I joined the email campaign by Somi Roy. My email text is:
__________________________________________
Hello Zakir,
We grew watching you on TV. What impressed me most was that you looked refreshing, modern amidst those traditional musical instruments and the accompanying traditionalist-looking men and women.
Refreshing, modern and a star.
But, lately, you are hurting the feelings of lot of people. That’s very unlike of you.
Everybody is asking for a public apology. I think that gives you an excellent opportunity to introspect. Introspect like this:
“Is this really me, Zakir Hussain? Zakir Hussain, the icon, having such a filthy mouth??”
C’mon, Zakir, filthy mouths suck.
__________________________________________________
I sent that to Somi Roy.
But something is bothering me a lot now. I first heard about the email campaign from Bem cross posting here. That’s about 10 days ago. But that did not move me to do anything. Last night, I heard about it again in E-pao and that prompted me to write to Zakir Hussain.
How is that so? Something you find in a personal blog is less important than those found in a portal? A portal is more imposing but not certainly more trustworthy. So?
I feel really bad about this.
But I had to go back to Bem’s post to get the email id of Somi Roy—E-pao do not have that id!
Thanks Bem.
