Kishore Kumar

He refused scripts that bored him — “Not today. Not with him,” he said and moved on to whatever caught his fancy. He could bicker and charm at the same time — and somehow win without trying. He walked into studios as if rules were polite suggestions, winking at anyone who tried to stop him. Kishore Kumar was a grin that made melodies blush, a mood that made chaos charming and a presence so magnetic that the world paused… just to see what he would do next.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
