I hate to be debating on this topic because our goal is the same. We
want to be proud supporting ARR in public via the tshirt, and ofcourse
we want publicity for ARR. He is the greatest composer of our time and
more people from around the world ought to know about his magic.
Music Composer/Singer label would do. But I don't think it will
attract any unfamiliar crowd because, although it conveys the point,
it seems mundane to me. (just my subjective opinion)
Something like If Mozart was alive he would be called Rahman of the
West.. not only conveys the point that he is a musical composer, it
is more intriguing, especially to a non-indian. I belive something
catchy will make people want to explore and see who he is.. afterall
isnt that what we all want?
People in Auckland are more receptive to other cultures, but Americans
are not. We need to give them good enough reason to explore something
otherwise they are uncomfortable with the change. ARR himself said
somethign similar once when asked about disappointment with bombay
dreams in the US.
Anyway, these are just my 2-cents.. Tshirt creators have the right to
choose whatever they wish after hearing our arguments.
Happy ARRing..

hey raju,shiva n others
Like guru said ...I also think the man ,the music
,the magic would explain that he is not a football
player ..pls !! ...And guys this is a tshirt abt our
boss ...so the search quote also does nt fit in too
well ..my suggestion is to keep it simple ...At the
front the man .the music .the magic logo along with
pic ..at teh back the unity of light enlarged pic and
a signature ...lets not try n sell or give publicity
to rahman here thru this ...I believe his music alone
would b good enuf for that ...I know we r sitting n
debating when we shud ve started the printing work
..but its worth a debate ...we cant change it once we
r moving into it ...so think !!

i have like all hard work by the fans here . the
design look
impressive and good and cool and but,
see.. all r thinking about ppl in india only . and
its right, every body
in india knows what is A R R .
but imagine one of this grp mmbr in california
wearing shirt . what do
you think will american ppl think about that ? what
can they say from
the shirt . ? is rahman footbal player ? hero ?
philosophic teacher ?
or another extrimist ?
they cant imagine anything from that . who will
understand that he is
a musician ? or composer ?
it is a mistake if we think that everybody know A R
R .
it is very important to mention about his music .
that is why u have mentioned some thing like
musician /
instrumentalist / singer there .
now, lets think in a different direction on the
search-dest sentence .
dont think all the americans or foreigners very
easily accept a
un-familier islamic name . my self very well know
how american act to
muslims . what do they imagine if they see a name
with no connection
with anything ?
and specially with a quote like search-dest .
went crazy and or what? search-dest is ok but u
cannot put on shirt ok
? . the line must be telling about his music . and
more to that , ppl
very easily finds faults with such quotes . and u
cannot argue with
people .
forget all..
i am just trying to make my point very clear .
sounds harsh . but take
it in good faith . dont miss understand me .
raju .
