Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna ...

10 years ago, Sanjay Manjrekar released an album, Restday in which he sung the favorites of the top Indian cricketers of the day - Azharuddin, Tendulkar, Srinath and Kumble. Kumble's number was titled 'Kabhi Alvida Na Kehna' which translates to 'Never say Good-Bye'. Today as Kumble celebrates a monumental landmark in his career and Indian cricket history, it seems appropriate to remember these words in the light of the calls "pundits" were making for his good-bye just a year ago. Kumble has enjoyed probably the best year in his career and looks good to serve India as a match-winning bowler for a few seasons to come at least. Harsha Bhogle has his say about how Kumble has transformed his twilight into high noon.
