as you started all speculating then you should come clean about your stand. So, instead of going round about, come to the point and answer the question you asked.
Whom you are referring as folks, take the name so that all can clearly know that. no genralisation please. so that we can take the cases separately ...
o yaar! there is a simple question asked.. just give your opinion and try to understand others opinion as well.. don't start an argument.. the forum has already suffered enough!
Shankar ji and Shaan are both respectable personalities, both of their POVs should be respected by all folks.
thanks.
