TRIVIA:
1. My brother Dr Venugopal was in a habit of calling all his brothers and sister on phone every weekend to know our welfare. He was so lovable and kind hearted and very much concerned about others welfare . This quality of his had made him a much wanted doctor in Pudukotaai. In one of his such calls , he introduced me this song of Betty Midler.
2. He had listened it in US when he was with Rekha, as a live programme, when Midler was singing for the 9/11 Memorial day. All those that had gathered there were in tears at the end, which had stirred the heart of my brother also. He was telling me about that. He used to like this song very much.
