Our local goon –the ransom mangling softie, Raavan has now added Pandit Jasraj to his repertoire (Panditji is so easy to like), in addition to Ustad Rashid Khan and Pandit Rajan and Sajan Mishra.
This obviously has to continue to at least include Pt. Kumar Gandharva and Pt. Bhimsen Joshi (one easy to like,the latter is complex to appreciate).
And then we move to instrumentals.
I have told the softie, that his goon status does not earn him special favors in my scheme– if he is committed and upto it (the choice is ultimately his!!) then he should acquire working knowledge of this kind of music before he is 30 
, for which he has only a few months left….keep reminding him…. “in situations like this, treat time as an enemy!!”
Post that, he can spend the rest of his life, (farting loudly and) listening and appreciating to MIA – an export from his home base…the kind of music I don’t understand too much….but hope one day, he can help me, just like I am helping him today.
