@ Padma,
I have read all your posts and agree with some of the points you have raised. Ofcourse Sher Ali is an excellent singer and gave us back to back melodious performances. Unfortunately he has some limitation which he doesn't control. Our guest singers from across the border can only go upto a certain level. It wouldn't be fair for Indian contestants if these guests win the title even if they deserve it as it will be against the ethics and loyalty.I totally agree Jaspal.We all appreciate and enjoy singing of Nusret Fateh Ali sahib, Gulam Ali, Mehdi Hassan, Aalam Lauhaar, Shaukat Ali, Amanet Ali, Mussarret and Sher khan. These are all God gifted singers, hats off to them. May God bless them.As a matter of fact we have real blood relations to these people who live across the border. Lahor is only 20 miles away from Amritsar. Our last names are similar e.g. Chaudhry, Chauhan, Cheema, Grewal, Gill, Bajwa, Chawla, Barar and so on. I have a couple of friends here and we get along really well.My son, a student works part time at Business Depot for their technical support. He had a customer last week name Mummed Singh Bajwa. He asked me, "Dad how that kind of name is possible." It took me at least 30 minutes to explain the history behind it.Having said that, here is a beautiful song, sung by Amanet Ali, lyricist Gulzar sahib and you will see his daughter Boski sitting with judges as a guest.Thank you so much. It is beautifulPadmaji, you are from a city where I started my career.😊 I worked with Campa Cola at their R. & D. center in Connaught Place, later joined Indian Oil R. & D. Faridabad.Lovely. I love Delhi and have been here for ages now. I teach French.Where do you live right now?Please keep writing, I enjoy your comments.I certainly will. No Ankits and the likes with their superficial analyses and half-witted responses will stop me.Take care.Padma
