Altaf vs Himesh ... conclusion

My last post was indeed interesting. Response was 'interesting' both offline and online. Amongst the civilization(or lack of it as the case may be) of my friend circle the general opinion that surfaced is 'Altaf kind of music is subscribed by shady, uncivilized people'

Yes and No. I’ll attempt explaining the latter.

I believe a certain amount of 'downgrading' is required to appreciate such things. I believe it requires immense maturity to 'downgrade' oneself as against 'upgrading'. In my long existence on terra firma, I have had the opportunity of socializing with villagers of Northern Rajasthan. I also had the opportunity of spending nights in discs, pubs with drunk men and women falling over each other. The former is very very very difficult.

Penultimate Bottom line: If you want to genuinely appreciate Altaf Raja dont look at him, look into yourself. Its your inability to regard him, not his to solicit regards from you.

The final bottom line is always the disclaimer!:-)
