Last night, I was watching the ‘Prime Sangeet Eid Special’ on PTV Prime, a music special, featuring some classic music clips.

One of the performers shown was a video tape of Ghulam Ali, performing ‘Chupke Chupke Raat Din’ live in the 1970s.

Honestly is was the most magical thing ever. These people are in direct contact with whatever is in charge of the entire universe…such music…

Amazingly, you can hear some of this on YouTube:

Chupke Chupke Raat Din

Another Ghulam Ali piece…

And something very beautiful:

Waqt Ne Kiya Kya Haseen Sitam – Kaagaz Ke Phool (1959 )

In a perfect world, in a parallel dimension, some scientists made a giant antenna to transmit a message about the very essence of humanity to the stars. They chose a special recording to send as the message.

When it was decoded at the destination, long after the end of man…

This is what they saw and heard.
