You appreciate good music, regardless of who it comes from. 3.You can go on for hours talking about Rahman when someone makes a mistake of asking you about your favorite music. 4.You are never content and are always hungry and thirsty for more from Rahman. 5.You have had many euphoric moments in your life.. connected with Rahman's music. 6.You agree that an average Rahman song is better than the best most of the other can churn out. 7.Regardless of how the World finds Rahman music, you think Rahman makes music just for your ears. You genuinely believe that Rahman somehow knows what kind of music you unconsciously crave and then magically delivers that to you. 8.Your most prized collection in your entire music collection is your Rahman collection, whether it's in form of cassettes, CD's or hard-disk space on computer or ipods. 9.You sometimes feel this bliss, a kind of feeling that you are in heaven, when listening to Rahman's music. 10. If the World was to go back to using the barter system again, you wouldn't mind trading a 1000 non-Rahman songs for a single Rahman song. 11. You share this special bond with Rahman which is impossible to describe in words, let alone explain it to others. 12. Your friends/family fail to understand why you listen to music in a language that makes no sense to you, whatsoever. But, a few weeks later, you totally understand why your friends/family are humming/singing the very song they don't understand and were puzzled about you listening to it. 13. You are part of the Rahman Yahoo! group and visit it at least once a day. 14. You take pleasure in new group members arguing with likes of Gops and Vijay, when they come out with some Rahman info/news. 15. You are tired of new member joining the group and inquiring about and referring to the fake Ekyam Satyam. You too hope to listen to the real one someday, if it exists somewhere. 16. You can talk to any other Rahman fan and connect with them instantly. 17. You have a deep desire to meet Rahman in person, and know deep in your heart that one day your dream will come true. 18. You have thought of it many a times and tried to come up with a plan of what you would do? How would you react? when you actually meet Rahman. 19. You can find the challenging task of solving a complex problem rather easy compared to the daunting and difficult task of coming up with your absolute top-10 Rahman favorites. 20. Any criticism of Rahman is hard for you to digest, because most of the time it comes from people that haven't heard enough of Rahman and yet have no problem talking about him. 21. Your blood pressure tends to rise when an average listener sings praises for other MDs(especially Anu Malik, Harris J, and the more recent and annoying Himesh). 22. When it comes to R.D. Burman or may be Illayaraja, you tend to put an end to the conversation by saying... No doubt, Illayaraja is the greatest, but I think Rahman is even better... because it's true. (Self-fulfilling prophecy?) 23. You are a select few in the country that are familiar with obscure terms such as BGM or Interlude etc. And furthermore, you are a rare breed of fans that actually collects and listens to these BGM and Musical bits used in commercials. 24. You can listen to an hour of non-stop Rahman interludes and guess over 80% of them right. 25. You eagerly wait for each and every Rahman release, you set very high expectations for each album, a day after the release you will bash the album as below-average, a few months later you will hail the same album as a masterpiece and one of your personal favorites. 26. You suffer from this rare condition where... you wake up from your sleep, humming or singing a Rahman tune, involuntarily. You realize the condition is severe when you randomly shout out a Rahman tune you

I used to be a participant in IIT Sarang. I'm a crazy Rahman fan. Interviewer asks So did you think that you have to somehow get a chance and sing for Rahman. Karthik replied, No No...I just wanted to see him atleast once...I was such a crazy fan. I used to call the studios so many times and usually the studio manager or someone picks and keeps the phone...It was one of my cousin who was close to singer srinivas who got me that golden opportunity to meet Rahman...It was purely by God's grace. When I met him, he asked Do you sing? and I said yes and sang a song in front of him. He then immediately said, You have a nice voice. why don't you choose singing as your career. That was the moment, I left everything else and again started practising daily. I was so happy to hear that from him. But I didn't get a chance immediately. It was an interesting incident and unforgettable even now - The opportunity that I got to sing for Rahman...That day was one of my friends birthday...So we a gang of friends went out to a snooker parlour and decided to spend till midnight and give a surprise birthday gift to our friend...Those days Cellphones were not that popular and only one of our friend had...Rahmanji was looking for some fresh voices to do a chorus and Singer Srinivas was trying to reach Tippu, Harish Raghavendra, Gopalrao etc...When he couldn't get hold of one of them he tried reaching my home number...My mom was trying to reach my friend's cell phone but unfortunately couldn't reach as the signal was so poor in the snooker parlour...Srinivas had atleast tried 8 times to my home and my mom started literally crying because she knows how much interest I was showing towards singing...It was at 11:45 when we came upstairs, after 3.5 hours, i got to attend my mom's call and came to know about the call from the studio..I took my bike and rushed to the studio...I saw Javed Akthar sir for the first time...The movie was Pukar and I had to sing with the chorus with Tippu, Harish, and Dr.Narayan. That was my first recording and it just happened in 30 mins and at around 1.00 am, I'm home...I