I have been listening to his songs for over two years now and they are quite a regular feature on my playlists.... I have always believed that the best test for 'good music' (as for numerous other things) is the 'test of time'. If you feel like listening/ revisiting a song after every now and then, over a period of few years - and still it sounds interesting and thought provoking - that would be its greatest testimony.
For Rabbi-lovers like me (Yes, I am turning into an ardent fan of his music), he is sure to be counted amongst the greats on the Indian music scene - and mind you, the instrumentals of his songs are rather 'popular' (in the sense that its not like listening to 'ghazals' which would appeal to only a particular kind of taste), but still they are nice, classy, rythmic and very tastefully done - but I think the key difference lies in the lyrics of his songs and themes he explores. Unfortunately, most of them are in punjabi so people who can't understand punjabi at all might just miss the soul of his music...
And I recently realised that his is definitely not a small fan club - in fact his music is acquiring a cult status all over (see this http://rabbism.blogspot.com/ )
And just as his thousand of other fans, I too am eagerly looking forward to his next album. Fingers crossed!

Does anybody else feels like this….?
Aah.. the music plays in my mind… my feet can feel the song and the rhythm…. they are in invisible action…
".... Aasmaan ko bhi yeh haseen raaz hai pasand… uljhi.. Uljhi saanson ki aawaz hai pasand… Moti luta rahi hai saawan ki badaliyaaan…"
I so badly want to dance… (its 9 in the morning and I reached office at 7 today!)
My feet are drawing circles on the carpeted floor while I am stuck in the office chair
… and my gaze is towards the ceiling as though I am staring into the open skies…
… I can feel the delicate tension in my body when I try to get up from my chair, like I am about to take flight..
… and I am walking in the corridor as if I am entering onto a stage
... and, worst of all, I touch the water dispenser as if I am touching my partner…
Is it the song or is it one of my periodic dancing urge or is it 'you'? I think it’s the second sparked by the first and compounded by the third….
PS: Old readers, remember my post about a dancing room in office? (http://imemyself123.blogspot.com/2007/08/for-whatever-reasons-i-have-not-been.html)
Funnily enough, this kind of urge is like a nature's call for me. I shall be restless till I dance…
