A voice that touches the soul...Shafqat Amanat Ali
Saturday, November 12, 2011 Posted by Bibaswan Banerjee
Born into the famed Patiala gharana, Shafqat Amanat Ali was immersed into classical music almost as quickly he could frame his first sentences.Little did he know that he would one day become the lead singer of one of Pakistan's leading fusion and Sufi-rock bands: "Fuzon". Shafqat's singing prominently betrays his lineage and his classical prowess shines through. Songs like "Mora Saiyyan" and "Aankhon ke Saagar" transcended borders effortlessly and charmed audiences across the subcontinent. Indian audiences were quick to accept and appreciate the phenomenal talent that is Shafqat Amanat Ali. Since then, there has been no looking back for the musician. Shafqat currently has an extremely successful career as a solo artist and playback singer in the Indian and Pakistani film industries. "Mitwa", "Yeh Honsla" and the current sensation "Dildaara" are but a few of his masterpieces. He has truly proved himself to be a singer who can do justice to any kind of song across different musical genres.

Tribute to Steve Jobs
Tuesday, October 11, 2011 Posted by Unknown
Though I had never owned an Apple product,
I am a member of its huge fan base. Its indeed a sad news to learn that the one
person who has revolutionized the way we thought of electronics, particularly
music players and mobile phones - Steve Jobs - is no more alive.
What made Steve special and unique was his
ability to marry art and science, and his vision about changing the way people
used technology. A person who has transformed the electronics industry, and was
loved by his competitors because he had introduced many new unchartered product
categories and created a huge market in those categories.
Though a technologist, Steve is not an
engineer and probably that was one of his strength. He had always thought of
the providing new, unique and rewarding experiences to customers and it was the
duty of the Apple engineers to meet his demands, and thus kept him focused
about his new products and adding newer and unique features to them.
Thank You Steve for your words 'Stay
Hungry Stay Foolish', they have had such a deep impact on me, they constantly keep me motivating to become a successful entrepreneur! R.I.P Steve !!
