Yes, I brought this review for Sajha viewers. Yes there are grand claims in my remarks and in the title I gave to the thread for local consumption in Kurakani. I don't see anything wrong with that, particularly after seeing 52 postings and the number 1799 recorded in the counter. Now, would the characterization,"relatively comprehensive review", be inaccurate, inappropriate or intellectually dishonest, had it been for a formal forum, although that was not meant to be it originally ? I doubt it would. I have not seen anybody so far, including Ashu and Karmapa, citing any existing REVIEW of Nepali Music which is more COMPREHENSIVE than Anup's. Ashu and Karmapa, cite one example of reviews that proves, once for all, that Anup's review is not RELATIVELY COMPREHENSIVE one. Then I will retract my grand claim. Fair enough ? Ashu also wrote: Nepe who's incapable of speaking ill of his personal and ideological friends no matter how many mistakes they commit while fully capable of twisting the words of those who disagree with his ideas and against whom he's prepared to throw a sense of fair play out of the window to ridicule them beyond recognition, I have not claimed a sainthood. My activity in Sajha includes both ideologically motivated and non-ideological one. So I do not rule out the possibility of my bias, prejudice and differential treatments to people. However, as far as facts are concerned, I have always, in my full awareness, been honest. I take pride in my honesty and opened-ness. These two are my only shree-sampati and I don't think I will ever lose them. ल खा, गयो अर्को ग्य्रान्ड क्लेम । And to those who thought I spoke very high of Anup Pahadi probably because we two are ideological friends, I invite them to the thread 'Dr. Anup PAhadi' Interview'
