The little one whom I have seen as any other boy pursuing Indian Classical Music later surprised me. I was watching the TV casually. Suddenly I became very alert and found a young man singing Raag Marwa. I never expected such Gayki and tonal quality from an unknown singer. He presented the Alaap in Vilambit.

Syed Farooq,a delivery man, found himself without the required fuel in his bike's tank. Without any hesitation he immediately rushed to one of his friends who is the owner of a horse. He related his urgency and took his horse. He tied all the foods in the saddle and rode away.In this way he only used one HP instead 14/20Hp to complete his job. People around took his photo: After all one doesn't see a delivery man using a horse for such purpose every day!                                 Author Saibal Kumar Deb
