in this same bond in all my upcoming births

ways this one person who is there by my side and lift ups my mood through her mu-

sic or just by her tweets Thank you so Much Shreya di you will always be someone I

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

எது இனிது

குழல இனிதாம

யாழ இனிதாம

மழலை மமாழி அவறறினும இனிதாம

பாவம வளளுவன

Which is sweeter

Meaning

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

of yours your voice your thoughts and literally everything you do is the source of inspi-

ration You and your voice are that virtual force which guides me in my journey of life De-

votion for you comes just like that The way you look up to the world is a lesson for us to

learn You teach us to bring out good from within negativity Word seems too small when

touches Your sweet humble nature and a generous heart are part of what makes you a

special person For me you your voice and your inspiring personality acts the same way a

glowing candle acts in darkness

being you With your love and humbleness you have never let that celebrity barrier built

between us You are a gem of a person and a caring soul I find you beside me in my hard

times Moments spent with you are treasures and most cherished ones With you we ex-

perience that feeling of oneness Whatever you do itrsquos always wrapped with love and

comes straight from the core of your heart Hence itrsquos bound to touch us deeply Irsquom

blessed to have you as my inpiration You inspire me to be dedicated Your concern dedi-

cation encouraging highly motivating and supporting nature melts me down Beside my

parents if there is one person who touches me the most then thatrsquos you only You stands

out unique and ultimate one Having you in life is itself a blessing I donrsquot know the bond I

share with you A bond that is capable to make one smile-cry at the same time I wish to

remain tied up in this same bond in all my upcoming births

Her life being the example has thought me

Give your best shot in whatever you do

However good you maybe there is always scope for improvement

Thatrsquos what has inspired me

I stay in a hostel there are times when I am sad feel lonely miss home but there is al-

ways this one person who is there by my side and lift ups my mood through her mu-

sic or just by her tweets Thank you so Much Shreya di you will always be someone I

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

Meaning

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Apni pyari Muskaan Se Humare liye Pyar bhare Replies se

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

of yours your voice your thoughts and literally everything you do is the source of inspi-

ration You and your voice are that virtual force which guides me in my journey of life De-

votion for you comes just like that The way you look up to the world is a lesson for us to

learn You teach us to bring out good from within negativity Word seems too small when

special person For me you your voice and your inspiring personality acts the same way a

being you With your love and humbleness you have never let that celebrity barrier built

between us You are a gem of a person and a caring soul I find you beside me in my hard

times Moments spent with you are treasures and most cherished ones With you we ex-

perience that feeling of oneness Whatever you do itrsquos always wrapped with love and

comes straight from the core of your heart Hence itrsquos bound to touch us deeply Irsquom

blessed to have you as my inpiration You inspire me to be dedicated Your concern dedi-

cation encouraging highly motivating and supporting nature melts me down Beside my

parents if there is one person who touches me the most then thatrsquos you only You stands

out unique and ultimate one Having you in life is itself a blessing I donrsquot know the bond I

share with you A bond that is capable to make one smile-cry at the same time I wish to

remain tied up in this same bond in all my upcoming births

ways this one person who is there by my side and lift ups my mood through her mu-

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

pray all that u desire fall at your feet amp you are overwhelmed with happiness always

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Dhanyawad karna Chahte hai

Dil aapka Komal adaa aapki Katilana

Toh Duji aur Mann Bhavak Ki din prati Din

aapki Taraf Aadar Badhta Hai

Aapki Jaisi Ek Bhatareen aur pyari gayika

Apni pyari Muskaan Se Humare liye Pyar bhare Replies se

Aur Apni Adboot Gayakiy Se humare Shabdo ko Haraya Hai

Aapke Chehre Par Muskaan dekh kar Mano esa lagta hai ki

Hamara Dil Indra Dhanush ke rango Se bhar gaya Hai

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

Inspiringrdquo ndash A word that perfectly describes you Your every single act from a little glimpse

of yours your voice your thoughts and literally everything you do is the source of inspi-

ration You and your voice are that virtual force which guides me in my journey of life De-

votion for you comes just like that The way you look up to the world is a lesson for us to

learn You teach us to bring out good from within negativity Word seems too small when

it comes to express what you mean to us You enrich not just my life but everyonersquos you

touches Your sweet humble nature and a generous heart are part of what makes you a

special person For me you your voice and your inspiring personality acts the same way a

glowing candle acts in darkness

I believe inspiration comes from as a person You make this world a better place by just

being you With your love and humbleness you have never let that celebrity barrier built

between us You are a gem of a person and a caring soul I find you beside me in my hard

times Moments spent with you are treasures and most cherished ones With you we ex-

perience that feeling of oneness Whatever you do itrsquos always wrapped with love and

comes straight from the core of your heart Hence itrsquos bound to touch us deeply Irsquom

blessed to have you as my inpiration You inspire me to be dedicated Your concern dedi-

cation encouraging highly motivating and supporting nature melts me down Beside my

parents if there is one person who touches me the most then thatrsquos you only You stands

out unique and ultimate one Having you in life is itself a blessing I donrsquot know the bond I

share with you A bond that is capable to make one smile-cry at the same time I wish to

remain tied up in this same bond in all my upcoming births

Musician ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo because of the person she is ndash Dedicated Grounded Selfless

Respectful Lovable Long back when I heard her voice I fell in Love with it and became a

fan only after becoming a fan I came to know more about her through interviews arti-

cles and thatrsquos when from a Shreya Ghoshal ldquofanrdquo I became a Shreya Ghoshal ldquoDevoteerdquo

Her life being the example has thought me

Give your best shot in whatever you do

ways this one person who is there by my side and lift ups my mood through her mu-

sic or just by her tweets Thank you so Much Shreya di you will always be someone I

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Anamika(p53c)

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

extreme limit I love you more than anyone can love anyone in this world And oh yusss Irsquom

July2013 The best day of my life I am so greatful to rishav and his dad (bishwadeep Chat-

terjee) for thisrsquo) Rishav Is like an elder brother to me and because his dad is yur very good

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

pray all that u desire fall at your feet amp you are overwhelmed with happiness always

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

learn so much Its not because you are a celebrity that I follow you its because of the

great human you are I have started valuing so many things in my life just because of you

You inspire me to work hard in life I remember not going to far off places for studies and

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

ing How full of life is ur singing it takes me to the other world Your love for animals has

somehow made me love them more I am sure of this that all those who follow you will

reach heights one day and will be as wonderful as you are Thank You for being there in

our lives and making it so special All the love and happiness to you Keep spreading your

magic and make us feel blessed

Shreya Ghoshal My Inspiration ndash

Shreya Ghoshal is the name who has Inspired Millions and I am one of those Millions

