Have been using Rahman therapy for stress relief on myself and others for last
15 years and find that ANY Rahman song can be used to de-stress anybody.

After listening / reading to all comments on the CWG theme and the so called
bashing by ignorant sections of Media and our politicians, somehow I am
tempted to forgive them because all they are comparing ARR's CWG them music is
to ARR's earlier (musical) track record.
I would have been
Typical like a journalist, this guy from IBN or whosoever channel is only
concentrating on his channel's TRP ratings. They very well know the brand value
of ARR and are using Rahman as a tool to make controversial comments to sell
their channel programmes.
Their frenzy was portrayed in PEEPLI
Yes, MARO MARO would have been great, But the moment ARR would have used this
song, the media and other critics would have jumped on this saying that ARR
recycled his old song and the criticism would have taken a wrong turn, I
don't speculate to what extent.
The present debate too is like
It is slowly becoming irritating to read' some BABIES crying about being SAD
about an album or ARR should have made songs like old ones or ARR losing
touch and all such childish comments through some senseless posts.
Rahman's songs are like a fine WINE. They take time to mature and become more

That is why I wrote this post, I couldn't digest some of the loose critical
analysis of Rahman's hard work on this group and thought the HARD WORK behind
ARR's efforts needs to be highlighted.
It is extremely easy to make pseudo-intellectual remarks as to how ARR should
have or shouldn't have
Instead of trying to be the JUDGE of ARR's hardwork as some of us are doing, i
will try to look into various reasons which makes ARR's music click always. Do
add your points if you have your own reasons / analysis
1. ARR is constantly trying new Genre for his music as diverse as Spanish
You are right, I also saw that interview and not only on one News channel, that
sound byte was given to almost all news channels that day by Sukhwinder.
He was clearly not happy with all the happenings ( or non-happenings ).

Opinions may certainly differ on this issue (Gimmics). I for one am not in
favor of the dances, lights, Fireworks etc as they certainly distract the
attention from the beautiful melody of ARR's songs.
Basically ARR's music is so powerful and spiritually uplifting, it works best

ARR and Blaaze go a long way more than just music, Blaaze adds the modern RAP

GRAMMY too !

Dear Wiredbeats
You are a good COOK as you do know how to mix and match your ingredients to

4. Bombay Theme - Bombay
5. Chinna Chinna Aasha - the smaller version in Roja
I can also consider En Kaadhale (Duet),

I agree with HARI's points. Even if Rahman is not directly involved in the
event organisation, being a person on whose name the entire event is staged, he
should be made aware of the feedback of the audience / fans. And if the
situation is beyond his control, I guess, he should not continue
