Re: [arr] Music gives hope in the middle of darkness
Chord, Good thoughts. I may sound paranoid, but i believe the whole way we humans have been evolving went terribly wrong somewhere - war and philanthropy started to be romanticised. Both are evil, they shouldn't exist in an ideal world. Financial, market and social institutions designed for equal rights ended up serving the rich and against the poor. Now the world is slowly staring to rethink its stand on wars and war is no more seen as an act of pride or patriotism. Banks are starting lend money to the poor, who need money, rather than always lending to the rich, who don't need it! World is becoming more colorful with different people starting to live together. Somehow we should devolve socially and reach back to those harmonious living. We should hope to see peace now, rather in future. I think if we don't see now, it will never happen in future. We, as fans of Rahman, should spread it by living it. Music is one of the most powerful mediums to spread message. We have seen and had such experiences. I definitely think Rahman will become a force strong enough globally to bring many people together through his music. It will be each of our responsibility (yes, i believe we cannot be indifferent, if we don't do it then we are doomed, we just cannot continue to deteriorate any further) to live the values we want to see. I agree it's complex or has been made complex by many social structures and few people who gain out of that. But as a matter of fact, it's so simple to live peacefully as that's the very nature of us. On Sun, Mar 15, 2009 at 5:27 AM, Chord purev...@yahoo.com wrote: Nope. I am not him.

Re: [arr] Music gives hope in the middle of darkness
While you refer to it as dualities ... I think there is a field of study in management where its referred to as Contrasts. That is why in a piece of music ..when there is a sudden silence after reaching the crescendo ..it attracts the attention. Here again we have a contrast from to highs in the music to a total silence. I think Rahman himself excels in this contrast. The song from Kadhalan .Enavale ..is a case in point. Others can add such songs with the contrasts --- On Wed, 3/11/09, Chord purev...@yahoo.com wrote: From: Chord purev...@yahoo.com Subject: [arr] Music gives hope in the middle of darkness To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Wednesday, March 11, 2009, 5:48 PM Evil deeds and hard times have always been around.

Re: [arr] Music gives hope in the middle of darkness
You spoke out on my thoughts... Very true words... My daughter is 10 months old now, I take her away from tv whenever we watch news about any violence. As I was told it gets registered in their mind easily and they start growing thinking that's the reality. So I turn down the tv or listen to HIS music. It gives you peace of mind and you tend to forget the odds. -Bergin www.berginroy.com Sent via BlackBerry by ATT -Original Message- From: Chord purev...@yahoo.com Date: Wed, 11 Mar 2009 17:48:44 To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Subject: [arr] Music gives hope in the middle of darkness Evil deeds and hard times have always been around.