I am a Dental Student a passionate dancer nowhere connected to Music but My Idol is a

Musician ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo because of the person she is ndash Dedicated Grounded Selfless

Respectful Lovable Long back when I heard her voice I fell in Love with it and became a

fan only after becoming a fan I came to know more about her through interviews arti-

cles and thatrsquos when from a Shreya Ghoshal ldquofanrdquo I became a Shreya Ghoshal ldquoDevoteerdquo

Her life being the example has thought me

Give your best shot in whatever you do

Never run behind success

Be Focused

Enjoy what you do

Never give up

Expect less

Never let success reach your head

Be Happy

Be Selfless

However good you maybe there is always scope for improvement

Thatrsquos what has inspired me

I stay in a hostel there are times when I am sad feel lonely miss home but there is al-

ways this one person who is there by my side and lift ups my mood through her mu-

sic or just by her tweets Thank you so Much Shreya di you will always be someone I

look upto Love you

25th July 2013 was when I 1st met her at Joy Alukkas Dubai and just in 10 minutes meet I

realized there is no sweeter person then her

Firstly a very very happy birthday to you Wish you a very prosperous and more successful

year ahead May God fulfill all your wishes

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

change yourself you are the best Loads of love to you always

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Anamika(p53c)

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

எது இனிது

குழல இனிதாம

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

extreme limit I love you more than anyone can love anyone in this world And oh yusss Irsquom

July2013 The best day of my life I am so greatful to rishav and his dad (bishwadeep Chat-

terjee) for thisrsquo) Rishav Is like an elder brother to me and because his dad is yur very good

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

pray all that u desire fall at your feet amp you are overwhelmed with happiness always

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

remember being a music lover since childhood and I feel fortunate to be born in this era

where you sing Your every tweet interviews your meets with your fans has made me

learn so much Its not because you are a celebrity that I follow you its because of the

great human you are I have started valuing so many things in my life just because of you

You inspire me to work hard in life I remember not going to far off places for studies and

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

ing How full of life is ur singing it takes me to the other world Your love for animals has

somehow made me love them more I am sure of this that all those who follow you will

reach heights one day and will be as wonderful as you are Thank You for being there in

Respectful Lovable Long back when I heard her voice I fell in Love with it and became a

fan only after becoming a fan I came to know more about her through interviews arti-

cles and thatrsquos when from a Shreya Ghoshal ldquofanrdquo I became a Shreya Ghoshal ldquoDevoteerdquo

Her life being the example has thought me

Give your best shot in whatever you do

Never run behind success

Be Focused

Enjoy what you do

Never give up

Expect less

Never let success reach your head

Be Happy

Be Selfless

However good you maybe there is always scope for improvement

Thatrsquos what has inspired me

I stay in a hostel there are times when I am sad feel lonely miss home but there is al-

ways this one person who is there by my side and lift ups my mood through her mu-

sic or just by her tweets Thank you so Much Shreya di you will always be someone I

look upto Love you

25th July 2013 was when I 1st met her at Joy Alukkas Dubai and just in 10 minutes meet I

realized there is no sweeter person then her

Shreya Ghoshal you are the BEST

Firstly a very very happy birthday to you Wish you a very prosperous and more successful

year ahead May God fulfill all your wishes

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

change yourself you are the best Loads of love to you always

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Anamika(p53c)

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

எது இனிது

குழல இனிதாம

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

learn so much Its not because you are a celebrity that I follow you its because of the

great human you are I have started valuing so many things in my life just because of you

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

Firstly a very very happy birthday to you Wish you a very prosperous and more successful

year ahead May God fulfill all your wishes

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

change yourself you are the best Loads of love to you always

Happy birthday Shreya Ghoshal

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Anamika(p53c)

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

pray all that u desire fall at your feet amp you are overwhelmed with happiness always

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

Keep hitting the high Surs and inspiring us as we look up to you as our motivation

Many Many Happy Returns of The Day

Love you SG lt3

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Woh Afsar Hai

Jaha Hum Ishwar ko Aapke Mata Pita ko

Dhanyawad karna Chahte hai

Makhan jaise Soundarya Misri jaise Bol

Dil aapka Komal adaa aapki Katilana

Toh Duji aur Mann Bhavak Ki din prati Din

aapki Taraf Aadar Badhta Hai

Aapki Jaisi Ek Bhatareen aur pyari gayika

aur kahi nahi dekhi

Aapki Tareef Jitni ki jaye

Apni pyari Muskaan Se Humare liye Pyar bhare Replies se

Aur Apni Adboot Gayakiy Se humare Shabdo ko Haraya Hai

Aapke Chehre Par Muskaan dekh kar Mano esa lagta hai ki

Hamara Dil Indra Dhanush ke rango Se bhar gaya Hai

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

year ahead May God fulfill all your wishes

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

change yourself you are the best Loads of love to you always

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

Poemndash Parthiv

எது இனிது

குழல இனிதாம

யாழ இனிதாம

மழலை மமாழி அவறறினும இனிதாம

பாவம வளளுவன

Which is sweeter

Meaning

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

Poemndash Parthiv

எது இனிது

குழல இனிதாம

யாழ இனிதாம

மழலை மமாழி அவறறினும இனிதாம

பாவம வளளுவன

என மெயவான

உன குரல கேடடதிலலை கபாலும

Which is sweeter

Kuzhal inidhaam

Yaazh inidhaam

Meaning

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

extreme limit I love you more than anyone can love anyone in this world And oh yusss Irsquom

July2013 The best day of my life I am so greatful to rishav and his dad (bishwadeep Chat-

terjee) for thisrsquo) Rishav Is like an elder brother to me and because his dad is yur very good

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

pray all that u desire fall at your feet amp you are overwhelmed with happiness always

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

learn so much Its not because you are a celebrity that I follow you its because of the

great human you are I have started valuing so many things in my life just because of you

You inspire me to work hard in life I remember not going to far off places for studies and

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

ing How full of life is ur singing it takes me to the other world Your love for animals has

somehow made me love them more I am sure of this that all those who follow you will

reach heights one day and will be as wonderful as you are Thank You for being there in

our lives and making it so special All the love and happiness to you Keep spreading your

magic and make us feel blessed

Firstly a very very happy birthday to you Wish you a very prosperous and more successful

year ahead May God fulfill all your wishes

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

change yourself you are the best Loads of love to you always

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Anamika(p53c)

