Music, when the lyrics describe some purposeful emotion or thought. These posts are in a mix of English/Hindi or English/Kannada pairs. With the advent of Google's transliteration, it is unnecessary to have inconsistent and misleading hand-crafted English transliterations of originals, for Hindi and Kannada in this blog's case. [If a transliteration is required, it can always be produced by software]. Hindustani ragas are shown in Devanagari, e.g., ♫देश; Carnatic, in Kannada, e.g., ♫ಖರಹರಪ್ರಿಯ.

It is rather rare that an actor or an actress also provides the singing based on a classical raag. Amitabh Bachchan does this well here. A musical pun, in a female voice later in the story, recounts the heartbreak.

Right Here Waiting
I had heard this song some years ago, and was pleasantly surprised to find it on YouTube.
This song describes the sentiment when lovers [have to] drift apart. The instrumental melody itself is very hummable. This song must have been so popular that it has garnered a Wikipedia article.
