I understand giving suggestion is easier than practically executing it within a limited time. Added to it there is still time to think abt another view. Is it possible to suspend big cloth banners in those 9 venues of USA & Canada concerts happening in May-June. One big cloth banner per venue in entrance or near stage with words - [["Coming Soon - arrahmanworld.net - The Official Website of A.R.Rahman & arrahmanfoundation.com - For Arrahman Foundation"]]. Rapport Global can make this possible as time is available from now, if they act swiftly. If it is considered, has to be passed on immediately to Rapport to make it possible as this is yet another right time to spread these sites in a big way. Meanwhile a section can be made in AOW as "FACTS" with answers from rehmans friends & associates for all contrroversial views raised in press......... Like....>>>> why he records at night ? / why he stepped back from shahrukh's project (rights issue) / why some of his projects gone unnoticed / why media hesitates to give fair reviews to his hindi albums / why bollywood yet to open its doors fully / set me free - story / ekam satyam - story / non-film albums so far released & gone unnoticed / what is Arr foundation for / what made him to do conversion ? / his simplicity someitmes mistaken for arrogance ? / regrets for IT raids / plagiarism claimed by some pple in some arr songs or why not inspiration / If WOHE an FL studio for other Mds, then what abt royalties ? / why some famous persons speak ill of him like kumar sanu, abijeet to say arr has immense regard for them as great singers / explanations for-- arr is not doing a cut & paste techniq & though he is techno savvy he balances music well with it. (proving with his melodies gel well with technology) / rahman not endorsed HMV & just a participation as judge etc.. etc... etc....... finally hope Sony to return rahman.com free of charges. But every move is business. Really feeling strange to go after them to get back his own name domain. Anyway till ARR gets back that, he can very well do his darbar in this present website. So dont delay. Once he get back, this link shall be re-directed to that due course.

Infact just toshare with you the site is ready for some time now but (a) we are still waiting for a r r to be slightly free from his schedule and (b) we are using this lead time to explore the possibility of sony giving us the arr.com domain. We are also going for a unique launch program which will ensure adequate publicity. Vijay _____ Original message _____ Subject: Re: [arr] Clarification - Message from A R R Author: "Sarathy S" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Date: 16th May 2007 6:28:27 PM There is no need to find all those sites with wrong info. Btw why u pple delay in populating contents on ARRs Official Website (AOW) ?? If u postpone for design & info everything, it will get delay. For now quickly upload all important info & clarifications for wrong news etc. with a fair design. Later you can fine tune with competing design, features, options. No matter whatever other sites give wrong info, let AOW correct every wrong news & clarify them. For that A.O.W must get completed atleast 50% soon & spread about its presence worldwide by a special launch funtion with d help of press. this shall pave way for other websites to surf AOW & produce news for themselves accordingly. Another suggestion hereafter ARR's film & non-film albums must carry d URL of AOW in backside Inlay cards below near info like Recorded at ...... or on the top as Welcome to www.arrahmanworld.net - The Oficial Website of the A.R.Rahman. Hope this spreads fast & a better way to prevent further wrong info once the site is completed soon. Vijay Iyer <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Dear All, I'm posting this message on behalf of A R R. Would also appreciate if you can let Gopal or me know about sites which have wrong information on the fact that A R R has been appointed as the brand ambassador of HMV Sa Re Ga Ma. Thanks Vijay Clarification There has been considerable speculation that I have been appointed the brand ambassador for HMV Sa Re Ga Ma, as reported in the media. While I have agreed to be a part of HMV Sa Re Ga Ma's talent hunt programme, 'Ooh La La La' as one of the judges, my role & responsibility begins and ends with judging the contestants as part of the jury and providing tips to them which will help them hone their skills and help them in their endeavour to be the best. 'Ooh La La La' is a talent hunt for a musical band and the auditions for the show will be conducted across Tamil Nadu & Andhra Pradesh. What excites me about this talent hunt format is the challenge for the participants, which is to compose music and the emphasis on team work wherein individual effort and creativity will have to be fused to bring out the best in them.
