His way of talking may not have been correct.. but what he has said even at that time was right! Anyways, we have discussed this million times over... and I think its just not right to have this bias and see everything in that light!

Jaya: You got me wrong here. We are not talking about right or wrong. We are talking about sensitivity here.

i dont think it was a damage control gesture - the kind of person abhijeet is, i dont think he really cares of his image 😕 doesnt look as if he wud go all the way doing this for an image reform...

Everyone cares about their image. That's human nature.

Yes everyone does to an extent, but that varies... He seems to be one who is less bothered about it! His very bindaas nature does suggest that!

But along with sensitive, we are also saying that he is emotional... And also I think its the way of looking at things.. he may have been sensitive towards that fact that someone was getting advantage over the other for non-musical reasons.. Thats also a paradigm of looking at it!

You are right.. otherwise we do not need to see ourselves in mirror...

Yes - but we look at different things even when looking at the mirror.. That outlook differs from person to person!

Very well said Jaadoo bhai.

Jaya, I agree with you. This gesture is indeed commendable. Abhijeet is basically very good and upright at heart. He talks from his heart - and that's the problem.

These days people seldom have that uprightness to call a spade a spade. In order to be politically correct, one forgets to nurture his own identity. Abhijeet has one, and that is what creates problem for some.

Since the question of Diwakar came out a few posts back, I would just like to say that if Abhijeet's fault was that he did not allow himself to be swayed over by emotions (for a blind guy) while judging a "Singing' competition, I just wish that we have 100s of such Abhijeet's in the judges seat. Our music will become much better.

As it is not someone's fault that someone is born blind, it is equally not one's fault to be born normal. If being normal automatically disqualifies you to be a better singer (which was actually the case shown by the king of music-copier), than one has to admit that Abhijeet was wrong when he said that when he listens to a singer, he closes his eyes (so that he judges only singing, and not whether one is abnormal or normal) and listens. He should not have done that - because that was not correct!

Also, there is a difference between someone donating from U.S. and Abhijeet doing the same in India. Media follow his actions in India. Some way or the other it will come out. And if he is guilty of proudly announcing his donation, I again wish there are more and more people like him, who would proclaim but nevertheless would do something meaningful. That way atleast the money will be accountable to some extent!

Totally agree to the highlighted portion of the text... And this was just a falicitation program for this guy (topper) where Abhijeet was not even present to gain the media attention.. That he has taken this responsibility was a normal news that was added to that coverage...

And u are also right - many around the world including US and in India are involved in charity work.. its usually the one from the celebrities that get reported more... and its the case with everyone - not just Abhijeet...

And I am not even saying that what Abhijeet does is always correct.. He is definitely upright and I like that, but I also agree that he needs to be more mellowed down in his delivery.

The problem is that we seem to have a habit of picking up on someone regardless of what they do and criticize them.. This negetivity is ultimately detrimental to one's own self!
