In this world of ours there are great people and then there are legends. And among these, there are but a few that become legends during their lifetimes.
This rare breed of people is known as Living Legends. Pankaj Mullick was one such.
The aura of this legend has gathered a bit of dust since his life, in this mortal world of ours, came to a somewhat premature end. It has thus become quite necessary to blow all the dust away and unravel the glorious life of an ordinary man blessed with an extraordinary talent, who has left behind indelible footprints in the sands of time.
It is now time to turn back the hands of the clock…
It is now time for a resurrection.
