Nimmi

Give her any song and you feel that only she could have sung it, whatever the mood, lyrics or pitch. Once she sings it, the song belongs to her. She sings so beautifully that you have to think of new words to praise her.

She is a lovely human being as well. Whenever I call her, though I am out of the film industry, she immediately comes on the line and says, "Haan Nimmiji, boliye kaise telephone kiya aapne (How come you called)?" She talks so sweetly and with so much love and respect that I forget what I called her up for!

I have heard one of her hobbies is cooking and feeding people. My turn to taste her cooking has not yet come. I believe that she calls people and feeds them the choicest of dishes and is thrilled when they enjoy it!

I have secretly named her Annapurna!

I don't remember the songs she sung for me. I like all her songs because she sings from the heart.