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

Poemndash Parthiv

எது இனிது

குழல இனிதாம

யாழ இனிதாம

மழலை மமாழி அவறறினும இனிதாம

பாவம வளளுவன

என மெயவான

உன குரல கேடடதிலலை கபாலும

Which is sweeter

Kuzhal inidhaam

Meaning

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

year ahead May God fulfill all your wishes

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

change yourself you are the best Loads of love to you always

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

எது இனிது

Which is sweeter

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

Firstly a very very happy birthday to you Wish you a very prosperous and more successful

year ahead May God fulfill all your wishes

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

change yourself you are the best Loads of love to you always

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Anamika(p53c)

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

terjee) for thisrsquo) Rishav Is like an elder brother to me and because his dad is yur very good

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

pray all that u desire fall at your feet amp you are overwhelmed with happiness always

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Dhanyawad karna Chahte hai

Dil aapka Komal adaa aapki Katilana

Toh Duji aur Mann Bhavak Ki din prati Din

aapki Taraf Aadar Badhta Hai

Aapki Jaisi Ek Bhatareen aur pyari gayika

aur kahi nahi dekhi

Aapki Tareef Jitni ki jaye

Apni pyari Muskaan Se Humare liye Pyar bhare Replies se

Aur Apni Adboot Gayakiy Se humare Shabdo ko Haraya Hai

Aapke Chehre Par Muskaan dekh kar Mano esa lagta hai ki

Hamara Dil Indra Dhanush ke rango Se bhar gaya Hai

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

Firstly a very very happy birthday to you Wish you a very prosperous and more successful

year ahead May God fulfill all your wishes

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

change yourself you are the best Loads of love to you always

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Anamika(p53c)

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

எது இனிது

குழல இனிதாம

யாழ இனிதாம

Which is sweeter

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

pray all that u desire fall at your feet amp you are overwhelmed with happiness always

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

change yourself you are the best Loads of love to you always

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Anamika(p53c)

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Anamika(p53c)

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

எது இனிது

குழல இனிதாம

யாழ இனிதாம

மழலை மமாழி அவறறினும இனிதாம

பாவம வளளுவன

என மெயவான

Which is sweeter

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

extreme limit I love you more than anyone can love anyone in this world And oh yusss Irsquom

exactly half your age nowP I have been lucky enough to have an encounter with GOD

July2013 The best day of my life I am so greatful to rishav and his dad (bishwadeep Chat-

terjee) for thisrsquo) Rishav Is like an elder brother to me and because his dad is yur very good

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

pray all that u desire fall at your feet amp you are overwhelmed with happiness always

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Apni pyari Muskaan Se Humare liye Pyar bhare Replies se

Aur Apni Adboot Gayakiy Se humare Shabdo ko Haraya Hai

Aapke Chehre Par Muskaan dekh kar Mano esa lagta hai ki

Hamara Dil Indra Dhanush ke rango Se bhar gaya Hai

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

ActOFLove made many work for society She is none other than lsquoSHREYA PERFECTION

GHOSHALrsquo Talking about her achievements I would write her biggest achievement as

changing lives round the globe I donrsquot remember having friends from different corners of

the world before I came across the beautiful SG Family I owe so much to you DI for this I

remember being a music lover since childhood and I feel fortunate to be born in this era

where you sing Your every tweet interviews your meets with your fans has made me

learn so much Its not because you are a celebrity that I follow you its because of the

great human you are I have started valuing so many things in my life just because of you

You inspire me to work hard in life I remember not going to far off places for studies and

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

ing How full of life is ur singing it takes me to the other world Your love for animals has

somehow made me love them more I am sure of this that all those who follow you will

reach heights one day and will be as wonderful as you are Thank You for being there in

our lives and making it so special All the love and happiness to you Keep spreading your

magic and make us feel blessed

Firstly a very very happy birthday to you Wish you a very prosperous and more successful

year ahead May God fulfill all your wishes

Hello mam I am Suchismita Dey one of your fellow fan among the millions Through this I

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

I owe my little acheivements credit to you and my parents A humble request that never

change yourself you are the best Loads of love to you always

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Anamika(p53c)

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

jo pyar Khushiya aur Duao se Bhara rahe

Woh Afsar Hai

Jaha Hum Ishwar ko Aapke Mata Pita ko

Dhanyawad karna Chahte hai

ki humain aap Jaise Shreya pari se Milvaya Hai

Makhan jaise Soundarya Misri jaise Bol

Dil aapka Komal adaa aapki Katilana

Toh Duji aur Mann Bhavak Ki din prati Din

aapki Taraf Aadar Badhta Hai

Aapki Jaisi Ek Bhatareen aur pyari gayika

aur kahi nahi dekhi

Aapki Tareef Jitni ki jaye

utni hi kaam LageKyuki aapne har Baar

Apni pyari Muskaan Se Humare liye Pyar bhare Replies se

Aur Apni Adboot Gayakiy Se humare Shabdo ko Haraya Hai

Aapke Chehre Par Muskaan dekh kar Mano esa lagta hai ki

Hamara Dil Indra Dhanush ke rango Se bhar gaya Hai

Aapko kis naam se pukaru

Pari Rajkumari Apsara

Aapki Sundarta Har Kar Kar Main Jhalakti hai

bas Itni se Dharkwaz Hai ki aap Humain Bhool na jana

Janam Din Mubarak aur Pyar Bhare Subkamnaye

Aur Aapki Saflta Har Shetro main mil jaaye

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

Meaning

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Apni pyari Muskaan Se Humare liye Pyar bhare Replies se

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

wanted to say a heartiest Thank you for your contribution in my life Earlier when I was

younger I had never been so interested in music I used to listen to those only which was

been played in my house by others Amongst that your earlier bengali albums were also

played Gradually listening to them I started adoring your voice but never knew the per-

son behind the voice The songs which made me your fan without even knowing you well

were Agar tum mil jao and La ja la ja re

The magic of your voice way of singing devoted me towards you From then on I came to

know the person behind my favourite songs I also got to know that the voice I like in the

ablums was the same After I joined twitter only for you and in this way without realising

yours tweets songs become a part of my life At every point of life your songs were al-

ways with me Your songs tweets can bring a smile on my face even in sad days Idolising

you you made me learn too many goods things ie to be humble simple do goods deeds

as yours Act of love You gave me my lifes most biggest surprise by replying on my tweet

on song Sunn raha hai na last year Whenever I got witnessed you live in concerts you

just made me spellbound You are not only a singer to me whose songs i like or something

but you are my idol love teacher guide philosopher didi friend everything My day

starts with yours songs reading your tweets and ends on the same note I feel more

happy and proud when somebody call me or know me to be your fan other than by my

name I feel the happiest when you receive any awards or honour Now whenever

I become sad my parents too suggest me to listen to yours songs as they knew too how

important you are to me and how yours songs can mould me

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

Knowing words arent enough to express why i idolize you i take this opportunity to tell

you why are you so important in my life

Other than your songs what i love about you is your attitude and dedication towards

