Taimur bro, With time, not just ARR's music or anybody's work changes, we also change. We grow, more things occupy our minds, we change importance of various things in our life.
in 80s, I was so fed up with Bolly music that I didn't hear then current music (of 80s) and used to hear only old songs of 60s. Then, Anand Milind, Nadeem Shravan, jatin lalit, ARR brought me back to current music in 80s-90s. Now I like several songs of 80s also that I hated then. I am in terms with my personal tastes so I don't feel bad when I don't like any occasional ARR album or song, or I don't feel odd in liking any non-ARR song. you are an ARR fan for 20 years, I can feel for you how much you are torturing yourself when you don't like current songs of ARR. you have all the absolute rights to your likings. I don't like members telling wrong things about you. Nobody can force anybody to like or dislike a song or album. So, do keep posting your frank opinions whether you like an album/ song or whether you dislike it. We being a fan group doesn't mean for me that we are bound to like everything nor are we bound to praise everything. But we are indeed bound to keep sharing and keep expressing our honest opinions. I appreciate your courage that you kept on posting when so many people write unjustified things in response to your posts. Don't let that make you stop posting ever. You are here for ARR's love, we co-members are just incidental. -- Rawat On 8/15/2010 11:31 PM India Time, _Taimur Nadeem_ wrote: > hey Rawat, > My point has always been that all the 90s and early > 2000s whatever A R RAHMAN has done is been ultra brilliant , midas > touch is what he used to possess , films got hit on just his music. > whatever genre ,whatever instrument , whatever raga he used , > shined like a gold , the tunes were all heavenly , the essence of > songs goodness me . > > you pointed out urvashi urvashi , just see analyze that song , i > mean just look at the magic, could anyone thought that sarangi can > be used for a youthful song , the claps the jathis tabla , i mean > the whole song is master class , take ennavale O my GOD a divine > song , every second is sweeter than honey .does any song has such > sweetness or brilliance now , the answer is simply no . > > s > > > > --- On *Sun, 8/15/10, V S Rawat /<[email protected]>/* wrote: > > > From: V S Rawat <[email protected]> Subject: [arr] Members should > understand that they can't like all genres given by ARR To: "arrf" > <[email protected]> Date: Sunday, August 15, 2010, 4:24 > PM > > During 18 years of my following of ARR's works, I had started > liking ARR not with Roja, but with Urvasi of Humse Hai Muqabla, > even Gopala. > > But I got quite disappointed with Hindustani's Latka Jhatka, > Duniya Dilwalo Ki's Hello Doctor, Dil Hi Dil Me's Maria, etc. > Rangeela songs appeared so barren on first hearing, even chhaiya > chhaiya first seen on TV ad was appearing so comedily funny like a > bunch of monkeys jumping senselessly. > > They came in a short duration, so I generalized that ARR has > changed and I had lost faith on him. > > But, then I again started liking his other albums, and even liked > some of the songs in the above albums also.
