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.
You know sarthak, I can imagine how deeply this has affected you. I can imagine because long long ago, I suffered something similar. Hold on to the songs, they are all that is left now. And the silence. Hugs.
It has. But KK's music will be part of popular Hindi playlists for a long while to come. The generation that was last touched by his music is still rather young. And we can take some comfort in that. :)
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 so much, man.
What an incredible loss. I still can't quite believe it. That voice was magic.

Brings tears ! Thank you for writing this
Indeed. Can't believe it. Haven't been able to shake it off since last night.

Yeap. Yaaron is still the default choice for such an intimate emotion, twenty years after it released. What a legacy to leave.
💔💔💔
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.
💔 Can't believe it still. We heard him so much, and so often.
Yeah 💔
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 :)
Thanks, Pritam. Was the sound of our generation :)
