Get a voice to die for!
His voice intrigued me to the point that I wanted to pick up my mobile phone and talk to him right then. “Do you want to talk right now,” he asked, his voice vibrated. I am at utter loss of words. “Yeah, if you can,” my voice muffled. “Go on then,” the mesmerising voice that can evoke thousands of desires, can seduce you, a voice that can soothe a baby to sleep and still rock, echoed in my ears. How it had given me sleepless nights from the day I heard him! “Hi. I am Neelesh Misra, Yaad Sheher Ka Neelesh Misra.” Neither do I know him like others nor want to check out his profile on Facebook. I just love his voice. Some voices have it, they reverberate in your mind and heart - a stranger’s wrong number call on your mobile, a voice overheard in a bus…some voices remain forever.
