Hi George,
You wrote exactly what I have been thinking forever. 100% agree with you. Please read the mail I have sent to the group last friday. Take care, Serge.

Hey Guys, This whole CWG theme songs fiasco has been really getting my blood boil. This is my 2cents worth. Here is a group of politicians who are known to be corrupt to the bone. I am generalizing here. I am an Indian living in Australia. I am proud of being Indian. BUT, I cannot stand the corruption that goes on in India. One of the main reasons for me to leave India was the corruption there. Not saying that there is no corruption anywhere else but there is so much of it in India and we all know it but no one does anything about it. It is great to see a hero in a movie killing all sorts of weeds in our government but in reality there is no one stopping the weeds entering the government The CWG anthem in absolutely brilliant. I loved it and can't get enough of it. The only reason for finding faults with A.R.Rahman is to divert the focus from the politicians corruption scandals. For the people who have a problem with the money paid to Rahman.... I am sorry he deserves every paise. There is no other musician who could have come up with a better compositions. That is the plain truth. This is really making my blood boil to a point where I feel like calling a press conference and putting thing forward to the bloody media and asking them the questions about where are their compositions and which one of them have had even 2 days of music lessons for them to make such claims and bring it out as headlines. If there was someone from this group who could help me voice our support and bring the corrupt politicians to the limelight I will be happy to support and will come back to my motherland India. India is a great country and would be even better if we had been governed by clean politicians. There are a few great, highly educated politicians who would make great leaders but they are all sidelined so that the greedy, uneducated scum could rule a great country only to drag it to their standards. I guess our politicians enjoyed the Shakira song only because of all the skin shown. Guess they were looking only at the video (I personally think they wouldn't have understood the lyrics.. hahaha....) Sorry couldn't help putting that in! I really liked Wakka Wakka for the brilliant composition, the beats, rhythm and also the dance in the video was great! As I read in one of the topics Wakka wakka was made for the biggest sporting event in the world. It had to be publicized they it was. Another thing I wanted to point out was that, a 99% of these self proclaimed music critics said that the words of the CWG theme wasn't what they had expected, now what does the lyrics have to do with A.R.Rahman. If the words are not in sync with the event you criticize the lyricist and not the composer. I hope these self proclaimed music critics do know what the difference is between the lyrics and the music of a song. I am sorry for a lengthy email but I had to put all my feelings into words! Will India ever become a corrupt free country? Will there be a day when all the politicians will say that they don't accept bribes and actually be saying the truth? I hope we as a group can bring about this change and make A.R.Rahman sir be proud of fans like all of us. We are a group of 16231 members even if we just try and get a few people to change and create a domino effect we could change our great country and make it better than any other place in the world and be known for something great other than a land of call centers. Hope we can do this and make A.R.Rahman's and our dreams of a great India come true. God Bless you our A.R.Rahman sir and all of us his fans. TAKE CARE!
