People see the moon only when it goes up the sky

Listened to a recorded interview with Shamsad Begum on Radio a few days ago. It was so cool, absolutely genuine, no pretensions whatsoever, an interview that smacked of a spade-ought-to-be-called-a-spade attitude. I actually tuned in only when the interview was close to being done but got to listen to one of the great singer’s principles – “People see the moon only when it goes up the sky.”  True, eh? It’s also because it is so unreachable that people aspire to ‘grasp’ it?
