It has been scientifically proven that listening to lullabies during pregnancy does have an enhancing and soothing effect on the unborn child. As a child, my first experience of music was through lullabies . The child feels the first touch of its mother's love through lullabies only. she added In this modern era, where lullabies are on verge of being extinct , efforts to recreate the magic of popular lyrics by putting them to contemporary music shall work wonders in resurrecting lullabies back to its worthy place in current Indian ethos."

Besides these five classics of famous Kavi Meghani, Halarda has three lullabies penned by another famous Gujarati poet Shri Madhav Ramanuj viz. "Chandan nu Parnu…" "Dhiar re aajo.." and Baheno tame Dev na didhel…".