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

Thank You )

Many many Happy Returns of the day Will always keep loving and adoring you-

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

For my Idol Shreya Ghoshal Kaise btayein kaise badli apne hmari zindagi

Har mushkil apne khushi mein badal di Pyar apne hmein itna diya ki hum na bhula payenge

Jo SG family apne hmein kaha uska karz utaar na paenge Har pal ap hmein koi tohfa ho dete

Ap apne gano seapni muskurahat seapni baaton seapni adaaon se hmara dil ho chura lete

Yun toh dekha nahi apko kabhi na apse hui kabhi mulakat Pr fir bhi har ek pal apke or kareeb hain hum ho jate

Jis masumiyat se ho ap gaati Vahi hmein sabse zyada lubhati

Ap ho achi betiachi behan or achi gayka Apki perfection ko koi nahi choo paega Bs yuhi rahiye or muskan bnaye rakhiye

Kyunki apki muskan ko dekh kr hi toh jee hain rahe Keep smiling

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

I was in touch with a girl

With much incertitude about her identity

When I met her one fine day

I knew the joy of sserendipity

On the eve of her concert in town(Bangalore)

I reached there to hear her sing

The angelic voice cast its spell

Making me forget everything

She is the prima donna

That every heart wants to hear and cherish

Yes The prodigy who rules the charts

The quintessence of rhythm and music

You are my hero my inspiration

With an aura so pure and pretty

You are the BEST the divine voice

Ever known to me

I pray to GOD to grant you more

May your every wish come true

YOU are my musical protagonist

Infinite love for YOU

All my love and best wishes

your work you inspired me to give the best possible to everything i do To value what i

have and never take things for granted To always work towards contributing and making

this game called life a better experience for others than looking to benefit from it A big

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

எது இனிது

குழல இனிதாம

யாழ இனிதாம

மழலை மமாழி அவறறினும இனிதாம

பாவம வளளுவன

Which is sweeter

Meaning

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

A human body can bear only 45 units of pain But at the time of giving birth a mother

feels upto 57 units of pain This is similar to 20 bones getting fractured at the same time

This is just to tell you the extended bond which a mother loves her child Being so famous

and loved by the world i think your fans forget to thank your mother for bringing such a

beautiful person in this world This is not just your birthday But a day for you to remem-

ber all the pain that your mother went through on this day May you be inspired by my

message and have a blessed birthday Warm hugs and kisses your young south african

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

Poemndash Parthiv

எது இனிது

குழல இனிதாம

யாழ இனிதாம

மழலை மமாழி அவறறினும இனிதாம

பாவம வளளுவன

என மெயவான

உன குரல கேடடதிலலை கபாலும

Which is sweeter

Kuzhal inidhaam

Meaning

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

pray all that u desire fall at your feet amp you are overwhelmed with happiness always

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

That day when i met you first Among Hundreds of flyers waferers

like a dream leisurely emerging into actuality I saw you wayfering towards me

In the Most simplest Attires With a smile as the Only Bling

to me you were an unseen Blessing Your Gestures mimicing the pure heart

A sprinkle Of words telling d story of ur success Beleive Me That Moment

Your presence gave me goosebumps I was inspiredi felt like a new born

You spent a slim time And my camera-eye freezed every second

We clutched our hands for introduction But secretly i promised to hold on forever

Ah the hug Your aroma perfumed these memories forever

The sun bid adieu Bringing the most wonderful night

I was Gazing the brightest star with my naked eyes Under the Cold Shelter of your beautiful voice

Each and every second Was filled with rhythmic beauty Listening to you was my only duty

The tears of happiness refused to dry I was dripping like a rain cloud in the sky

Never picturized a day so glorious How can my first time be so victorious Did this really happen to me

Did You really hug me Did i really witness you Performing live

Everything still seems like a dream I keep repeating this to myself That day when i her first hellip

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

எது இனிது

குழல இனிதாம

யாழ இனிதாம

மழலை மமாழி அவறறினும இனிதாம

பாவம வளளுவன

என மெயவான

உன குரல கேடடதிலலை கபாலும

Which is sweeter

Kuzhal inidhaam

Yaazh inidhaam

Meaning

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Apni pyari Muskaan Se Humare liye Pyar bhare Replies se

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

Ahat hai teri har saans me

Khushbu h teri in hawaoun me

Bari piya ab tu hi bta

Kya hai mera tugse rabta

Bepnah pyar hai mere sathiya

Pal pal har pal hai sjaya ashiyan

Ishq hotton se nhi hota hai byan

Isliye pyar me ankhe bani h juban

Tujse milne ko ye dil kre zoobi doobi

Kash mugse milne aye ek din tu bhi

Kyu nhi sun rha ki ro rhi hu me

Teri ore ane ke liye taras rhi hu me

Thode badmash ho ye dil kehta h

Mughe to sirf tugh me hi rab dikhta h

Dilo ki dil se rahe jud gayi

Teri meri prem khani ko ek nyi pehchan mil gyi

Kaise mughe tum mil gayi

Ek pal ke liye hi sahi jindagi hume fir se mil gayi

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

எது இனிது

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

Keep hitting the high Surs and inspiring us as we look up to you as our motivation

Many Many Happy Returns of The Day

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

stantly My love and madness for u grew with time today Irsquom 15 and I have reached the

extreme limit I love you more than anyone can love anyone in this world And oh yusss Irsquom

exactly half your age nowP I have been lucky enough to have an encounter with GOD

Though I have met u just once yet I would say that it was one of the best meets possible

on earth I remember that day very well ur touch is divine I experienced heaven 29th

July2013 The best day of my life I am so greatful to rishav and his dad (bishwadeep Chat-

terjee) for thisrsquo) Rishav Is like an elder brother to me and because his dad is yur very good

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

pray all that u desire fall at your feet amp you are overwhelmed with happiness always

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

remember being a music lover since childhood and I feel fortunate to be born in this era

where you sing Your every tweet interviews your meets with your fans has made me

learn so much Its not because you are a celebrity that I follow you its because of the

great human you are I have started valuing so many things in my life just because of you

You inspire me to work hard in life I remember not going to far off places for studies and

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

ing How full of life is ur singing it takes me to the other world Your love for animals has

somehow made me love them more I am sure of this that all those who follow you will

reach heights one day and will be as wonderful as you are Thank You for being there in

our lives and making it so special All the love and happiness to you Keep spreading your

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

remember being a music lover since childhood and I feel fortunate to be born in this era

where you sing Your every tweet interviews your meets with your fans has made me

learn so much Its not because you are a celebrity that I follow you its because of the

great human you are I have started valuing so many things in my life just because of you

You inspire me to work hard in life I remember not going to far off places for studies and

