Gops, Thank you so much for your comeback. What a fantastic experience is this...!!!
I got 'goose-bumps' while I'm reading this. I too play 'taxi taxi' song in my car very loud and when I stop in the signals, people around my car hears and smiles; I think they too love this different sound from ARR. But obviously my neighbours are enjoying ARR's music :-) Cheers, Siraj On 8/22/08, Gopal Srinivasan <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Mindset > > Song: Taxi...Taxi... > Film: Sakarakatti > Music: Mozart of Madras > > First I read about this song in 'The Hindu - Metroplus' then listened to it > in a car on my way back to Chennai from Kancheepuram.
