First Lata Mangeshkar. Now Asha Bhosle. Different styles, both touched by greatness. So many great songs, for me Umrao Jaan was the cherry on the top.

The news about portraying Trump as Mahishasura has become quite popular, but in Kolkata's Bhavanipur, the Dey family's Durga Puja has had the Goddess slaying a blonde British Asura since 1870.
That was a time of colonised India when the 'sun never set on the British Empire.'
