Re: Re: [arr] Re: After hearing a bit of the first Yuvraaj song.....

[NILIMA HARIN BUCH]

  
Hi Rahmaniacs...
We all call ARR our 'meastro','guru','boss'...
So...it is a fact, that, the guru knows much more than the shishya...right!!!
Even for our reviews ,I think, its too early.
Love ARR with all that he has and not only the "good" things he offers. Good or 
bad, we are little less capable of judging his creativity.

  Guys, 
I desperately need to know these things
* How many seats are still left for Foundation [vocal]?
* Who all of us has already secured his position in KMMC?

I'm poised to get my seat there, since, Jyoti M'am has talked with me.

Fani , they took ur auditions?
Is there any change in rules for out-station student wanting seat in KMMC?
They heard me on phone. I'm in Delhi and I have a family. So, I need to decide 
a lot before settling down in Chennai. Well, the city is not new to me.

Re: [arr] How is KMC different from whistling woods?

[NILIMA HARIN BUCH]

 Hi Thulasi,
I know very less about Whistling woods, but as far as I know, its an acting and 
media school of International level.Here students can learn 
acting/animation,direction,editing etc. which are diffrent disciplines of Film 
production.

Whereas, KMMC is a conservatory established to develop and nurture talents 
especially in the field od music.ARR's main moto is to provide a sound base 
of training in music and music technology to those who have passion to learn 
,thoroughly, only music. Be it Hindustani,Carnatic and Western classical. In 
India there is very less scope of learning Western classical, except for the 
peivate tutors providing training and certificate from London school etc.
KMMC will provide a sound training to create awareness of Western music and 
music technology, while continuingto respect and strengthen the art pf Indian 
music. With KMMC, India will have a full fledged Symphony orchestra and Choir 
of its own.

It's my dream to get admission there.Guys pray for me that pass the 
audition test.

Thanx Pavan, 
This is my all time favourite toothough ARR sings all his songs whole 
heartedly, this song seems to have come straight from his heart and one can 
feel that everytime he sings anywhere...
Only Khwaja could be compared with this song!!!

Re: Re: [arr] Jaipur concert-Rahman rewrites history!

[NILIMA HARIN BUCH]

  U r one of the rarest and luckiest of fans
Surely, at the same time, ur mail prooves that ARR is gentle and kind enough 
and so easily excessible .BUT MIND U, HE IS FOR THOSE WHO HAVE PURE HEART 
AND PURE LOVE FOR MUSIC...[like all those who could meet him at Jaipur]
MY THROAT CHOKED AS I READ UR DESCRIPTION OF UR MEETING WITH HIM .
I too had planned for attending Jaipur concert...but family duties came first 
and my wishes took a back seat.
The way this concert is described, it surely must've been a larger success than 
the one at Delhi.
Pray for me that I attend the next one at ChennaiI'm in delhi and its very 
difficuld but one can always try and nothing better than listening to ARR 
live

Re: [arr] ARR - T Shirt - Chennai concert Apr 20th

[NILIMA HARIN BUCH]

  
Good Design!!!
I would love to buy this tee. 
May I suggest u to have another tee with "Heart of Music" replaceing "ace of 
music" and the changes in the cards accordingly

Suggestion no.2:
A blue/black tee with "Rahmaniacs" at the back and a design of piano keys in 
the front.

Re: [arr] Jodha Akbar Music - Philosophical Ramblings

[NILIMA HARIN BUCH]

  U DESCRIBED THE ALBUM AND THEN THE SONG SO WELL.U REALLY KNOW WHEN TO USE 
WHICH WORDS...
I CAN ONLY EXPRESS BY SINGING AND DANCING 
I COULD SEE ALL MY EMOTIONS WELL DESCRIBED BY U 
I FEEL THE SAME FOR THIS ALBUM AND THE NUMBER.
"KHWAJA" LEAVES ME DANCING IN CIRCLES JUST AS IN THE MOVIE 
[MESMERRISEDENCHANTED IN DEVOTION]
MANMOHANA LEAVES ME PINING FOR THE ALMIGHTY AND MAKES MY SOUL SURRENDER FULLY.
THANX A LOT FOR THIS MAIL

Re: Re: [arr] Highlights of Delhi Concert

Yep!
I too shouted loud 'that's me' when the book was released on stage.
I agree with u in having no ill feelings...
One must learn to be unbiased/critical.
Thanx anyway.

Re: Re: [arr] Highlights of Delhi Concert

[NILIMA HARIN BUCH]

  
I was aghast to read someone mentioning Delhi as a Himesh
territory.
But after reading ur mail I'm able to now believe the 'title' and at the same 
time feel sorry for Delhites.
I was at the concert but in the second section and not in front of the stage.
We all ,in that area, had a Blast.
The camera guys should have been with us and would've realised how much people 
love  ARR 
For me, ARR cannot be compared with any composer in the whole world.
Not only because he's got his own style, he is actually the best in the world.
At least ,Himesh does not deserve to be compared to our Lord of Music..

Re: Re: [arr] Delhi concert song list

[NILIMA HARIN BUCH]

 Hi,
I was at the concert and we had a Blast
The songs that were skiped include two songs, we were really looking forward to 
listening.
1) Yeh jo des hai tera
2) chale chalo
We waited for songs from Taal and Lagaan..
The audience was roaring, but, at the back.
The front guys were too sofisticated to dance and rock with the flow
U should've come to the second section of the audience (the 1500 walas) we were 
shouting at the top of our voices, calling all those who came on the stage and 
also we were singing all the songs.

Re: Re: [arr] Re: Non-ARR. Please check this out - own composition

[NILIMA HARIN BUCH]

  Hey!
I WAS THERE!!
I was one of those lucky semi-finalists who won the tkts to the concert then...
It was out of the world experience!
I was in tears and I cried whole-heartedly when I first saw ARR LIVE in front 
of me.
The most humbling part of the whole night was when he said that he was nervous 
performing for the audience.
I was mesmerised, just like all the others there and we shouted all the time at 
the top of our voice.
We also danced till we fell.
Hariharan and Shivamani were amazing on stage and Neeti did a very good job.
The winner of the 'voice hunt' contest , Parul, sang my favourite song - 
'saiyan' form Zubeida.
Will write u more later when I'll come back from the trance of the concert..
