Nasally Yours

In an industry where genuine talent finds it hard to stay afloat, a nasally endowed and artistically challenged singer is driving many out of business. Contemporaries, unceremoniously nudged out of the limelight, are busy licking their wounds. Critics and fortune-tellers, who predicted a humbling downfall, are scratching their heads in wonderment. Talent brokers and music patrons have “gone to the mattresses”. All this while the “aam junta” and ear specialists are going delirious with delight, for reasons best known to them.

So what explains the phenomenon that is Himesh Reshammiya? I reckon it is the immense self-belief and brazen self-confidence. I also reckon that this confidence and self-assuredness is here to stay.

So bring out the cotton swabs guys, before my ears succumb to some mysterious musical infection!
