[arr] Presale Ticket Pricing vs. Regular Pricing

[TanyaAgha]

Hey all,

I've been anticipating the Oakland concert for days now. I must say I am a 
little disappointed with the presale prices. For the same seat I bought back in 
2007, the price has nearly tripled. Don't get me wrong, ARR is priceless and I 
love him dearly but I am not sure I will be able to come up with that kind of 
money. 

Is anyone aware of what the prices will be like once the presale is over and 
regular pricing starts? Will the prices be the same or more or less?Are tickets 
going to be sold in local Indian stores?

Also, is it possible that all the tickets can be sold out during the presale 
stage?

I would really appreciate it if someone could help me. If this is the case and 
the tickets can be sold out, I need to find a way fast.

Thanks,

Tanya

[arr] Re: Unveiling the soundtrack of Couples Retreat

[TanyaAgha]

Hey guys! I had a question. Anyone notice that the music that plays when the 
movie website is first launched is not on the soundtrack website. Maybe I am 
missing it. Is it not a part of the movie's soundtrack? I would appreciate the 
help. Thanks.

Re: [arr] Do some folks ever polk fun at you.......

[TanyaAgha]

My coworkers asked me today what I am doing on Thursday because they needed 
help in a task. I told them I was going out with a friend. They assumed I was 
going out on a date with a guy. Then one girl said, "The only guy for her is A 
R Rahman." AHHAHAHHAHAHA, Not entirely true but in a sense it's true. I go on 
dates with ARR's music all the time.

Just to clarify, ARR cannot win three awards. He has three nominations
in a total of two categories. He can only win a maximum of two. Thanks.

Re: [arr] ARR wins Golden Globe

[tanyaagha]

Rahman sir, it is an honor to be your fan. It is an honor to be in this 
community surrounded by love and devotion for good. I know you're 
a busy guy but if somehow you happen to read this, I cannot explain 
what you and your music mean to me. I am very proud of you 
winning the Golden Globe award. You don't deserve the Golden Globe 
but rather, the Golden Globe deserves you. Your work and personality 
speak the unspoken. Thank you so much. May Allah SWT bless you 
and all people and may you achieve so much prosperity in this world 
that people cannot even invent methods or words to praise you by 
(which in a sense already exists). :)

Happy ARR listening! and Jai Ho!

[tanyaagha]

Thank you so much from the most bottom and all of my heart. You 
have changed my life. It sounds so cliche but I do not know how to say 
it any other way.

Also, my heart goes out to everyone in Mumbai. I was watching CNN 
today and heard of the incidents on the news. You all are in my 
prayers.

Happy ARR listening!

[arr] Re: Have you seen any ARR film without having heard its music

[tanyaagha]

Wow, I am so glad you have brought this topic up. I am a more recent 
fan, I should say, of A R Rahman. It's not that I didn't enjoy his music 
before the year 2004, but I just did not know who the guy was. I mean, 
I can remember listening to most of his work like Bombay, Roja, Dil Se, 
Taal, Doli Saja Ke Rakhna, etc. I just never connected all these works 
to one name. It wasn't until 2004 that I realized all the pieces that I 
love are created by this man.

So, to answer your question, I saw the movie, Saathiya, in the winter of 
2002. I was completely blown away by the first song that appeared in 
the film, O Humdum Suniyo Re. Honestly, I do remember the visuals 
but they did not impact my listening to the song. My deal with this 
song was sort of like falling in love at first sight; in this case, first 
listen. I really cannot put into words what I felt. But I must say, I do 
not really remember the other songs much. Not that they were not 
good because Saathiya is one of the most cherished albums I have 
until date. 

I made it a point to go the next day out to the local Indian stores to 
purchase the soundtrack. Unfortunately or even fortunately, in terms 
of the popularity of the music, it was sold out. This was okay though, 
because I watched the movie in Dallas, Texas while visiting family 
members. When I returned to San Jose, California, one of the first 
events on my agenda was to buy the album and so I did.

If the music is good, I'll remember it regardless of whichever force  be it 
visuals or other external disturbances. And in my opinion, no visuals 
can turn a rather boring song into a masterpiece. Visuals do enhance 
music but not to the degree of extreme likability.

Happy A R Rahman listening!

[arr] Golden Age Newspaper Ad - Bay Area

[tanyaagha]

just thought id share with you guys the ad for the movie elizabeth the 
golden age. the rsolution for where Rahmans name is written isnt that 
great, but you could still make it out. i waited for days for this ad o 
come out as i live in california and not much news about rahman gets 
published here. oh but last year there was a huge article about rahman 
when he came to stanford in the local newspaper, maybe ill post that 
later.


hope you guys can see where rahmans name is at!

i didnt mean no one should expect anything. go ahead and expect but

[arr] Re: Fan's views on Azhagiya Tamil Magan : Post your opinions plz

[tanyaagha]

I'm an avid listener of Rahman's and I never put any expectation into 
his music. If I expect something, then where is the fun in that? Let 
him surprise us! He is the professional, although the idea of 
suggestions was a noble one, in my opinion, I'd rather leave it to 
him. Rahman was the one to break all expectations. If we want another 
Athiradee, just by asking for it, will we know what it is going to 
sound like? Athiradee is surely stylish but for me so Chaiyya Chaiyya 
and listening to Athiradee alone i could never expect a chaiyya to 
come next. And for all we know, he could have quite possibly broken 
our expectations! which is very likely by the way. 

