For those fans, who are not aware of Rahmania Pune, here is some information..
There are some A. R. Rahman fans in Pune. They have their own music group called "The Wandering Souls " It's a team which comprises of some of Pune's best young musical talents along with some budding ones, who work together under the name " *The Wandering Souls"*. All the people have vast experience of performing shows. They are different than all of us in one aspect. We just listen, enjoy or criticize AR's music. But they have started a tiny movement of reaching out to as much as people with AR's music through a live show called *'Rahmania*'. They not only perform the songs, but also try to inculcate some rare anecdotes, stories behind the songs and ARR's philosophy of making music etc. This definitely makes a difference, as it helps people to understand AR's music much more that they usually do. Friends, you can imagine, it is definitely very difficult to organise a show on AR's music, because recreating his music, live, itself is a mammoth task and on top of it come other important tasks concerned with organising a live show. Though, they have given 4 performances in the past. Check the video of their previous performance here<http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6HTCo6qaC34>and also refer to following links for the review of the show done by the local media and music lovers in Pune. 1.
