This brief clip showcases the musical talent of Sushovan Roy. Dr. Roy is the one person I truly envy: a brilliant AIIMS-educated psychiatrist with a blooming practice in Thatcherite-London, he left everything to become a teacher in Pokhra under the icy-slopes of the Annapoorna in faraway Nepal. About a decade ago, he returned to the Motherland after being suspected by the Royalist Government of being pro-Maoist (as a matter of fact, several of his former 'students' now occupy high positions in the present Nepalese administration). In this straight-from-the-heart rendition of the Gulzar-RD Burman number, Tujsé Naraz Nahi Zindagi (I am not angry with you, Life), notice how he infuses fresh angst into each word he sings.
Personally, I find both the choice of song as well as its rendition by Dr. Roy particularly apt in light of yesterday's development (for those who haven't already heard, our longtime bête noire Mr. Vidya Charan Shukla finally marched back to the Congress ahead of an imminent midterm poll).
Also seen in this clip are Dr. Krishna Reddy and Dr. Saibel Farishta.
