Anyone who’s closely followed Baba’s career and worshipped him in one form or the other can tell you that this Punjabi singer is unlike any living creature you’re ever come across on planet earth.
You might remember him for hit singles such as Thanda Thanda Paani and Main bhi Madonna from over two decades ago. But for those who think that Baba Sehgal is a yesteryear phenomenon, think again.
Baba Sehgal has been churning out albums all this time. In fact, he has released four new songs within the last month, the most popular of them being ‘Chicken Fried Rice’
But that’s not the focus of this post. This is about Baba’s quick wit and poetic talent, which is often on display outside the field of music.
His Twitter wall is filled with one-liners (often rhyming) covering everything that transpires on the face of the earth.
