Hai, Shewtha just went thru your mail about swaralaya award for ARR. Dont Stamp all mallus dindt give enough appreciation to ARR. We all (especially all born from fag end of 70s) adore, admaire and appreciate ARRs creativity and work( quite visible by crowd pull in kannur when he was there for world space ad shoot with out prior notice). Infact there is some circle in kerala whose duty is to condem and degrade every thing innovative and new. But now though its too late, its quite breath taking to here that a well established cultural wing from same group or circle coveted ARR. Though ARR had done little work in Malayalam, Yodha film and asianet theme both are marvelous. Above all representing all mallu ARR fans I here by say though we are late in announcing any official award to arr, YOU are there in our heart right from Roja , like a mind smoothing rhythm. Long live ARR. --- Shwetha Signs <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:
