Yes, I agree with Bergin. We're classmates for 6 years :) Everybody used to say he is addicted to ARR's music.
We had no tape recorder / TV when Roja was released. As I was in small village, we had no such provision of getting Casettes those days.... My first experience was when I was in Bazaar (market), I happened to listen to "Chinna Chinna Aasai..." song.... I was very young. I don't know what is music.. I never liked any music before this. I never spent any single minute on any music / song before this song. It made me to stand there till the song gets over. Then comes the other song... My god... I was wondering, what a nice song.....!!!! And it was an amazing song... So whenever I return from my school, I goto that shop; listen to Roja songs and come back. I've no words to describe that personal feeling... That can't be expressed... This is how I got exposure to ARR's songs... And now I'm one of the fans who grabs their first copy in their local stores.....
