[Reader-list] Two Iqbals & One Fai

[kirdar singh]

Rahul saheb
For somebody who has seen Begum Akhtar sing live, you can't expect to
find Youtube as cool. The point is that after getting satiated with
things on Utube, would the present generation stop making any efforts
to go out and see things in real when live performances are still
going on. I am not commenting just about you, but its about the fun
and excitment of the efforts one made to go to a concert or a
mushaira, or even buy a book or a record, or memorised a nazm by
hearing it in a mehfil where this was more of a community/social
affair rather than today's the loneliness of your computer.

Yes, there is a lot of "dasht-e tanhai" in the world of computers and internet.