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

ing How full of life is ur singing it takes me to the other world Your love for animals has

somehow made me love them more I am sure of this that all those who follow you will

reach heights one day and will be as wonderful as you are Thank You for being there in

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

எது இனிது

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

extreme limit I love you more than anyone can love anyone in this world And oh yusss Irsquom

July2013 The best day of my life I am so greatful to rishav and his dad (bishwadeep Chat-

terjee) for thisrsquo) Rishav Is like an elder brother to me and because his dad is yur very good

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

pray all that u desire fall at your feet amp you are overwhelmed with happiness always

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

remember being a music lover since childhood and I feel fortunate to be born in this era

where you sing Your every tweet interviews your meets with your fans has made me

learn so much Its not because you are a celebrity that I follow you its because of the

great human you are I have started valuing so many things in my life just because of you

You inspire me to work hard in life I remember not going to far off places for studies and

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

ing How full of life is ur singing it takes me to the other world Your love for animals has

somehow made me love them more I am sure of this that all those who follow you will

reach heights one day and will be as wonderful as you are Thank You for being there in

September 1st 2006 was the first time I recall listening to Shreya Ghoshalrsquos unforgettable

voice Lage Raho Munna Bhai was released on this life-changing day This movie had one

of Shreyarsquos most phenomenal song ldquoPal Pal Har Palrdquo The first time I noticed Shreyarsquos gor-

geous voice was when I saw this movie Her beautiful voice stirred all my emotions During

the time the song was playing I thought about how unique and lovely of a voice this singer

has The singer had touched my soul That day will stay in my memory for eternity During

the next few years I discovered the name of this enchanting singer Shreya Ghoshal At

that moment in time I started to precisely only pick Shreya Ghoshal songs to listen to

Every song I ever listened to or downloaded was most certainly a Shreya Ghoshal song Af-

ter obsessing over her voice I wanted to see who Shreya Ghoshal actually was I was mind

blown when I googled her She is such an interesting person who has worked so hard

throughout her whole life Soon enough I discovered she has twitter and for that reason I

made twitter so I could follow her Twitter turned me into a die-hard fan of the singing

sensation Shreya Ghoshal I can honestly say being a fan of Shreya Ghoshal is one of the

best things that has ever happened to me

Poemndash Parthiv

எது இனிது

குழல இனிதாம

யாழ இனிதாம

மழலை மமாழி அவறறினும இனிதாம

பாவம வளளுவன

என மெயவான

உன குரல கேடடதிலலை கபாலும

Which is sweeter

Kuzhal inidhaam

Yaazh inidhaam

Mazhalai mozhi avatrinum inidhaam

Paavam Valluvan

En seivaan

Un kural kettadhillai polum

Meaning

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

remember being a music lover since childhood and I feel fortunate to be born in this era

where you sing Your every tweet interviews your meets with your fans has made me

learn so much Its not because you are a celebrity that I follow you its because of the

great human you are I have started valuing so many things in my life just because of you

You inspire me to work hard in life I remember not going to far off places for studies and

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

ing How full of life is ur singing it takes me to the other world Your love for animals has

somehow made me love them more I am sure of this that all those who follow you will

reach heights one day and will be as wonderful as you are Thank You for being there in

Poemndash Parthiv

எது இனிது

குழல இனிதாம

யாழ இனிதாம

மழலை மமாழி அவறறினும இனிதாம

பாவம வளளுவன

என மெயவான

உன குரல கேடடதிலலை கபாலும

Which is sweeter

Kuzhal inidhaam

Yaazh inidhaam

Mazhalai mozhi avatrinum inidhaam

Paavam Valluvan

En seivaan

Un kural kettadhillai polum

Meaning

As per the ancient Tamil poet ldquoThiruvalluvarrdquo the sound of flute is sweet

yaazh(ancestor instrument of veena) is sweeter and a babyrsquos language is the sweetest

He said so because he never had a chance to listen to your voice

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

47

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Dhanyawad karna Chahte hai

Makhan jaise Soundarya Misri jaise Bol

Dil aapka Komal adaa aapki Katilana

Toh Duji aur Mann Bhavak Ki din prati Din

aapki Taraf Aadar Badhta Hai

Aapki Jaisi Ek Bhatareen aur pyari gayika

aur kahi nahi dekhi

Aapki Tareef Jitni ki jaye

utni hi kaam LageKyuki aapne har Baar

Apni pyari Muskaan Se Humare liye Pyar bhare Replies se

Aur Apni Adboot Gayakiy Se humare Shabdo ko Haraya Hai

Aapke Chehre Par Muskaan dekh kar Mano esa lagta hai ki

Hamara Dil Indra Dhanush ke rango Se bhar gaya Hai

Aapko kis naam se pukaru

Aapki Sundarta Har Kar Kar Main Jhalakti hai

bas Itni se Dharkwaz Hai ki aap Humain Bhool na jana

Janam Din Mubarak aur Pyar Bhare Subkamnaye

Aur Aapki Saflta Har Shetro main mil jaaye

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

remember being a music lover since childhood and I feel fortunate to be born in this era

where you sing Your every tweet interviews your meets with your fans has made me

learn so much Its not because you are a celebrity that I follow you its because of the

great human you are I have started valuing so many things in my life just because of you

You inspire me to work hard in life I remember not going to far off places for studies and

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

ing How full of life is ur singing it takes me to the other world Your love for animals has

somehow made me love them more I am sure of this that all those who follow you will

24th February 2013 The day my dream of meeting the one and only Shreya Ghoshal who I

wake up and go to sleep listening to came true While I was waiting I again went over to my

family friend to ask when I was meeting her and he said in the break and I couldnt hold my ex-

citementWe waited for a while and then she came on stage I screamed so much and cried I

almost lost my voice not even exaggerating She started off with teri meri and sang all her soulful

songs so beautiful and accompanying her was hrishikesh ranade who i thought was fabulous

because it needs a lot of courage to sing with shreya ghoshal Then it was break time and I

walked over to one of the organisers chirag pareikh and explained to him who i was and he said

i was going to meet her in the first 10 minute of the 2nd half when shreya was going to be off

stage but unfortunately heaps of people heard what he said to me So after the break they all

went and lined up to meet her and even ran past the security who couldnt hold them back so by

the time the organisers managed to get me back stage shreya didi was waiting behind the blind

to go on stage chirag uncle told me to go to her and her say hi so i went i tapped her and she

turned around and smiled at me and went off to stage while her manager pulled me back i was

crying so much because i thought that i couldnt meet her and i begged the organisers and i just

cried for the second half of the concertthe magical moment was when 5 minutes before the

show was about to end one of the organisers called me backstage and took me to the backdoor

through which they were going to take her out as soon as she came off stage i couldnt believe it

and i was crying so much and i could hear her sing mere dholna then say bye to brisbane and

come off stage all of a sudden i saw the door open and with all the organisers there she was