One last thought, i believe the song picturizations have already 
started, no?

[arr] Re: Rahman's concert experience blog - A different perspective?

[tanyaagha]

yea but the author wasnt the one who was talking baout the 
discrimination. he overheard it. you said youre upset with what 
refers to as rahmans discrimination, but it  wasnt his, it was the 
groups, 
 i think the author contradicts himself in the fourth to last 
sentence but i believe his wording is a bit confusing. i dunno, this 
is what i think.

description section. So once, again enjoy, and please do let me know 
if they don't work. Also let me know how you liked them as well.

[arr] Re: 3RD dimension?

[tanyaagha]

no there wasnt anything of that sort with 3D glasses or anything.  
yep basically there was only sivaji and boys and humma humma was sung 
in tamil, although he forgot the stanzas and just sung Na Na Na Na, 
still good anyways.  i think humma humma was the highlight of the 
evening. ill write detailed later.

Re: [arr] SFO concert Report - 1 (June 2, 2007)

[tanyaagha]

I agree with you, my mental status isnt even correct to start to 
describe the event. It was my honor to even be in the same room as A 
R Rahman sir.

was ultimate not deviating her voice even a bit from the originals.

was ultimate not deviating her voice even a bit from the originals.

not correct. For eg. Secret of success was too loud on the guitars

song which switched to different notes causing Chitra to slightly 
move away from the song and quickly she came to the correct notes)

[arr] Re: Is anyone back from the SFO concert yet?

[tanyaagha]

it was awesome, ill post a detailed entry later.

one thing must let you know now, the whole audience of about 15 000 
people sang and danced to chaiyya chaiyya, humma humma, sarigame, rang 
de basanti, and vande mataram. Ive never seen so many people singing 
and dancing at the same time. 
 during pray for me brother, the entire lighting was turned off except 
a single light on rahman, and the whole audience used their phones or 
whatever, and waved the lights back and forth. neevr before have i 
lived in such a beautiful moment.

I was the happiest tonight in that same room with A R Rahman, even if 
i did have to share it with 15,000 other people.

[arr] Re: ARR Tour - SF - Tickets Available from Tomorrow

[tanyaagha]

hey Kalimuthu, im not sure about getting the tickets as of yet, but 
i kno my moms friend is purchasing our tickets so i dont think ill 
be able to book with the yahoo group. but if the group gets to meet 
with rahman, please do count me in.  once we get a list of all the 
people attending the oakland/san francisco concert, maybe we can 
find a way to meet him before or after the show.  maybe we should 
start a list or something and see what can work for us? What do you 
think Kalimuthu or anyone else who might be attending the sf/oak 
concert? Please do keep me informed. My greatest dream is to meet A 
R Rahman sahab.

[arr] Re: Unaale unaale better than sivaji???

[tanyaagha]

being a die hard fan doesnt mean that we love everything of rahmans 
al the same. say if rahman were to say he hates jayaraj and doesnt 
want him to make music anymore, which he will never say, but its an 
example, does that mean we as fans will agree with him and protest 
for him to stop composing? no, if arr does something un ethical or 
makes music which "isnt up to the mark" so to speak, then we will and 
can say so. althogh in my personal opinion, as hard as arr can try, 
he can never make bad music. unaale unaale is good but then so is 
chennai 600028 and so is justin timberlakes album.  the main thing us 
arr fans should never forget is that, even though we love this man to 
death, he can have off days. no one is perfect. We have to check in 
with reality. with that said, i, not knowing a word of tamil, say 
that all praises are to sivaji! almost any album can be good if you 
look at it, but it takes something more to be extraordinary. and 
sivaji has that factor with or without rajni.

I really dont like to respond to things im not 100 percent sure 
about but i think other than trying to stop the piracy, we should 
just leave the matter until the music releases. the piracy was bad, 
whether the songs are fake or not. lets just wait and see guys. only 
my opinion. rahman never lets us down.

[arr] Dedicate A Song To Rahman For His Birthday

[tanyaagha]

First of all, Happy Birthday again sir. And now, I'm asking other fans 
in this group to pick a song and dedicate it to him. It doesn't have to 
be by him but make sure you state why you want to dedicate this 
particular song. Just a fun thought. I'll start.

I would like to dedicate Anbe Aaruyire to Rahman sahab.

Why? I think his music has been my best friend for a very long time and 
will always be.

I took a look at the movie. I ditched the American movie and did the 
background score for Rang De Basanti. Thank God for that"
