hymn that blows you away

‘Kisi baat par main kisi se khafa hoon, main zinda hoon par zindagi se khafa hoon’. The lyrics of mundane joy, a rendition that will stir your soul, the meaning that will wrench your veins, the inadequate fear that encapsulates the primal human being, an era that remains the home to divinity in the playbackContinue reading “hymn that blows you away”

Tribute: Legends of Cricket: Martin Crowe

   Some players must be measured by the times they played in, not in terms of averages. Martin Crowe was one such artist.
