Hussain’s vinyl collection should not be dismissed as a shop’s merchandise for it also serves as an important archive. This city has a dearth of museums and very few collections of art are there in public spaces. Sharing music archives is still an after thought.

It still remains one of the most beautiful and inspiring buildings in present day Saddar. Almost looking like an anomaly […]
