ALTAF RAJA
My Dad left
for his heavenly abode at the midnight hour of the Golden jubilee of our
independence day,(1997) when I was posted in the Naval Unit NCC Baroda....My
brother rang me up just past midnight from our Jamnagar Home...
An hour later I
with Meena and two small kids were on road in our Maruti Van...Non stop we
drove...till then I was in a tearless terrible shock...in the morning we
stopped at a tea-stall...while I just had my first sip, this song with a lot of
meaning , welled up my emotions and lifted the shutters of my tear dams...Altaf
Raja had just appeared on the musical scene with his record...
Two years ago I
personally met him at a concert organized by the Army in AOI, Mumbai and
conveyed the episode and my felicitations....He is a down to earth person
without airs about his fame…. It was a pleasure to meet him.
