It is was the sister's birthday. Every year, I tell her that she shares birthday with Michael Jackson and Dhyanchand. The latter being the great hockey player and captain of the Indian team, who brought gold medal and pride to the nation. While even Google paid homage to the pop star today, I wonder there was any mention of the hockey player on the 24 hour news channels in India. But that is a different debate left to the purists.
For me, all the 3 mentioned above are greats. MJ was probably my introduction to the American popular music. Dhyanchand was the prodigal genius that he was. My sis joins their ranks of greatness for me for having jhello-fied me all along.
Happy birthday
