  other_side: Kanchana was one among a handful of people that made newtfmpage(or the huge URL it was under those days) a worthwhile place to visit. And I'm another one of those nostalgic tfmdfers who long for those days. Seriously man, its sad what newtfmpage has come to these days. Very very sad! :(

  COUNTERPOINT conceptually originated in the western classical music.
  THERE is nothing big about counterpoint apart from the technical jargon associated with it. Precisely, if you were to make good music especially film based songs where you typically use several instruments to play different melodies or complimentary melodies you basically use counterpoint in one form or another. Does counterpoint add to the beauty of the music? YES! Will an average listener pay atention to it....not necessarily. So the bottom line it is highly an intellectual ornamentation of music.
  For more on counterpoint chek out
