Hi all,
The best place to do this is in arrahman.com. I am ready for any technical and
other support for this. We have to collect all the details of each project ARR
done in a special database before we start the work. We can take initial data
from arrahman.com site itself. We need a clear cut idea what we are going to
present in that page and what and all info we can collect on each topic and who
ever can share. I think we form a team for this for each section like data
collection, technical section like that. This will work out if the enthusiasm
exists like Gopal said.

Hi Gopal,
I think the best way to target is to have it officially hosted on arrahman.com,
with full blown filter criterias. If hosted on arrahman.com, the information
posted would obviously sound very authentic. Infact, in all the recent albums,
I do see a lot of credits posted and that probably could also be the sourcing
fileds with more additions like Genre, Raagas etc., Infact, if there could also
be a column with sales information(updated periodically from sources), it would
also help understand the humongous success of an album.
According to me, anything that AR does has to be ON TOP OF THE WORLD. With that
said, if these kind of valuable information gets hosted on arrahman.com, I'm
sure the whole world would be on it finding information, day in day out, which
would also make arrahman.com the most trafficked website, adding another
feather to our BOSS'es success.
Plus, I would also love to see this application to find its place in apple
store, so it would be one of the most downloaded app in iTunes.
Also, it has been my long standing wish. I would love to see HD videos of AR
working during some of his compositions in his studios, his memorable
experiences while working on some of the songs, movies, his achievement along
the way, his childhood life etc., If these get put together in a DVD or Blu-Ray
for the public to buy, I'm sure it will sell like HOT CAKES. All the collection
could be attributed to AR.Foundation. I always think it would be much more of a
value to both the fan base and the foundation. Again, the video could also be
sold on iTunes and the reach would be purely global. I'm sure that every fan of
AR(which is in billions) would love to see the videos of AR and the magic he
creates from all the studios he works around the GLOBE. I think such a
documented video of AR has never been out and I think its time to have one to
be professionally crafted and distributed.
JMHO.
Jai Ho !!!