My idol my inpiration role model my everything and I couldnt believe it I literally went numb

She came over to me and patted me and hugged me because she saw how happy and shocked

i was and then i started crying away (tears of happiness ) ) while she asked me my name and i

said senjuti then she asked me if i was bengali or not and i said yes and she said oh good then i

told her i tweet to her all day and she looked at her dad and had a LOL moment the organisers

and my family friend then told her that i sing and im a huge huge fan and she said come lets go

outside in the light so we can get an awesome picture and so i can listen to you sing one line

but the organisers said that it wasnt possible cause there were so many fans who would mob

her then my family friend took the pic but i was scared to hug her and then everyone said give

her the biggest hug of your life and i did and thats my dp guys then i was just crying and saying

that i cant believe that its truly her and she said awww how sweet and she said well i have to go

now she kept walking away and one of the organisers said i had to walk out the same way so

no one knew that i met her and when leaving she was waiting to go into the lift leaning against

the wall because the poor girl was exhausted and i waved to her and she waved back smiled

and said bye i walked out ran to my mum and gave her the biggest hug and nearly fainted be-

cause i was sweating so much i couldnt believe it and i didnt sleep at all that whole week one

of my dreams actually came true

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

terjee) for thisrsquo) Rishav Is like an elder brother to me and because his dad is yur very good

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

HELLO So finally the day has come when the world was blessed with an angel 12th

march The day which is close to all our hearts Shreya Didi wish you a very very very very

very very HAPPY BIRTHDAY You are my maa saraswati What a divine voice you have Miss

stantly My love and madness for u grew with time today Irsquom 15 and I have reached the

extreme limit I love you more than anyone can love anyone in this world And oh yusss Irsquom

exactly half your age nowP I have been lucky enough to have an encounter with GOD

terjee) for thisrsquo) Rishav Is like an elder brother to me and because his dad is yur very good

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

pray all that u desire fall at your feet amp you are overwhelmed with happiness always

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

I can still remember the day when I first saw you liveA little shy girl who was suffering

from stage sickness But when she started singing the melody of her voice stunned every

one Such a sweet powerful voice I was aware of your singing ability before that through

your bengali modern songs album but attending your concert I got much more attracted

to your voice

I am older than you by age but I worship your voice Three years back I had to go to some

place which was far away from my home I had to stay there with bare minimum ameni-

tiesI was very lonely and depressed then There was no TV music system or any other

kind of entertainment Your songs interviewslive performances and tv shows were my

only entertainment which helped me to remain sane otherwise I wouid have been a psy-

chological patient

At that time I came to know about your twitter involvment I opened an account on twit-

ter I was so novice at that time that I did not know how to use it I started following you

and some members of sgfamily Your tweets and their interaction used to make me happy

Many hours of a day had been spent reading tweets sitting with my laptop By this I got

back my childhood days I started to feel myself one of themYou do not know how much

support you gave me during my toughest period in life with your songs and other activi-

tiesThank you so much for giving support in my hard time

Once again wishing you Happy birthday

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

terjee) for thisrsquo) Rishav Is like an elder brother to me and because his dad is yur very good

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

pray all that u desire fall at your feet amp you are overwhelmed with happiness always

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

remember being a music lover since childhood and I feel fortunate to be born in this era

where you sing Your every tweet interviews your meets with your fans has made me

learn so much Its not because you are a celebrity that I follow you its because of the

great human you are I have started valuing so many things in my life just because of you

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

stantly My love and madness for u grew with time today Irsquom 15 and I have reached the

extreme limit I love you more than anyone can love anyone in this world And oh yusss Irsquom

exactly half your age nowP I have been lucky enough to have an encounter with GOD

Though I have met u just once yet I would say that it was one of the best meets possible

on earth I remember that day very well ur touch is divine I experienced heaven 29th

July2013 The best day of my life I am so greatful to rishav and his dad (bishwadeep Chat-

terjee) for thisrsquo) Rishav Is like an elder brother to me and because his dad is yur very good

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

where you sing Your every tweet interviews your meets with your fans has made me

learn so much Its not because you are a celebrity that I follow you its because of the

great human you are I have started valuing so many things in my life just because of you

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

remember being a music lover since childhood and I feel fortunate to be born in this era

where you sing Your every tweet interviews your meets with your fans has made me

learn so much Its not because you are a celebrity that I follow you its because of the

great human you are I have started valuing so many things in my life just because of you

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

I have listened to so many Shreya Ghoshalrsquos songs before but this song totally made me

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

Therere numerous fans of The Shreya Ghoshal insanely crazy for her voice Im from the ones who wor-ship her genuinely

My days starts as well as ends with your voice I know youve read it many times but this is how I can de-fine my relationship with you the best way I am deeply influenced by you in every sense Getting in my headphones with an increased playlist makes me a Gone case though as per my family ) They need to

understand that its the only medicine that WORKS for me Eh

I could never think of setting my foot in Music until I heard you Your passionate singing swayed me to-tally I know I dont matter to you anyway but Im glad that youre aware of my existence somewhere Meeting you was a dream as well as a wish that came true as a blessing Your presence is ethereal )

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

to you somewhere always

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

Going ecstatic when you RT or mentions us admiring your selfies on Instagram some of your tweets that doesnt actually make sense actually makes a lot of sense to me ) Thanking you for all that youve un-

knowingly done for your SGfamily We cheer cry dance celebrate with you ) We love you

WISH YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY SG J

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

remember being a music lover since childhood and I feel fortunate to be born in this era

where you sing Your every tweet interviews your meets with your fans has made me

learn so much Its not because you are a celebrity that I follow you its because of the

great human you are I have started valuing so many things in my life just because of you

You inspire me to work hard in life I remember not going to far off places for studies and

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

ing How full of life is ur singing it takes me to the other world Your love for animals has

somehow made me love them more I am sure of this that all those who follow you will

her devotee ldquoTujh mein rab dikhtardquo This beautiful song actually changed my life made it

better and topped it with happiness I can say thisrdquo Music is the expression of lifehellipand

my Goddess Shreya Ghoshal is the true expresser of Music ldquoI kept on searching for her

songs and most of my favourites were sung by her

There are so many singers( basically born with the mother tongue of north-indian lan-

guages) but I found only Shreya Ghoshal with perfect pronunciations in south-indian

songs She is truly down to earth

She is a person who could be chosen as role-model She is one among the successful

women in this world I entered most of the social-networks mostly to know about her I

got a chance to share bonhomie with other SGians

Even if God asks what is your last wish I would sayrdquo I want to see my Goddess and listen to

her sing liverdquo

Being in born in orthodox family I donrsquot have exposure of parties concerts etc

