The situation today is really very challenging, more so for we, doctors. We are continuously working under stressful situations, and we are taking our duties very sincerely and caring for the patients. We doctors work continuously for 6 hours in a PPE kit wearing N 95 masks. We are supposed to take every possible precaution …
The Magical – ‘Nadeem Shravan’
Actually I was gathering information on the popular films and film songs of 1997, when I came to know about the sad demise of Shravan, from the composer duo, Nadeem Shravan. It was a shock as I wasn't aware of his ill health at all. The duo was at the top of the Hindi film …

Kalyanji Veerji Shah, the elder brother …
Remembering Indeevar – I
