The launch ceremony comprised of visualizations of Halarda by renowned Kathak exponents Ishira Parikh – Maulik Shah as well as Manifestation of mother’s emotions by Shuba Desai and her prodigy Uttara Parikh. They performed on different tracks from the album ‘Halarda’. Lalitya also sang one of the tracks.

Talking about the need for releasing an album for little ones, Lalitya said “In our busy world, it’s easy to forget the time-honored practice of singing to our little ones. Lullabies provide a joyful, soul-soothing way to calm your fussy baby or to help lull her to sleep (and to calm yourself at the same time). There is just no substitute for these quiet moments of connection — time spent nurturing your little love. So, get comfortable in that rocking chair, and enjoy a few moments of peace while listening to my album ‘Halarda”.

Lalitya added “Lullabies have been an integral part of Indian culture and heritage. It has been scientifically proven that listening to lullabies during pregnancy does have an enhancing and soothing effect on the unborn child. As a child, my first experience of music was through lullabies . The child feels the first touch of its mother’s love through lullabies only. she added In this modern era, where lullabies are on verge of being extinct , efforts to recreate the magic of popular lyrics by putting them to contemporary music shall work wonders in resurrecting lullabies back to its worthy place in current Indian ethos.”

Talking about the album, Lalitya said, “The album comprises of ten lullabies. We have composed some evergreen and classic Indian lullabies, and also included a few fresh ones expressing the thoughts of new age mothers. The album has age-old lullabies by famous Gujarati poet Shri Jhaverchand Meghani, “Neendardi re…”, Vaulia ho…” “Sav re Sonanu…” and “Neendar Bhari re..”(composed by Avinash Vyas) as well as Meghani’s popular “Shivaji nu halardu…” also. Besides these five classics of famous Kavi Meghani, Halarda has three lullabies penned by another famous Gujarati poet Shri Madhav Ramanuj viz. “Chandan nu Parnu…” “Dhiar re aajo..” and Baheno tame Dev na didhel…”. Two more traditional lullabies “Jhulo Jhulo Lalmata…” and “Sui ja sui ja…” makes the album useful for cross section of the society. ‘Lori’ in hindi has been written by lyricist Shri Shekhar Astitwa namely Nindariya ho, Nind bhari re, Soja soja ladle, Badarwa ho, Chandan ka palna, Aaja ri aari, Savra salona mera, Soja re tu soja, Tuhi mere nainaoka tara, Sivaji ko ninda na ave . The music has been mixed and mastered at Re n Raga Studio, Mumbai.

Gulzar is a mighty poetic genius, though he is from a family of traders. At the initial stages of his career in Bollywood, he had assisted yesteryear filmmakers like Hrishikesh Mukherjee and Bimal Roy in their works. His journey as a poet started when he began to pen soulful lyrics for Bollywood’s cinematic creations.

The combination of Gulzar’s poetry and R D Burman’s music is unforgettable till date. Music is an inseparable part of Indian cinema and Gulzar is a special mention among the lyricist of all times. One’s mind and heart still dances to his enchanting lyrics that the yesteryear movies overflow with.

Gulzar realized the flourish of a filmmaker in him from the 1970s. His individual style of filmmaking established him as an independent filmmaker. Mere Apne, Aandhi and Maachis are among the feathers in his cap. In recent times, Gulzar’s lyrics through A R Rahman’s music in Dil Se, Guru and Slumdog Millionaire stir the strings of souls.

Even at the age of 75, the tempo of his creativity does not seem to abate. The words from his poetic dictionary are as fresh as dew drops on the petals of budding flowers.
