In the everyday festival of negativity that we live in, dear Shah has been a beautiful light of positivity and patience.

If you have been following the status updates and the story of the man, you'll get the picture. I have become a fan and even beginning to like his song now. It has made us laugh and feel good. Lets be nice and thank the gentle man.

Instead of an eye for an eye, a little of eye to eye is the message to our leadership, Indo-Pak folks and the Taliban too, maybe.

Love and peace.
