Re: [arr] Re: Vijay Iyer in Rahmania Radio Program
ARR should notice Vijay's voice. He has a new singer around him... :) Really really superb Vijay, you have a wonderful voice.

Vijay Iyer shares a personal relationship with many of us and it goes beyond this forum. Vijay spoke for himself when he spoke about his journey.Never did he say that ARR found him genuine over any of us-nor did he say stuff like he was genuine and none of us are. Wont it be better if we feel happy for Vijay and his growth with ARR? Like Dinesh ji pointed out-Vijay has done everything that would benefit this group. Thanks Vijay and we wish you all the best.

vaidya ji. plz stop calling me himmathwala. I feel little embarrassing :) there is story behind this mail id. my birth name is: Himavanth I was having [EMAIL PROTECTED] mail id, to which i subscribed to this group during early day of 2000. I used to get 100s of mails. So i thought of creating new mail id with my birth name, which was not available. so i created this, which is very near rhyming wise (it striked to me at that time)...anyways, I feel little shy when i saw my email id. anyways, i wanted to say that because, ppl wont judge my attitude based on my email id. --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "Dinesh Vaidya" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > I know Vijay Iyer and he is the last person to speak or mention > something in a selfish way.

:) I will calm down guys! Just said my opinion. because it happened two times. i forgot to mention one thing in my previous mail that. When I wrote my ARR story in Houston, Vijay made a comment that thats the way fan shouldn't be! but I can't help myself. I am crazy fan of ARR. I would like to meet him..talk to him..have a snap with him. take an autograph with him...we luv him. same thing happened with vijay around 15 years back, where less media and communication world. and he is saying those things now! thats why i hurted little bit. anyways, I understand he may not be meant that. but it sounds like that because of those words and he said that to me, when I met ARR. anyways, I dont wanna continue personal discussions..njoy ARR related stuff :) --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Mahima Sengupta <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Suresh while I agree with the statement all fans are equal as in all human beings are equal...

:-)its all how u take it friend!...i didnt find anything wrong in what vijay had said.. For example: people say that they are rahman fans but they wouldnt care in buying his original cds!they just download it in the internet r borrow from someone and copy...in this case i feel he is not genuine fan.. enjoy the journey...

Suresh while I agree with the statement all fans are equal as in all human beings are equal... I think its a wrong allegation on Vijay ...I am dead sure he would never have wanted to to discriminate. Its just the ecstacy of meeting ARR and wanting to share it with others. Any fan would have said he or she is lucky to have met ARR and would feel the same way Vijay felt.

[arr] Re: Vijay Iyer in Rahmania Radio Program
I know Vijay Iyer and he is the last person to speak or mention something in a selfish way. So Dear Suresh, kindly remove this doubt from your mind. Since this was interview of Vijay as a person, it is but natural that he will respond as an individual and he can not be the "representative of all fans" all the time. And Suresh Himmathwalla ji, As far as meeting Rahman, You atleast have his signature taken, I have not even seen him in person, so aren't you much better placed than many of us ? Be happy !

Re: [arr] Re: Vijay Iyer in Rahmania Radio Program
Dear Suresh I dont think Vijay said anything wrong... he never discriminated other fans... In fact, he even thanked the Almighty throughout his talk, saying that it was Gods Grace that he is one amongt the millions to be blessed with a chance... The words, just say that ARR was convinced in Vijay 's love for him, and Vijay was genuinely devoted to ARR... No offense here pls..

[arr] Re: Vijay Iyer in Rahmania Radio Program
"He just saw me and he thought that this is a crazy fan, but was really convinced, that I was really genuine." I am not really convinced with above statement. I am a crazy fan of Rahman. If i get a chance, I too like to spend my entire life with Rahman (musical life..of course not intruding into his personal life) Vijay, you are lucky enough that you met ARR at very early stage and nice opportunity to be with ARR. you dealt it perfect. you got the talent to do it. but discriminating other fans is not just good. This is the second time I am observing that kind of attitude. When I met Rahman in Houston, I dont have much choice other than taking an autograph...At that time I dont want to disturb ARR more than that. anyways, I am not being jealous, but contrary to the above two lines of words. All fans are equal (just like all human beings). I luv this grp so much, I get all coolest..rarest bits of ARR which I couldnt get any where else... --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, "Farzad khaleel" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Ok Boss..

Vijay, You are one among the stars to be blessed to transform from a fan to an associate to the GREAT ARR. I personally envy you. Hope to get a chance to meet him in my lifetime. Vithur, thanks yaar. I enjoyed reading it. If there's any rebroadcast of the interview let me know, i'll try to listen in the internet. And Gopal, expecting you soon to share your experience.
