Early morning thought - Was Mowgli from Rudyard Kipling鈥檚 Jungle Book inspired by Romulus and Remus from the Legends of Greece and Rome? Do let me know your answers? #RudyardKipling #junglebook #mowgli #Rome

You want to takk about issues? Today Bharat Ratna Ustad Bismillah Khan鈥檚 home was bulldozed over non- maintenance. A legend鈥檚 home lost due to beaurocracy and red tape. Couldn鈥檛 they have repaired the home and turned portions of it into a memorial? I visited to ask his permission before I did a jugalbandi with his principal disciple. He gave both of us his blessings . I cry today that his house has been bulldozed vindictively. He used to bathe in the Ganges and perform in the Durga Mandir near Sankatmochan every day. Religion was not an issue for him, Music was. He believed Music had no religion and was Universal! I am heartbroken today. Bismillah Khan will never disappear from our lives. The government鈥檚 attitudes hurt deeply. @ShekharGupta @virsanghvi @INTACHIndia @sardesairajdeep @PrannoyRoy7749 @realpreityzinta
