:: The Legend
|
"Music has a natural place in our lives. Right from the shloka you recite in your morning puja and the milkman who comes whistling on his cycle, to the fakir singing as he begs for alms and your mother humming around the kitchen. Music fills our spaces naturally. It will always be dear to us."

"Jis ki awaaz mein salwat hoo nigahon main shikan,
Aaisee tasveer ke tukde nahi joda karte."
"Shaam se aankh mein nami sii hai,aaj phir aap kii kamii sii hai"
"baat nikalegii to phir duur talak jaayegii,log bevajah udaasii kaa sabab pUchhenge,ye bhii puuchhenge ke tum itanii pareshan kyun ho"
