I don't understand all these "counter point" things. after all..."I'm just a man"

maybe someone can elaborate??
Its two musical notes combining together. Usually when the add a new musical note to the existing musical note, the new part is called as counterpoint.
It is usually done using instruments, for e.g. using one set of instruments for certain notes and suddenly involving another set of instruments for another note along with the existing one, just to elevate the heights of music. You can find this in any music. Also, the norm is to have 2 to 3 counterpoint.
In TIS IR have used upto 8 counterpoints at one time to give the utmost happiness. In addition, he also used upto 7 raagas (usage of upto 3 or more raaga is called raaga-maalika) in one song in TIS.
Dont think I am a musical genius (he he!) or something. I am just learing music by following IR music and reading thru books online. There was a page which had all IR songs seperated by raagas, so that if someone wnat to know how to identify raaga, they can simply listen to IR songs over and over again and eventually find the similarities. Thats how I started learning carnatic music, but now i am switching between carnatic to hindustani to ghazal (I love Jagjit singh, I wish IR does one album with him. it will be an ultimate dream come true for me) to jaaz to everything.
ARSH - dont say "This is simply outstanding and moving!" again!!!
