What: Senior Music director Hridaynath Mangeshkar received "Anil Mohile Memorial Life Time Achievement Award" yesterday. Here is a story in Lok Satta about the function.
Why its here: Two reasons. First, award in the name of Anil Mohile to Mangeshkar? Anil Mohile started his musical career later than Mangeshkar and I believe also assisted Mangeshkar in a couple of projects. It would be improper for Mohile Memorial Trust to offer the Award to Mangeshkar and it would be even more improper for Mangeshkar to accept it.
Secondly, Mangeshkar is known to put his foot in his mouth by indiscreet talk. In his acceptance speech, he said "I am getting award instituted in the name of the person, who should have got award instituted by my name". If he understood he was senior than Mohile, he should have politely declined the award. If not then he should kept his mouth shut and should not have embarrassed the organisers. And to top it off, self-proclaiming that there would be award by his name in future, is arrogance to the max.

This is not stupidity na. It's unpleasant, maybe, but this blog is made for sterner stuff.
