aauu.Ngii ek din aaj jaauu.N (Baseraa)

This is one song in which I find 'the element' that makes me (and I think many others) love an RD song, in a very prominent form. The element which is the differentiating factor between RD and the rest. I have a simple way to describe how RDs music is different than others - which is the difference of 'waah' and 'aah'. It's only RD who brings the 'aah' out. Most of the rest of the bests stop at 'waah'. This song is an example.

It would feature in my all-time 10 favs any day(that is if I *have to*create such a list). The Bangla version of the song - "aashbo aarek din aaj jaai" is also by Asha.
