It's heartening to see Jay Shah and the ICC paying tribute. Asha ji's music transcended boundaries, much like cricket. A legend in every sense.

While the tribute is nice, I find it a bit odd for a cricket council chairman to be the one making the official statement. Shouldn't it come from the Ministry of Culture or the President's office first? Just a thought.

The energy in her voice was unmatched! From playful cabaret numbers to soulful ghazals, she did it all. A part of our collective memory is gone. May her soul rest in peace.

Full state honours is the least we can do. She was a national treasure. Her duets with Kishore Kumar and Mohammed Rafi are timeless. Feeling very sad today.

Her international collaborations were fantastic too. Remember her song with Boy George? A true global icon. Rest in power, Asha ji.
