you people are unbelievable. you claim to be such huge fanatics of r.d.burman, but at the same time you go out of your way to highlight the person most responsible and instrumental for his depression and eventual downfall. i am talking about the universally beloved BHANU GUPTA. what do you know about this man other than what he tells you about himself? most people prefer to put the entire blame on swapan chakrabarty, but how many of us know that this man is equally responsible, if not more. he is a cool customer whose right hand does not know what his left had does. my friendly advice to you is, be very very careful of him. he is using you people for his own publicity and popularity. whether you believe in what i said or not, is up to you, of course. i just did what i thought i should have done long time back.
