Bhupen Hazarika had a distinct voice, clear and easily recognizable. His voice had the power to make everyone stop and listen. In a career spanning over half a century, he donned several hats such as a film-maker, singer, composer, journalist and author among others. The legend left this world after a long illness. India has lost two music maestro’s in less than a month, the other being irreplaceable ghazal singer Jagjit Singh, who passed away last month after fighting a massive brain stroke.

May he rest in peace. ‘Dil hoom hoom kare’ and ‘Oh Ganga Tum, Ganga Behti Ho Kyun?’ will resonate among his fans for a long time to come.
