SHANTABAI IS WELL KNOWN AS A POETESS. BUT WE ALL ARE AWARE THAT SHE IS EQUALLY FAMOUS AS A LYRICIST COMPOSING FOR MOVIES AND DRAMAS. SHE IS A LEADING LYRICIST TODAY. WHILE COMING UP WITH LYRICS SHE HAS TRIED DIFFERENT FORMATS OF IT. SHE HAS WRITTEN MUCH IN THE FORMAT OF `LAVANI` AND `GOULAN` AND GIVEN A CERTAIN DEPTH TO THESE FORMATS. THIS BOOK IS COMPILED OF MANY SUCH FORMS, IT INCLUDES MANY OF HER FAMOUS DUETS. THOUGH SHE WROTE IT ON A COMMERCIAL BASIS, SHE DID NOT LOSE HER PASSION FOR WRITING. THE COMPOSITIONS HERE HAVE A MIDAS TOUCH.
