Today I saw an obituary in Delhi edition of Times of India for Mohd.
Rafi published by a 'Mohd. Rafi Memorial Society'. It might be more
common but I happen to see such a tribute to a legend these days for
the first time.

It says -
"To live in the hearts of entire world is never to die. khudaa kare ke
qayaamat ho aur tuu aa_e"

Well said.

TOI, Mumbai edition  page 12 carries multiple pics of Mohd. Rafi. by
sponsors of a musical tribute to him titled Sirf Rafi today at 7.45pm at
Sivaswamy auditorium, Chembur Mumbai.

One of my friends called me to inform some idiot RJ on some private FM
channel in Mumbai wished Rafi a Happy Birthday TODAY!!!
These are people who do not know abc of real good music or who a Rafi or
other oldies are.
I was shocked when she informed me about it. Unfortunately, she couldn't
recall which channel or RJ it was.
