Hyaa, my apologies if my reply was a little harsh, I was just trying to imitate your tone, and yes, the world does not have to agree, read it again, I never asked anyone to comply with me. It was my personal thought which would go unnoticed soon. But as far as quality music and the caliber of listener goes, stand in the same platform and question yourself after five years, if the answer is still the same, then I consider myself wrong. Timetraveller, Thanks for the full points, people here have swore to fail me. I have no problem to listening to those music, infact I accidentally do sometimes, but then the question arises as how can we justify the success of such music which has very little to do with quality. My own dear bohemian erudite Nepe dai, Gratified by your reply, I was actually looking for words to reply you all this time. Thanks for agreeing dai, it really means a lot when an aesthetic icon par excellence like you makes a remark. And no! You can never write like me because you always write BETTER. I live eat and sleep music as long as it justifies its quality. Starting from Miles Davis and Phil Collins to Narayan Gopal, Arun Lama and Bhaktaraj Acharya to Mehdi Hassan, Talat Mehmood and Ghulam Ali, I claim I heard it all, but the present musical scenario derides it. It asks me to dance in the tunes of “china company” and a Girish Praneel song. No offenses, but they could have established themselves as a far better artist than they should have been. Like you said, I have not heard a single flawless Nepali song for almost a decade which actually soothes my soul. I live on Ghalib’s and Bahadur Shah Jaffar’s poetries, and I often compare the present musical lyrics to the one set by those. I could endure even a small percent of Ghalib-alike lyric in them, but when there are none at all, I find it appalling. A silent reader of your web based epic, and the song addressed to Sitara and many other sher – o - sayaris I hail you as a harbinger of a good Nepalese music. Start a revolution, I would be the first one to join your team. Flippy, Thanks a lot, I am so glad that one of my dearest girls here agrees with me. I was listening to Fleetwood Mac and Cliff Richard in the local fm lately, it suddenly was followed by Snoop Dogg . Not that I hate snoop, but he broke my melodic sequence, I could never forgive that Radio host. Mansion, True, very true, but you missed the point, we are also talking about quality listeners here. Suna, Accept my warm greetings, although this is the first time we are writing each other, I feel we have been writing for ages. I like the way you aptly put your reply without digression. If you cringe, I cower.I the rappers actually intimidate me, with their flawless tunes but claptrap lyrics, they can entice wannabe homeys we find here at sajha - not me. Give me Narayan Gopal and Kunti and manila- uday and deep shrestha, I shall rest in peace.
