Music in Pakistan
Posted by WhistelingWoman Feb 27, 2003 10:32 am
Pundit Ravi Shankar would be nothing without GURU Ustad Alimuddin of Calcutta.Its true he must have had the talent born in him but without Ustad Alimuddins teaching no one would have heard of him in India or in USA .


Both Anushka & Nora are very open in there web site b/c uptill now .Just google there name & you ll see there home pictures etc.


It may be unusual for Ravi Shankars culture to have children out of ed lock ,but in states good or bad it is very common.In fact many people continue to live together have children without marrying Susan Sarandon & Tim Robbins for one .

I think Nora wil teach quiet a few lessons to Ravi Shankars parochial casteist & Ethnicentric Bengali /Indian/Asian/Deshi nomenclatures which are hailing her as 1/2 of her to be them.She does have non white anglo saxon features of Short stature ,Tanned complexion dark hair almost mistaken for Latin /Mexican ???


Could it be that Grammy which gave 3 to Ravi Shankar was knocking some sense to him as a `dead beat father. at least from 9 to 18 .A phenomenion also common in this culture .Imagine 82 yr old with two almost same age adolescent (22).

What about a movie on this story .I once remember a bolly wood movie TriShul with Amitabh bachan as Illigetimate child ofWaheeda Rehman & Sanjeev kumar ......
