I fell in love with the man and his voice over this number, which was the first that I'd heard out of his numerous renditions,
'Baat karni mujhe mushkil kabhi aise tho na thi
Jaise ab hai teri mehefil ................ '
He'd performed at the Tagore Centenary hall, at Kozhikode in 2002 and won the hearts of the people by his rendition. He was in the city to undergo treatment at the renowned Kottakkal Arya Vaidyasala at the behest of the then PM, Mr. Atal Behari Vajpayee. After the concert, so overwhelmed was he by the response from the audience that he'd promised to return yet again. That promise he'd never be able to keep, ever.
RIP Mehdi Hassanji. My humble bows to a phenomenon!
