As many of you may remember, earlier this summer we had a series of
four surveys on Lata. Each survey covered a specific period and
together the four surveys covered the entire career of Lata (so far).
After these period-based ones, the idea was to have one final survey
that would cover the entire span of Lata's career in one go. I know
that many of you are waiting for that. I didn't plan to have a break
this long but that's how it turned out to be. Anyway, here I am, with
that final one, at least before the year is over. Let's give these
surveys on Lata's desert island songs a conclusion. Let's have the
most difficult of them all.
Two changes:
1. You can choose up to 50 songs. (Ha! that's comforting.)
2. Lata's non-film output is now in the mix too. (So if you insist,
you can choose 'ai mere vatan ke logo' for that desert island.)
You don't need to have participated in any of the earlier surveys to
send your entry for this one. It is independent and complete on its
own.
For those who are familiar with the survey format, and can't wait to
start, the survey page is here:
http://survey.giitaayan.com/lata/
I will suggest though to read the following rules, guidelines and
notes first:
* A desert island implies a place where you have no one else and
nothing else to do. So you are expected to select scores that appeal
to you for their repeat value and solitary listening pleasure among
other things. But YMMV.
* A short-list is provided on the survey page to help you select your
favorites. It is essentially a list of around top 120 songs from each
of the four period-based surveys, plus selected non-film solos.
* If you want to pick a song that you don't see in the short-list,
type it in the box named "Type songs not in the shortlist".
* Solos, solos with chorus, or songs where Lata has sung all lines can
be submitted.
* Combining box 1 and 2, your submission must not exceed 50 songs.
* There is no minimum limit. It is important that you submit only your
absolute favorites. There is no need to fill in all the slots if you
can't find enough desert-island material songs.
* The survey page is self-explanatory. Apart from your selections, you
need to provide your name and email address. Please use your popular
name/alias and a valid email id.
* There is a count of songs available to help you know at all times
how many songs you have selected and how many more you can.
* There is a "Toggle script" link that lets you choose to see the
songs in either Nagari (Hindi) or Roman (English) script.
* You can search giitaayan for lyrics and stats of some of the songs
directly from the survey page; just select the movie name and click
giitaayan's icon.
* When you submit your entry, you will see a confirmation page with a
list of the songs selected by you. Please save the list for your
records.
* To revise your entry, simply send another entry with same name and
email id. All entries except your last one will be discarded.
* The tentative last date of accepting submission is November 19, 2010
(Friday). This gives you about three weeks' time.
* That's all. Enjoy!

This was the most massive SurveykshaN exercise on many levels. The
sheer number of songs from a humongous period of over sixty years
necessitated that. It was only fair that more people participated in
this final Lata survey than any of the earlier ones. I would have been
disappointed otherwise. Here are the results.
To reiterate the survey question, I asked you to select up to 50 solos
sung by Lata for Hindi films or non-film albums, for a desert island
scenario. You were presented a short-list of over 500 songs, created
using top songs of earlier period-based Lata survey results, but you
were free to choose songs from outside the short-list.
In my opinion, this particular survey should be thought as a
"favorites among favorites" kind of exercise. I don't think it covered
the detail to the level that earlier period-based surveys did. And in
that sense it was less precise. Because of its broadness, you may see
many great songs missing the final list, despite the fact that over an
unprecedented 600 songs were selected by participants. But that's
Lata for you. It's hard to cover her in one single survey. And that
was exactly the point we started with.
With that said, let's cherish the songs. I am presenting below some of
the top favorites selected by you, for the lack of space here. A much
more detailed and complete list is available at the SurveykshaN
website at:

A complete list of all selected songs along with the rest of the
results is available at the SurveykshaN web site at http://survey.giitaayan.com/lata/.
Results of earlier period-based Lata surveys (and other SurveykshaNs)
are also available at the same site.
With this, we conclude a series of surveys that started with an idea
that if we have to do it (i.e. to create some list of Lata's songs),
we should at least put some effort in the process and try to do it
well. I don't know if these lists are better than anyone else's. I
don't think so. And that was not the idea anyway. But they are
certainly more representative and something I can respect and learn
from.
Thanks again to everyone who participated in this and earlier Lata
surveys. Also thanks to the volunteers who helped with the short-list
and other documents.
Feel free to add your own analysis of the results. Also pass on the
results to your forums and communities. If you see any errors, please
let me know.

A complete list of all selected songs along with the rest of the
results is available at the SurveykshaN web site at http://survey.giitaayan.com/lata/.
Results of earlier period-based Lata surveys (and other SurveykshaNs)
are also available at the same site.
With this, we conclude a series of surveys that started with an idea
that if we have to do it (i.e. to create some list of Lata's songs),
we should at least put some effort in the process and try to do it
well. I don't know if these lists are better than anyone else's. I
don't think so. And that was not the idea anyway. But they are
certainly more representative and something I can respect and learn
from.
Thanks again to everyone who participated in this and earlier Lata
surveys. Also thanks to the volunteers who helped with the short-list
and other documents.
Feel free to add your own analysis of the results. Also pass on the
results to your forums and communities. If you see any errors, please
let me know.
