The best part of being a writer is you create your own universe as God does. These words stuck in my mind one day while I was deep in thought. I liked it and thought that one day, when the appropriate time arrives, I would write it or maybe use it in one of my pieces. I never imagined I would use it for Stan Lee.

10th October, personally, was one of the saddest dates of my life, as I recall the news of the demise of the Ghazal maestro Jagjit Singh Ji.

To be honest, I feel the same as I did seven years ago; his death deeply hurt me and many of us.
