The only difference is that other people go on vacation shopping while we go on educational vacations. We will visit historical monuments in Europe. Everyone in our family is interested in history, culture, and archaeological sculpture. When you hear her (Lata Mangeshkar) sing, it’s obvious that she is an intelligent singer. She was equally intelligent when she spoke. She is also a very funny person who makes people roll with laughter. She has an amazing sense of humor. “
