[Reader-list] Is this a Forum for fake ID's

[Shashidhar]

Why call Bauls bad people, cmon in this day and age our understanding of music and the joy it can give is through  Indian idol programs where music and money are cultivated, we will  always needs people who follow the baul tradition. They have been inspiring to say the least, just because someone assume the name and antagonises people on the forum, please do not chastise the entire clan. More malls than cows that is a first, do visit certain places in Bengal and you will understand the need to be intoxicated on music. 

Let him be, ignore him if nothing else, he has managed to already reduce the forum to a petty gossip column. 
Peace.

Shashi

And I third the opinion in question, voting (thirding, v.) with both hands. Many words have been spoken since Rakeshji posted the first message of this thread (below). I haven't read them. Don't ask me why.
Sometimes there are no why's 'n all, yaar.

I just want to say one little thing. This Baul, whoever s/he really is, has to be a bad character, no doubt about that. First, s/he has violated copyright by taking another's (Kaulji's) first and middle names ... showing a (nominal) middle finger you can say. Second, s/he calls herself/himself Baul, and everybody knows Bauls are bad people.
Some of them are known to smoke the bad stuff. You know, the stuff that gets you high. And they sing-and-dance about love 'n all. Love of God? Bullshit, yaar. It's all about you know what. They are sort of rebels. Think of that! In this day and age, when India is growing really fast 'n all, and there are more highways and malls than crows, the last thing you want is a bunch of gerua (ochre) robed rudraksha necklace sporting ektara strumming semi-stoned (or not) musical-spiritual freaks doing the rebel dance on your backside.
Chaah! No, yaar, I don't want any of this.
