What a remarkable piece Sarthak. I haven’t heard or seen your performance but I must say your writing on music is my favorite writing on music. Not ‘one of my favorites’, but ^favorite^.

Death has a way of pulling us out of our normal day to day to remind how little is in our control. I am blessed to have spent some of that ‘normal day to day’ listening to KK.

Yaaron and Pal were and remain the favourite farewell theme songs. I dont think it is an exaggeration to say that thousands, maybe millions, of students have cried to these songs when graduating out of school or college in India. What a gem we lost, and far too soon. 💔

Thank you for writing this! I knew you would and was waiting for you to express a part of what I feel but cannot seem to express in words.

Lovely tribute! It took me down a trip down my Indi-Pop memory lane as well :) Yaaron was an important song for me and my friends also :)
