PS: This is not my son. But my son is equally musically inclined if not more.

This part of the interview leaves me with goosebumps and teary eyes. And also speaks volumes about the spirituality behind his music. No wonder people want to call him God, which he is for so many singers and instrumentalists for whom he has selflessly transferred fame. Anyway thats a post for another day. For now, […]

‘Water’ is in the shortlist of the 9 films that will be considered for the nominations. It is still in the race for the final award. I don’t know why it is called a […]