couldn't just beleive that I did a recording in Rahmanji's studio...I told all my friends but no one beleived...Unfortunately, that song in Pukar didn't release. (Does anybody know anything about this unreleased song?) Then I used to regularly do some chorus with Tippu and Harish and I was singing Chorus for 1 year. Rahman always gets confused in identifying Tippu and me. He always thought I'm Tippu...One day during a chorus session, Rahman said, You...the guy without spectacles, you stay there...others come out. That was me. I know he is going to ask me to sing. I thought this is the opportunity and i have to prove myself else pack my bags and go back to studies...He asked to sing a sad alaap.. I was singing and he was guiding by playing the chords...He wanted more cry in the alaap and I just forgot myself and started singing continuously, closing my eyes...After a while, I opened my eyes to see everyone laughing...Rahman had already standing next to me and said Good Job. You did well. Next day, he asked me to come to the studio for a track. He said he is going to try something and also said if it works well, he will use it. That was the song for the movie Jodi and the song is Nendhukittaen Nendhukittaen. I was nervous but Rahman has a special capability. He knows what technique to use to extract the work from the singers. He sets the right mood to each singer. He started cutting jokes with me and made me really comfortable before recording the song..It took me 45 minutes to complete the song. After the recording, he said, it's good, let's see, if it works out, we will use it...This is how I got my first break with Rahman... The Girl Friend song in boys was really interesting. While working with Rahman, you will never know how the song will come out but this is the one song that every one of us knew that it's gonna rock...When I started recording this song, Rahman interrupted and said, I want you to sing in a Blues feel. I smiled and said, I don't know blues, please guide me Then he started singing it for me...He said think a saxaphone and

And not just did AR Rahman stop with Roja-with super hits till today's ADA-Rahman kept finding new talents from everywhere and gave them breaks that never made them look back. Musicians to singers to technicians, he finds the best and gets the best out of them. His latest find being Kabhi kabhi Aditi's voice-Rashid Ali. Quite easily he's been the talk of the music town now. Apart from bringing to us great and outstanding peices of music,discovering new talent and giving them opportunities has been one of the greater qualities of AR Rahman. It was the at the recently concluded audio launch of the latest AR magic called Sakarakatti, I met this musician, who is doing wonders with Rahman right now. Quiet and always on work-he seemed to have got this quality working with AR Rahman. when I got to know him further he surely proved to be important in the making of the music of ARR!! It all started with his name. Excuse me, I've seen you for quite sometime here, Im Nazeef, a huge fan of ARR-how about you? With a smile-Krishna Chetan replied!! You dont have to be so formal daa!! It was Krishna Chetan indeed-and to be called ARR's music assistant is to have climbed the highest in the musical ladder-I felt so personally. Right from preparing the Beats and Grooves to giving the final touches on Rahman's command, Chetan shares the strongest Musical bond with our hero. And to talk more about him, behind almost every new release of AR Rahman, his name has been credited. And now he has proved to be quite a rage with his super remixes. He has always been the quiet man, like I said almost a reflection of his Boss himself, but he plays a very integral part in the making of ARR's music. The singers and others somehow get to be in the limelight with the first song they work with ARR -but it took Ponmagal Vandal for Krishna Chetan to get slightly noticed. I took this to be my Golden chance to expose a little more of ARR's music assistant Krishna Chetan!! *First things First, how did you meet AR Rahman?* :) My Dad is a musician. He had worked with ARR from his first movie and has played an important role in his rhythm arrangements in his early albums. After he felt that I have grown up to a level, after working with several other music directors, one fine day he spoke with ARR and joined me in his team. *What did you talk with him on your first meeting?* Not much!! He gave me work through his engineer. It was the vaaji vaaji song from Shivaji and at that same time RDB song mixing was happening on the other side. I programmed the song and waited for him, he suddenly appeared heard it, made a few corrections and gave his feel of the song and left. Our first few meetings had always been about work. It took me RDB background score to actually see more of Rahman and his work. *Could you enlighten us on your journey before meeting ARR?* **I was working as a freelance keyboard programmer for many music directors like SA, Raj Kumar, Mani Sharma, Srikanth deva, T Rajender etc. Before that, I completed five grades of music theory and solo piano from Trinity College London, soon after I did a diploma in sound engineering from SAE technology college. *So on a normal day in the studios, what exactly is your work like?* **It depends on what work is happening that day, whether it is composing or recording or music production or background score. Each of it requires a different mind set, and I play different roles in each. But ultimately as a person who knows both music and technology, my main job is to put everything together and take the product close to the finish point and make sure work does not stop. :) *What exactly does a programmer do? In this case you..* In short a good programmer who knows Music and Music production can
[arr] Re: Rahman to westernize Thirukkural? - Hope it is untrue..
