It was a fine January morning. A ragged violinist was playing violin in a corner of Washington DC railway station. He was playing classic melancholy. Some two thousand of them passed through the station in one hour. On the third minute, an elderly man stopped by, for a while listened, tossed a dollar and moved off. Few minutes later five year old stopped looking, his hurrying mother pulled him away. In about an hour violinist's collection from forty people was paltry 30 dollars in all.
This was a social experiment designed by Washington post. The violinist was Joshua bell, one of the iconic musicians in the world. He was playing few celebrated compositions of God of western classic, Chopin. Two days before, Joshua was sold out at a theatre in Boston averaging 100 dollar a ticket.
In an anonymous context people even ignore Sharuk Khan, ridicule Ustad Zakir, pass Amitabh Bachan for ordinary.
We may safely conclude. Some really really good may ago unrecognized.
