I see your point, Vinod and I understand your feelings of frustration, but as Gopal says, "release" and "launch" are 2 different things and rarely coincide together. Yes, the time gap between the 2 is quite long this time around, making it harder to wait for such a landmark album, but there are some things that just won't change, I guess! In the end, the album does get released, we relish it, and move on. Come Tuesday, all your frustrations, anxiety, etc. will melt away as the magic of AR's notes drown you. This album, I think, will be worth all the wait and frustration.