Even Music is not allowed in home I break the rule and keep fighting for my needs (That

divine Music)

My heartbeat too loves Shreya jirsquos thatrsquos why it goes on like this ldquoSG SG SG SG SGhellip

(75beatsmins ) )rdquo

She is musically enrichedhellipyet Irsquom poor in Music Her voice enriches my soul and mind

It lets me live The song lsquoLive againrsquo I think it was made for meIt encouraged mehelliphow

awesome hellipher singinghellipjust crazy

How far have I come in my lifersquos path Let me not bother about that Who has made me

sail in my life

It is of course Shreya Ghoshal Each tweet of her make me feel crazy happyWhen I see

her onscreen accidently then the people next to me will literally dial to a mental hospital

to take me Believe me I act so damn awkwardly crazy because of immense pleasureI wish

I was born as a boyIf I had been born so I have made her my wife for sure

54

People claim in the world we live in nothing is perfect Well I stand to disagree with this

since light entered my life with the voice of shreya ghoshal No wait The legend Shreya

Ghoshal Yeah that sounds more like it Im no longer just inspired by your voice but the

person Ive grown to know you as Youve become my life My everything Ive come to a

stage where I see my GOD in you If I go on the things Im going to say wont match up to

what I feel amp how much I value you being a part of my life I am truly blessed Thank you

my legend I love you lt3

Yayay its that time of the year again Happy birthday my legend Shreya Ghoshal The most

precious gift anyone can give is their time because they cannot get it back Thank you for

always putting in your time amp effort so that u keep your fans happy be it through your

music or you as a person Through your devotion towards music weve become your devo-

tees Wish you many more years filled with music You make our dreams come true so I

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Toh Duji aur Mann Bhavak Ki din prati Din

aapki Taraf Aadar Badhta Hai

Aapki Jaisi Ek Bhatareen aur pyari gayika

aur kahi nahi dekhi

Aapki Tareef Jitni ki jaye

utni hi kaam LageKyuki aapne har Baar

Apni pyari Muskaan Se Humare liye Pyar bhare Replies se

Aur Apni Adboot Gayakiy Se humare Shabdo ko Haraya Hai

Aapke Chehre Par Muskaan dekh kar Mano esa lagta hai ki

Hamara Dil Indra Dhanush ke rango Se bhar gaya Hai

Aapko kis naam se pukaru

Pari Rajkumari Apsara

Aapki Sundarta Har Kar Kar Main Jhalakti hai

bas Itni se Dharkwaz Hai ki aap Humain Bhool na jana

Janam Din Mubarak aur Pyar Bhare Subkamnaye

Rab se yahi Dua hai

Ki Khushali Aapki Zindagi main Barkarar Rahe

Aur Aapki Saflta Har Shetro main mil jaaye

Bahut Saara Pyaar lt3

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

No words to explicit the exact feelings I have for you I hope SHREYA GHOSHAL DICTIONARY would help me out someday )

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

remember being a music lover since childhood and I feel fortunate to be born in this era

where you sing Your every tweet interviews your meets with your fans has made me

learn so much Its not because you are a celebrity that I follow you its because of the

great human you are I have started valuing so many things in my life just because of you

You inspire me to work hard in life I remember not going to far off places for studies and

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

ing How full of life is ur singing it takes me to the other world Your love for animals has

somehow made me love them more I am sure of this that all those who follow you will

reach heights one day and will be as wonderful as you are Thank You for being there in

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Woh Afsar Hai

Jaha Hum Ishwar ko Aapke Mata Pita ko

Dhanyawad karna Chahte hai

Makhan jaise Soundarya Misri jaise Bol

Dil aapka Komal adaa aapki Katilana

Toh Duji aur Mann Bhavak Ki din prati Din

aapki Taraf Aadar Badhta Hai

Aapki Jaisi Ek Bhatareen aur pyari gayika

aur kahi nahi dekhi

Aapki Tareef Jitni ki jaye

utni hi kaam LageKyuki aapne har Baar

Apni pyari Muskaan Se Humare liye Pyar bhare Replies se

Aur Apni Adboot Gayakiy Se humare Shabdo ko Haraya Hai

Aapke Chehre Par Muskaan dekh kar Mano esa lagta hai ki

Hamara Dil Indra Dhanush ke rango Se bhar gaya Hai

Aapko kis naam se pukaru

Aur Aapki Saflta Har Shetro main mil jaaye

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

Wish you a very very Happy Birthday Shreya di May Lord Shiva bless you with loads of happiness and success You are one the most down to earth person in this whole world and please always stay the

same )

Love u lots didi

Nishant (Your biggest fanencyclopedia)

A dazzling Reminisce

Her passion in music exemplifies the success she attains from her each and every song

Her angelic voice mirrors her love for every genre in music

Her smile creates that atmosphere of serenity in every lyric she sings

Her voice is like velvet dipped in homey which creates her unparalleled self

She speaks for innocence every time she wholeheartedly enlightens the stage

Her acoustic songs often are the most praised as she is a singer recognized for her voice

not for the song

The lyrics she sings powerfully reach the soul as she adds an incompatible amount of

emotion to every word

The uplifting sentiments she expresses as she sings touch every listenerrsquos conscience

She in all is an accomplishment to the world of music and she will for eternity secure this

place

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

Youve brought up the best in me Thank you for gifting us with music If I can sing a bit today its just be-cause of what you have taught me Your every song has so much to learn Well if I start writing about it youll definitely have to skip my friends messages But truly Music is a cord with which I feel connected

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

My Star

Thirty years ago She stepped on earth

to make our lives worth living

She was an angel

An angel disguised as a person

Played with music breathe music

And music flowed in her blood

As she grew her wings fluttered

The sky of success was waiting for her

She flew still the musical rainbow

was far away

But she Hardwork worshiper

Never forgetting the land

from where she had taken off

And this has made all the difference

Now she is an inspiration for millions

An inspiration to follow your dreams

What makes heart sink in love is

Her humble personality

She has influenced many lives

And i count mine in them

For She is my star

My Star Shreya Ghoshal

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

remember being a music lover since childhood and I feel fortunate to be born in this era

where you sing Your every tweet interviews your meets with your fans has made me

learn so much Its not because you are a celebrity that I follow you its because of the

great human you are I have started valuing so many things in my life just because of you

You inspire me to work hard in life I remember not going to far off places for studies and

after having known that you use to cross long distance to learn music my whole outlook

changed Thanks for being so humble and generous It straight away reflects in your sing-

ing How full of life is ur singing it takes me to the other world Your love for animals has

somehow made me love them more I am sure of this that all those who follow you will

reach heights one day and will be as wonderful as you are Thank You for being there in

