“That’s home. That’s here. That’s us.”
For anyone who needs to hear ‘Pale Blue Dot’ — on the famous photograph of 🌏 taken from 6 billion km away by the Voyager 1 spacecraft in Feb 1990 at the request of astronomer Carl Sagan.
He was only 53.
He sang his last song.
And quietly passed away.
In music he lived life, in music he met death.
Sorrow is for the rest of us, for KK it’s possibly a Stairway to Heaven.
“मोक्ष एक सुंदर कल्पना है। मैं ईश्वर से हमेशा ये माँगती रही हूँ कि यदि हो सके तो वो मुझे दोबारा जन्म न दे।
मेरा संगीत ही मुझे अन्ततः जन्म मृत्यु के खेल से मुक्त करेगा।
मुझे गाना मिला है, वहीं मेरा ईश्वर भी है”
-लता मंगेशकर
