Odisha has taken leaps and bounds in terms of hospitality and tourism over the last decade or so and Preeti seems to be seeping in the culture, history, and glory of this place. She loves exploring new places and this was something on her list which was not ticked off. They hadn't been on a holiday for a long time and it was a perfect time to go as the weather in Odhisha is perfect at this time of the year!
We spoke to Preeti and here is what she says, "I had heard so much about this place that a part of me always wanted to come here. The temples here are simply beautiful. They have such great architecture, sculptures, carvings, and art. The country needs to know more about Odhisha and its scenic beauty for sure. They have so much history, culture and the hospitality here is incredible. The people are very loving, kind, and soft-spoken. I visited the World famous Puri Beach and as we all know It has already received Blue Flag status! We also got the opportunity to meet Mr. Sudarshan Patnaik who is renowned the world over for his sand art. Odisha is a blissful place and we could not have asked for a better start to our New Year. Love and light to all."

 Singer 'Sawani Ravindra' sang 'Ladiwala' for Sharvi

Singer Savani Ravindra says about Angai Geeta, "I think mother and Angai are a supernatural equation. Even though the mother is not a singer, the feeling of mother is always a catalyst for her baby as a linger and then if the singer is a mother then how can she stay away from linger singing It was only when I found out that I was pregnant that I decided to sing a special song for my baby. He said, "Sawani, shall we go to bed? And he literally recognized my mind. Then I called my dear brother Vaibhav Joshi. Then Dada said to me, Sawani, what gift do you want, now you are going to be a mother ... I said, Dada, make a lullaby for me. That should be a great gift for me. "

Sawani narrated the story during the recording of Angai Geet, "When Vaibhav Dada wrote Angai Geet for me, I did not know if I had a daughter or a son. That is why I named this song Ladiwala. The lyrics of the song are very beautifully written by Vaibhav Dada. When I sang this song for the first time, all of a sudden my baby moved his arms and legs in his stomach and made me realize that baby also loves to sleep. The moment was very special for me. We have done this lullaby in both Marathi and Bengali. Salil Dada wanted the lullaby to be so sweet and melodious. So this lullaby should be in Bengali language.

"Ashish and I shot some shots when I was pregnant and after the pregnancy, Ashish and I shot some shots with Sharvi. Those moments are very precious to me. This video was directed by Piyush Kulkarni and his team very well. Ninth." I am very happy to bring you all the special lullaby sung during the month. Every song is special to me every time but this song will be a lifetime memory for me and Ashish and Sharvi. I hope you all will definitely like this lullaby. "
