Re: [arr] You know you are a true Rahman fan when...
Man, this one is just awesome. I swear on the person whom I like the most on this earth and tell you that the below is just talking about me, especially the point no.3 & 16 to 20 are just awesome. I always had a desire to meet ARRji and somewhere in the corner of my heart I had a strongest feeling that I would meet him for sure and I DID IT DURING OH LA LA LA AUDIO RELEASE. I also have the very strongest feeling in my heart, that I will invite ARRji to inaugurate one of my Schools and I am very sure that I will make it (By God's grace). Thanks P'ARR'THA. --- On Thu, 15/10/09, pratap wrote: From: pratap Subject: Re: [arr] You know you are a true Rahman fan when...

You have a good sense of melody and rhythm and can tell good music from average. You appreciate good music, regardless of who it comes from. You can go on for hours talking about Rahman when someone makes a mistake of asking you about your favorite music. You are never content and are always hungry and thirsty for more from Rahman. You have had many euphoric moments in your life.. connected with Rahman's music. You agree that an average Rahman song is better than the best most of the other can churn out. 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. 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. You sometimes feel this bliss, a kind of feeling that you are in heaven, when listening to Rahman's music. 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. You share this special bond with Rahman which is impossible to describe in words, let alone explain it to others. 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.

You take pleasure in new group (community) members arguing with likes of Gops and Vijay, when they come out with some Rahman info/news. 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. You can talk to any other Rahman fan and connect with them instantly. You have a deep desire to meet Rahman in person, and know deep in your heart that one day your dream will come true. 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. 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. 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. 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). 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.

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.
