Congrats to TWS and all involved in the rahmania show to re-create arr
live-in-concerts successfully, this time arr's presence being felt thro his
songs performed by TWS. Good treat for puneites. My intution, ARR will rock in
Marati Films too. Like global rhythms played alongwith arr in few shows, TWS
will also join mr.ARR for such shows in future. Best Wishes for the same to be
prepared ever as this may happen any moment.

Hello Everybody,
Congratulations and kudos to the entire team behind the Rahmania
event.
You guys put up a great show.
I was there for the last of the three performaces and enjoyed it
thoroughly.
The Wandering Souls are a bunch of really talented guys and belted
out great performances in whatever constraints and resources they
had.
Just wished that the show could go on for a longer time and more
numbers could have been performed.
Regards,
Vinay Patil
