Well, what I meant was what AR had been saying in interviews. Music is an ocean. It's massive. We are all united by the love for AR's 'MUSIC'. So for me, and I guess many here - Music undoubtedly ranks 1.
If there was no music, I am afraid there would be no 'AR' - the man we all love. I love discussing AR's music and his persona. But I don't go overboard about AR to those who seem dis-interested. Then may be they'd poke fun at me. If people do poke fun at you for being an AR fan, its just a friendly banter. Nothing more. or it's just you. C'mon everybody loves Raymond and Rahman. :) --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Arijit Debnath <arijit...@...> wrote: > > Some feature is sensible to someone... to someone that is non-sense..... > like ur words seems 'non-sense' to me....
