Tak dhina dhin is Pancham all the way, with a punchy new sound to the boot, much like Bachke O Bachke, which has select portions of its tune in the...

I got a mail from the owner of another music-related blog, Music Aloud, asking me if I’m interested in a link exchange. That’s when I realized that Milliblog could be...
