why re-invent the wheel... Music Analogy

have been a curious kid...
used to spend hours finding new mathematical formulae ending up knowing it will be taught in higher class...

have been hearing a preaching since childhood, don't try to re-invent the wheel... but as any other kid never listened
and still don't.....

it's like Religion asking people not to find out how man came into existence as the Book already told...
and it's also like don't improve over it as there is a way to do it by someone very respected.....

now why I suddenly decided to blabber on such a topic where everyone already have there opinion and so.....
again, just trying to re-invent the wheel (else it would remain the multi-gonal irregular shaped)

so, here is a new analogy for people believing in it or not...

Music.....
no no, I wouldn't discuss about different Genres evolving through centuries... that will be very deep and philosophical..... and also not particularly my area of expertise

would just give some example of same (urdu) poetry sung (not re-mixed) by different legendary (Indian/Pak) singers... and not describe anything as for people capable of forming there own opinion, this much is enough... for others, I don't care

Poetry (Ghazal by Mirza Ghalib) : Har Ek Baat Pe Kehte Ho Tum Ke 'Tu Kya Hai?'
#ing is 7,6,5,4,3,2,1 to give a contemporary, old and back flow
