Bas ek ‘pal’ – remembering KK; the friend in need.
Leaving this tribute incomplete and unpublished will haunt me forever.

‘Fun’tastic Five – Go Goa-ghar! Part 2
The reason I don't do my blogs in two parts is that Part Two never finds the right time and mood and sadly it remains an untold story, forever lost in the ocean of my memories.
