There was nothing wrong in what he said, as he expressed his happiness, and this is the best forum for expressing one's own love, experience about what he / she feels about AR and his music. AR doesnt like this in particular. Everyone has the freedom to express his own opinion, and if you dont like anything, the best reaction would be to remain silent. Silence is ARR's greatest expression and we can also follow the same . I dont know what happened, that triggered you to write such a mail. This Yahoo groups is dedicated to AR and his music, and can be used as a medium for sharing love, happiness, peace which are the outcome of hearing AR music. I really didnt find any stupidity in Dinesh 's mail. In fact, just by seeing AR's poster in his car, the security guards allowed his car to pass through, and this is a sign of what people believe in AR and on people who genuinely love him and love his music. I think you are irritated by some happening in your life and I would suggest you to hear some songs and cool yourself. lets leave this topic here, and keep going... Lets not fight or blame at anyone.

Its good to be ARR's fan, but keep it at that level. Being a Rahman fan doesn't fill our belly!! Music is for us to have a good time at our leisure, so keep it at that level. I accept that A R Rahman is a genius when it comes to music and ask him, he would definitely attribute that to his hardwork, intelligently making moves, applying to right academies to appreciate his music - like Academy Awards, and associating with best in the industry so that all of them benifit by that. So, all that is his strategy, which we too should learn and apply in our respective fields. There is no reason for us to go on mentioning in every mail that I am a Die hard Rahmaniac. Just say I like his music. Instead of saying "You know what? Today I was very lucky, I saw HIM at the airport" "You know, the security guard said you are Rahman fan so you can go without security check" kind of things are very stupid. I am sure that even A R Rahman would not expect these things from us fans. If you ask him personally, he would say what stupidity his fans do. Thats what he told in a Sugar-Coated way during Felicitation of ARR by Chennai Music Directors Association that "Don't abuse anyone's music, every music director has his own way of doing things" Same way he would also say about "the stupidity happening here" Finally, I TOO AM A DIE HARD FAN OF A R RAHMAN. I RESPECT HIM FOR HIS TALENT. But guys, dont act stupidly!! Discuss about his compositions, discuss what you liked in it, let the other person also remind you of other composition that you might have forgotten, try to enjoy the nuances of his music, focus on lyrics, musical instruments used, the way he switches from one Raga to other, get more technical, teach other who don't know the basics of music like Ragas, discuss those things, share your renditions, let others give their feedback - These kind of healthy discussions shud be there. Not saying I saw him here, there, kind of things. Vithur and other co-ordinators please understand my point and explain it to other Rahmaniacs. One final thing, by just talking about the genius of A R Rahman, nothing good is going to happen to us. We will just keep seing how high Rahman goes each day. He has shaped his life very well. He is planning for what he wants and he is achieving that. But what about us? When will we be like that???? So just admire his talent, aspire to be someone like him, or if music is not your cup of tea, use that inspiration to become better in you field. Just use his acheivements as your motivation and ofcourse his music will be on you side to support you (morally). IF WE DO THIS, NO ONE WILL BE MORE HAPPIER THAN A R RAHMAN HIMSELF, because he will he happy for he inspired many for their own development and progress. And A R Rahman, if you are reading this mail - do something about this stupidity - just let them know not to be so stupid. Thanks, Ranjit Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!