I don't think Rahman will spoil the traditional aspect of Thirukkural. He is doing his best for youngsters to get an insight into Indian traditions. I am sure he will come out with an amazing work and not spoil Thirukkural the way Ilayaraja spoilt Thiruvaasagam. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Kamal Aakarsh Vishnubhotla [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Thats sad,,i hope it untrue..

To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Friday, July 25, 2008, 5:00 PM Rahman to westernize Thirukkural? July 25, 2008 In a recent interview to a tabloid, A R Rahman expressed his desire to release the Tamil verse collection Thirukkural in rap format. He replied so when asked what would be his contribution to the younger generation. Rahman further mentioned that the project would involve desi Rapper Blazee, who is already on the job of preparing the format and would be a novel attempt to popularize Tamil literature. As per Rahman, Blazee would sing Thirukkural in rap version and Carnatic music would be used to mix in the background. Rahman was also quoted as saying by the tabloid that he would only produce the album and music would be rendered by Blazee himself. -- regards.. Krish... His Music ~ My Mother Tongue Rahman is born with so much of humility. He doesn't differentiate between singers and gives all singers the same amount of respect. More importantly, he does not discourage a new singer.When I met Rahman initially, he said, 'I dont know how long I will last in an industry where there are great 'jambavans'. I'll last for 5 years at the most'. Then, I met him 5 years later and he said God has given me 5 moreyears. Now, it's been 20 years he still rules. He's a good humanbeing and a great composer -- SPB Sir http://www.orkut. co.in/AlbumList. aspx?uid= 7295035299513517 297

A brief of what he discussed with Raihanaji is as follows :- Hi. This is Vijay. I am from Mumbai, just moved to Chennai. I was a big fan of AR, then became a friend of him, and its my good fortune that I work for him now. I am based in Chennai now. Rahman has announced his new music label, which is called KM Music. Its a music company. I manage the Label. I also do other things like managing the content of his website , lot of creative stuff etc . Km Music has been Rahman 's dream, and he has mentioned this in a lot of his interviews. The Kind of music he likes... Nowadays, if you see, all sort of music is commercialised. and music sales is not that much. Basically, a film which has 4 or 5 Kutthu songs are become the pick of the day ( This was told by Raihannaji), and thats what sells ( told by Vijay) . There needs to be a market for true Music Lovers, and Rahman shares that feeling, and this label of his will give an opportunity for him as well as other musicians to explore what is not within commercial parameters. Almost from the time, Roja got released, I have been a fan. Actually, I dont know, if I could take you through that journey, I used to tour Chennai , in my vacation during my school days. That time Roja cassette had released, and my uncle had bought me the same. On the return journey to Bombay, I didnt listen to the Roja cassette. My sister was listening to it in her walkman. And then she used to say, Its verynice; very nice . But I nevr heard it. Then , I was surfing Tv Channels. Then I heard, Netru Illadha Maatram . Then I went back to Roja, and thats how the journey began Then in 1994, when I came to Chennai, I saw this movie Duet. The song Anjali Anjali with awesome interludes and awesome song. In fact, right after the movie, I made up my mind, that I want to meet Rahman. I dont know if you would remember or not, when I called up the studio, ( the house ) , you answered the phone, and it was you who guided me to the place. So, Anjali Anjali is a very good song. I also love the song, Lukka Chuppi and want to dedicate to my mother. Rahman 's duet with Lataji. For the past some years , you listen only to Love duets, and this is first of its kind, where a mother and her son talk to each other in this manner, and its really nice. *Experiences as a FAN * At that time, there were only cassettes, because the Cds were expensive. That too, I was in Bombay. Very rarely, do you get Tamil cassettes there. There used to be a store called, Giri Stores, where we used to get Tamil cassettes. and I was little far off from this place. At those times, we never used to know , when Rahman is releasing a track, as the internet was not that prevalent. I used to call the Giri stores almost daily, to find if any new release of Rahman had got released. For getting a cassette worth Rs 50 /-, a lot of phone calls used to be made, and the shop keeper used to reply, No Sir. nothing has come . But, I used to make it sure, that whenever the cassette got released in Bombay, I used to go 45 minutes by train, and get the cassette. In fact, right from Pudiya Mugam to Sakkarakatti, I still remember, how and when I have gone to buy the cassette. That was fantastic. Towards 2000, when the Internet became popular, we formed a Fan Club on the Internet. It was Gopal ( he is based in Bangalore ), who started this Fan Club . And world over members started joining, and the activities kind of increased. Before, all this, we used to feel that it was we who are big fans , and after coming into the community, we could realise, that there are much more crazy fans than us. Every Interview of Rahman, Photos of rahman ( My cupboard.. I used to paste photos ) , Cassettes, Cassette covers, Rare songs, Ad Jingles, were there with everyone. This community was a good forum, for rare information exchange. Vijay sings a song, Tere Bina . ( Very nice singing from Vijay... :-)) *Transformation into a Friend of Rahman * ** Its an interesting story. In 1994, when I came to Chennai, through
