Sa Re Ga Ma Pa ...

This was an episode of the very popular Sa Re Ga Ma Pa ... Today, they are down to the last 5. Why am I blogging about this? Well, thats simple ... Two of my favourite singers on the show were among the doubtfuls ... Raja Hassan (a la Bikaner), and Mussarat Abbas (the Lahoria).

More than this ... the man who got eliminated ... He sang Nusrat Fateh Ali Khan, almost as enchanting as the legend hmself ... At times, improvising upon the original to render an effect which was sheer brilliance ...

Rafta rafta, jo tha begana tera hua,
Rafta rafta, mera afsana tera hua ...

Though, I am sure Mussarat will be remembered long after the show is over. Or was it just Lahore?

at the point of being communal i must say that its better that musarat has gone back to his home... will any indian get this much of platform in lahore to get votes and sing?... i think he was dreaming a little too much if he thought he had any chance

we have enough talent in our country and neednt waste time over the people across the border

they are kaafirs
