Rajdeep / IBN / Lama Tashi

Rajdeep Sardesai was a journalist I admired due to the the arguments he raised in 'The Big Fight' and during his NDTV days. I wished him the very best when he came up with IBN and here is Rajdeep talking about NDTV, albeit briefly.

Grammy nominations are known to go to the diverse of people. Our Indian Classical musicians like Vishwa Mohan Bhatt, Pandit Ravishankar et all have been nominated and have won accolades in this arena. This year there's a Buddhish monk from Arunachal Pradesh, his name is Lama Tashi and he's been nominating for a collection of chants he got recorded. I saw this monk in TV and he was how modest a person could be, no wonder he's a Buddhist monk.
