I feel bereaved.
Jagjit Singh Sahib passed away on 10 Oct 2011.
There is a deluge of many precious memories....falling in love and listening to Jagjit Sahib's gazals (agar hum kahen aur woh muskura dein..........teri ankhon mein hamne kya dekha) late in the night and then drifting away to sleep - only to rewind the cassette on waking up....quoting from his gazals (ek brahman ne kaha hai yeh saal accha hai...), missing my chidlhood in Arunachal ( woh kagaz ki kashti woh barish ka paani...), when being ribbed by friends (tum bhi mere jaise ban jaoge jab ishq tumhein ho jayega), just sitting with Shoby, my dear room mate and listening to him......... exchanging his albums with Amin bhai.......while being in Lebanon and missing home (hum to hain pardes mein..). The list is endless!
May he rest in peace!
