I was watching the Zee TV program “Sa Re Ga Ma Pa Little Champs” (aka Lil Champs), and this little girl Shalini Mukherjee sang the Usha Uthup song “Jhum Jhum Jhum Baba”! What a performance it was! Made me sit up and take notice.

Shalini will surely be a star someday. And that day is not too far off.

Way to go, Shalini!
