Pancham's creativity with songs, prelude/interlude, "pick-ups"

BOSS gave us unconventional and innovative "pick-ups" in numerous songs. And I think there are many examples where HE not only utilized great pick-ups but also used non-percussion instruments...

One that comes to my mind right away....
Nahin Nahin Abhi Nahin --> magnificent pick-up with guitar, voice and percussion and saxophone....trememdous!!!!
Also, right before the 1st stanza --> unbelievable pick-ups

Similarly what a spectacular pick-up in guitar....
Aaj Ki Raat Koi Aane Ko Hai Re... --> possibly the very first time in Indian Music

Extremely creative pick-up in 
Aao Na Gale Lag Jao Naa... --> honestly I'm in love with the rhythm and the beat variations.....spectacular use of 'triangle'...UFFFFFF!!!
And who knew one can use a FLUTE in such a rhythmic way!!!! Guess only GENIUS could...And off course the superb use of xylophone.

Another masterpiece....
Jabo Ki Jabo Na.... --> what a spectacular and creative pick-up with just guitar and then "tak tak...." on bongo

One other fantastic....
Jeevan ke har mod pe --> picks up in guitar and then "tak"...superbbbb!!!! In fact this song should be a "rhythm case-study" for Masters classes in Percussion/Rhythm....a song full of variations.

Another outstanding pick-up in a song...
Kitna Pyara Wada -->starts with violin-ensemblem then Rafi Sahab adds to the pick-up taken away by rhythm....and majestic mandolin and what a beat that follows????

Outstanding in my view is pick-up in Piano...
Chalkaon Jhum Ke Paimana Khushi Ka... --> super fast grand piano sets the tone...a deep bass-guitar stroke and then picks up with rhythm

Another guitar-percussion-bass-guitar combo in...
Teri Meri Meri Teri Yaari Bari Purani....

Also check out this Superbbb and extremely creative one...
Diwana Karke Choroge... --> just guitar and triangle, reso-reso and then duggi and the rest is history....starting the song in bongo...ufff!!! outstanding!!!

One of my favourite in pick-up and rhythm...
Jab Tum Chale Jaoge To Yaad Bahoot Aaogi... --> organ, guitar, dialogue...guitar strums and the beats!!!! Totally out of this world!!!

Above ALL, everyone favourite....
O Mere Dil Ke Chain.... --> I have no idea how one can start a song in such a spell bounding way....This song should also be taught in the Masters classes in Music

Guess time to get back to my songs.....

!!!JAI PANCHAM!!!!
