Someone who…
- Loves the sweetness of Mohd. Rafi’s voice
- Appreciates Kishore Kumar’s musical genius in Door gagan ki chaon mein and Door ka rahi, and Pankaj Udhas’ musical tribute to Omar Khayyam’s Rubayee
- Understands the poetry of Rubayee and Mirza Ghalib, and can explain to me the parts and language I don’t yet understand
- Could share Urdu and Hindi poetry with me, since I wish I knew more
- Would attend a Jagjit Singh concert with me, and make a special request for Meri tanhayeeon as his last song
- Observes people and situations as much as I do, especially in social settings
- Enjoys A.R. Rahman’s music and appreciates Gulzar’s lyrics (and movies)
- Understands the lyrics of “Lalkaar” from Rang de basanti
- Can introduce me to new authors and books
- Dis-enjoys gifts and celebrations for the purpose of tradition
- Realizes that everything I’m writing here is more about me and less about the people I want to meet; rapport is in attitude, not in details
