    I remember when I was a kid to listen to Mohammad Rafi’s song, and it was followed by Mohammad Aziz when I grew up teenager, then it’s gone , time flies so fast, the superhero like Amitabh is nearing 70 years old, just like a scorpion’s song: Fly, people fly, everyone of us shall fly leaving this mortal world.
