Beat the Monday blues with Ab tere bin jee lenge hum by Kumar Sanu Beat the Monday blues with Ab tere bin jee lenge hum by Kumar Sanu

The most beautiful way to star my Mondays, reading Sulagana Biswas' column "Beat The Monday Blues" in The Telegraph - T2. Here's a poignant homage to the music that sustained my 90s, and at least for me, kept my dreams alive in a world that was mostly full of bad humans.
