लता जी के स्वर्गवास से संगीत जगत में लंबे समय तक सूनापन रहेगा या यूं कहें ये सूनापन बना रहेगा
लेकिन जिस तरह लता जी जाते जाते भी करोड़ो लोगो को लता बनने की प्रेरणा दे गई , लता जी अंतिम विदाई राजकीय सम्मान के साथ होना सुकून दिया , ऐसे बिभूति हमेशा नही मिलते हम खुशनसीब है जिन्हें देखने सुनने का मौका मिला वहीं दूसरे तरफ कुछ कलाकार ऐसे भी हैं जिनके अच्छे काम से वाकिफ सब है
लेकिन उस कलाकार को वो सम्मान नही मिला जिसके वो हकदार है या थे
ऐसे में ही एक नाम है वर्मा मलिक साहब का