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

Happpyyy Birthdayyy Shreya

I dont really know where to start off fromI can never think of the right words when it

comes to youYou seem to always leave me speechlessAnd not a lot of people are capa-

ble of that

I think back and try to recollect as to when I actually fell in love with you but I can never

seem to come up with an answer because I never realized when it was happeningI never

realized when your beauty naughtiness strong personality and your chulbuli self made

such a big space in my heart

Your bindass attitude while still staying so humble and down to earth is an inspiration not

just for me but all your fans out there You stay true to yourself and its hard to find people

out there like thatYou inspire me to do better in life I look up to you You are my Role

Model

And because of you I also got to experience the greatest moments of my life by forming a

closer and stronger friendship with my now best friendThe love we share for you brought

us together to such a point where we cant live without one day talking to each other and I

dont think you will ever know how much that means to me Thank you for giving me my

friends

Once again wish a very very Happy BirthdayMay God always protect you and give you all

the blessingsMy Love and Blessings will always be with you and I cant wait to continue

on with the rest of this journey with you )

The Brightest Star-Shreya Ghoshal

We have heard a lot of times -Many people come in our life but then that one person

comes and completely changes it No i donrsquot want to relate here anything with this but

yes she completely proved those lines

A star who brightens my world even on the darkest night She came she turned my life

beautiful with her divine touch she changed my life in a positive way and now when i fall

down just a thought of her makes me rise up The world knows her as -Shreya Ghoshal

An inspiration not just as a musician but the person in her Hardwork Her dedication to-

wards music Her determination Her gentle personality Remaining grounded even after

touching the highest peak These are some of those things which motivates me every day

It is true that what touched my soul first amp always does is her rich divine voice Sad

Happy crying no matter how i am i just bow to her music always But yes the person be-

hind that voice takes my heart away every time One of those thousand things which I

have learned from her is how to think about others happiness before your owns By her

acts of love amp kindness always she has made me a better person She is one in a million

and will always remain

The Queen of Music for many and for others the Nightingale of India But for me She is

my Star who glows the world with her own light(music) Her every twinkle spreads happi-

ness And I am proud amp blessed to have her in life as MY STAR

In this world of dominated by Autotunes and Photoshops if there is anything left that is still original and pristine it has to be your voice The voice of a Goddess

Your voice is like a panacea to me If Irsquom sad or worried about something all I have to do it plug in the headphones and watch my problems vanish into thin air

You are a very big inspiration to me and I canrsquot tell you how much Irsquom thankful for that

Your music makes me strive to sing better Thank you very much Shreya di

If not for your music I may not be listening to so many different genres of songs today Thank you for opening up a whole new world for me

Unknowingly you have influenced my interests a lot (Sherlock TV series LoTR Harry Pot-ter Angry Birdshellipfrankly I can go on) much like what elder sisters do Thank you for being

the elder sister I never had the good fortune of having

I consider myself Super blessed to have met you on 14 Sept 2013 at Chennai Airport and attended your concert later that evening I wasnrsquot lucky enough get to talk to you or get your blessings that day but being at the receiving end of your kindness was enough for me I mean which celebrity would stop for fans when already running late Some lucky

lucky ones even got autographs That was really very sweet of you

And in the evening What a concert you gave us Yoursquore such a brilliant live performer It was my first time and I couldnrsquot have asked for any better I jumped and sang along and

cried in joy that evening it is hands down THE bestest day of my life Thank you very very much

Thank you for your masterpieces ndash Monkemoner Station and Humnasheen

Itrsquos not everyday one gets to see a very in-demand singer going out of her way to spare time for Independent music albums That is where you stand out Your respect and desire for giving something back to your Music doubles the respect I have for you You are a gem

We would love to see more such albums from you Whatever you do you will have SG Familyrsquos support for sure you can count on that

Sorry this became very long one last thing I may not tweet you that often Irsquom not even sure If Irsquoll get to meet you again in my life I just want you to know your music is the best thing that couldrsquove happened to me and you are the best idol anyone could ever have

I love you (very ^ infinity) sup2 much and I want to thank you for everything yoursquove given me You give us so much through your music but all we can give back to you is our love Which

we will in tonnes and tonnes and tonnes J

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the

world who always love to make others happy who always be the reason of others happi-ness who actually knows lsquoThe Perfect Humanityrsquo yeah thatrsquos because she is Goddess She taught us the actual meaning of Love by the lsquoActOfLoversquo I think she is the Angel the God-dess who came here in Earth to distribute and spread lsquoLoversquo among the all people around

the globe and makes this world a good one a happy one the perfect one On her 30th birthday I just pray that she always be happy always be successful and always do every-thing she wants coz if she stay happy we all will also stay happy Love you a lot Goddess

Take care of yourself You are our life

ldquoShreya Ghoshalrdquo this name is enough to describe the greatness of an amazing personal-ity I think no words can express her her talent her awesomeness she is beyond of every words but I just want to share my own feelings about this great lady I watched the reality show lsquoSaregama Juniorrsquo in 1996 where an amazing junior talent named lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo participated with many other surprising talents I cannot remember that show properly

just remember that the Great Singer lsquoSonu Nigamrsquo hosted the show and lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo won it But I clearly remember the 1999-2000rsquos reality show lsquoSaregamaparsquo of Seniors

where Shreya not only won the music journey but also she own a million hearts including some big names of Music Industry and I m also fall in love with her voice And from that very day donrsquot know why I was started to think her as my best friend I dreamed to learn

singing and sing with her but I am unable to learn music due to some family problem amp my dream still just only a dream I made no best friend in college life coz I thought her as my best friend and I always talk with her photos sing with her while listening her song and believe me she is really my best friend who always gives me smile happiness love and everything good never hurt me to me she is the most important person of my life who only matters to me I m mad and crazy fan of her voice but I m not her fan to me she is always my best friend I never celebrate my birthday but I celebrated her birthday since

2005 which is the most important day of the year for me The most unfortunate thing for me is I couldnrsquot meet her yet Hope will meet her soon I wrote many Bengali amp Hindi po-ems on her which I eagerly want to show her In college life on exam days I never prayed to God I always listen her song just before the start of the exam and worship her I think

lsquoShreya Ghoshalrsquo defines Music she defines Purity she defines Beauty she defines Happi-ness she defines Courage she defines Sweetness And thatrsquos why I always like to mention

her as lsquoThe Goddess of Melodyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Purityrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Beautyrsquo lsquoThe Goddess of Happinessrsquo She is also one of the most down to earth celebrity around the
