hi group first to begin with THANKS TO GOD AND OUR DEMI GOD - RAHMAN SIR... then to our parents, well wishers, Oohlalala team and my friend Sriram... yeah vijay... i m almost in the same state... yet to recover from the shock of my life... jus now saw the show too... frankly speaking... ARR has done a gr8 job... 6 winners... unbelivable... i think he has kept his words... he said at the start... wherever the talent is it ll be recognized...and he has done it... it shows his greatness... calling a quarter finalist and announcing them as a winner... i think its brilliant... hats off to you sir... its also gr8 on the part of Oohlalala team and SA RE GA MA to abide his decision... but my personal feelings are different... i m not trying to delude myself or my band... but in terms of Ooh lalala... i know the amount of effort my whole band has put in... infact belive it or not we contiously kept working for some 53 hours (which includes a scratch recording then practice session then final outline draft recording) without sleep... its just for the quarter finals... so i can really imagine the amount of effort the finalist and the semi finalist would have given... atleast 2 or 3 times more than what we did... so hats off to you guys... you must ve put in lots and lots of efforts... efforts doesnt go unrecognized and ARR has proved it... i myself not sure what was criteria behind our selection (may be the word sangarpondy did some magic i think... lol..) seriously speaking i ve no rights to examine the criteria when the result is given by my demi god... ARR... Only thing i would say is... he recognizes talent... no matter where it is... if it had not been RAHMAN sir we wouldnt have been in the place, where we are now... our inspiration.... our role model... our demi god... what else... MANASIHA GURU... everything... i can keep on adding... Truly its today i m recognizing or rather feeling the meaning of the word ineffable... Hats off to your sir... when i entered the GRT hotel yesterday... i thought i m just going to congratulate the winners and go... but never ever, not even in my wildest dream i thought we would be a winner... though i really wanted to be... of course anyone would... when he said... madras tunes a winner... i dunno exactly how to explain the way i felt... its more than excitement... its more than happiness... thats ineffable... The results might be bit disappointing to the finalists... but then guys i would just like to say something... you all rocked... rocked more than us... HATS OFF TO YOU ONCE AGAIN... !!!
Congratualtion to my Co-winners V3, OXYGEN, ZINX, AGAM, SRISHTI... -- Long Live ARR, Long Live his music... Cheers, Karthikeyamurthy.J http://madrastunes.blogspot.com/
