Lata Mangeshkar

Lata Mangeshkar the icon of Indian music left for her heavenly abode today leaving the whole country mourning.

She was not married, had no children but government, police, are personally taking care to ensure her last rights are performed perfectly
Prime minister is flowing down for her funeral
National Holiday has been declared

She wasn't educated, yet her net assets are worth more than many educated around
Her fame and awards speak of her talent

She inspires that although education is essential, persuing a passion alongside can be very beneficial

Live such that many mourn your death; you are remembered till eternity.
