Dear Harsh Rahmanic, Agreed that AR knows the best. But nothing wrong in discussing something that one doesn't like and saying abt it. Its just a personal taste. Thats all. ' I dont like an album' never can be classified as bashing. Even if someone bashes let us remember the one of the greatest lines said by our own AR 'All along my life I have had two options. One is love and other is hatred. I chose love. I am here' . Ok enough of boring bhashan:)
Let us listen to thok de Khilli and enjoy:) Regards, S.V.Nagaraj --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, harsha vardhan <harshaa_vard...@...> wrote: > > Mr.nagraj, u din't get my point...may be i was not clear...i just meant no > one here wants an ARR composition to be raved...everyone here knows what his > music is and thats just the very reason for all of us being here...letting > others know what u liked in a particular composition would b a better thing > to do on everyones part...and i meant no one is as talented as ARR to bash > the man himself, the person who is exploring new challenges and delivering > something beyond imagination all the time...so there is no way a true music > lover can ever bash Mr.ARR...if he is bashing ,then sorry he has lost his > ears.. > I have no hard feelings for you Mr.nagraj, you are my fellow rahmaniac... > > > > --- On Mon, 5/3/10, raj <arr_naga...@...> wrote: > > From: raj <arr_naga...@...> > Subject: Re: [arr] Blue vs Raavan: curing the oscar aberration > To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com > Date: Monday, May 3, 2010, 6:30 AM > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > > >  > > > > > > > > > > /* And Mr.Nagraj... no one asked you to rave an ARR composition. ..we > all know what his music is...if you din't like it, its just that you lack an > ear...simply because i don't think you are as big creator as ARR...its just > like- the man who stepped onto the moon knows better about the conditions > there than the ones reading the same news in the newspaper... > > give some respect to this 'upcoming' musician, he 'll learn from us...lol > > wake up brother(s).. . > > */ > > My point is this.
