Her versatility was unmatched! From classical to pop, from cabaret to bhajans. She could sing anything and make it her own. A part of our collective memory is gone. Feeling very sad.

92 is a good age, but it still hurts. Her songs will keep her alive forever. "Mera Kuch Samaan" is playing on loop at my home today. Rest in peace, Asha Tai.
