Romantic Kishoreda Numbers
2008-05-10 00:49:00 This job is getting tougher with each passing day, as I try to compile newer Kishore Kumar song lists.

Sanedo Sanedo? Ji Ho Lal Sanedo
2008-05-02 22:58:00 I suppose, I almost landed there this time. This is the original Maniraj Barot, no doubt about it. But, this ain’t the original Sanedo I was looking forward to, I suspect.

Continuing With The Debate On Osho?s Controversies
2008-04-20 02:17:00 I have started to believe of late, that one should try to keep away from the Osho communes and his followers.
