Those who couldn't do something always give vent to their own frustration by undermining those who did something.
1. Did jagjit say which are ARR songs that he likes and which should have deserved oscar/ grammy? 2. Did Jagjit say the above about any other MD/ lyricist/ singer? No, this guy is not able to see anyone but himself. He himself is great and rest don't exist - in his eyes. See the way he has mentioned Gulzar saab. He is in effect saying that gulzar is writing good poetry for his albums because of his guidance/ editing/ feedback. That is so ridiculous about a great writer like Gulzar. That is the way Jagjit is. He can't see nor say any good thing about anyone in the entire world. He looks only at weak points of others and creates some in his imagination where he doesn't find any. Anyway. Let's see whether his this album Inteha wins a grammy.
