Dear friends,

In the course of one's journey, there are tremendous influences that shape us to being, what we are.

Family values and home environment, peers, our education, travel experiences, cross cultural exchanges, the books we have read, films, iconic personalities etc and music..

One such legend that left an indelible imprint in our hearts and minds is Rahul Dev Burman.

An absolute genius, a maverick musician..with loads of talent and the guts to see it through.

He infused music from different cultures into ours and created magic!!

Today is his birth anniversary.

We can't stop thanking him for bringing such immense joy into our lives and he continues to do so even today..

A timeless and brilliant legend. We humbly bow down to this great.

Sharing a link of an outstanding song, composed by him and sung by the nightingale of our country, Lata Mangeshkar..

And the magic in this song is that even the harmonies (overlapping voice) are sung by Lataji herself.
