pakistani music rocks bollywood

ok what the hell! i'll post the second blog if nobody will. been wondering for quite sometime about how paki music is now a rage in this country. not that i disapprove. i love paki music.
its got that hip and happening flavour that is,lets face it, often absent in our own filmi music.

and music is probably playing a key role in bridging the gap between two countries constantly at loggerheads. we need paki music nad they need our audiences. marriage of convenience? i think not. our appreciation of paki music and their desire to entertain india probably arises out of years of isolation from each other.

and everyone invariably loves these new kids on the block: jal, junoon, strings, rahat fateh ali khan, fuzon........ and then there are the old favourites: ghulam ali, abida...the list goes on and every day india discovers some new talent from across the borders.

the truth is the two countries and their people are not very different after all. so what if our politicians seek to divide us on some petty issues? the overwhelming majority of people on both sides want healthy interaction. (indian guys sure wouldn't mind paki babes coming over to study in our colleges.)

welcome aboard!

hi this is abhishek sahoo.

welcome to my blog!

i see this as a really great way of communicating.i would prefer blogging to e-mail because people have just stopped sending personalized e-mails. now its only forwards (most of it chain junk that people fall for) that keep circling the globe aided by people who dont find the time to write their friends an email.

so what would i like you to post on this blog??
well just about anything!
from rantings on soviet communism to your views on premarital sex. if it's on your mind, just make sure it's on the blog. only...no bullshit please.
