AAKHIR LATAJI KO YAAD KARNE KE LIYE WOH BADDE BADDE LOG BHOOL HI GAYE .... BY ALI PETER JOHN

There are some rules in the world which are certainly made to broken thats the way of the world and it has not changed for centuries and I don't think it can change in the centuries to come - Ali Peter John

I can give you hundreds of examples from history , but let me tell you and satisfy myself by giving you one recent example which can or must shake you up if you are human .

Honouring the great legend who have died during the year that has passed is a part of the Oscars every year and the legend are supposed to be from all countries of the world and this section is called " The Memorium " section in which all the names of those who have died are mentioned as a tribute .

This year too all the names of the great dead were mentioned , but for some strange reason the name of Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar was not taken at all .

And a few weeks later , the Grammy Awards were also presented and once again the name of Bharat Ratna Lata Mangeshkar was dropped from this prestigious section of the awards.

It must be mentioned that A R Rehman a Grammy Award winner and his son musician A R Ameen were present at the awards ceremony , but neither the father and son nor any one in the audience or the media said anything about the dropping of the name of Lata Mangeshkar .

Certainly , it cannot be a mistake in both places . When there can be issues raised about every little thing today , isn't humiliating the greatest singer of all time an issue ?

Some days later , Prime Minister Narendra Modi congratulated two singers of Indian origin , Falguni Shah and Ricky Kej for their contribution to music and for winning the Grammy.

But , the PM who called himself a dear friend of Lata Mangeshkar did not have a word to say about her name being overlooked at the Oscars and the Grammys.

I knew that such things would happen , but I didn't know they would happen so soon and in such a shocking way.

JAI LATA KI . JAI MATA DI .
