You are right Pravinder. This blogger "thinks" that he likes Rahman songs. He may be, but further, he is NOT A RAHMANIAC. Once you are a Rahmaniac, you IGNORE cast / language / state / religion and all these factors which divide people.
It does not sadden me when someone critises Sadhana or Madhushree for bad pronounciation, it does not irritate me when a fans comment that "Ashutosh and ARR combo is great" is treated as a North versus South issue. Inspite of listening to Rahman if such issues are raised, then these guys probably are not true Rahmaniacs yet...... It pleases me that people like Pravinder, Gopal, Vijay, Amith, Sirish, Durba, Vithur, Chord, Wassim, etc come together on this platform and try to follow Rahman's philosophy of bringing all world together and make it a harmonious and happy place. You don't become a Rahmaniac by simply listening to Rahman's songs. Rahman is trying to tell all of us something very important and if you can catch that message from his songs, then you become a true RAHMANIAC........ You watch Rahman and you can 'read" his message... one that follows simplicity, humbleness, politenesss, peace, unity and love for your motherland and family ..... Be a true Rahmaniac !
