Why is this not mentioned on the CD? Ae Hairaten as a song is good, but Mujhpe Toofan Udhaye from Tehzeeb was much better to me, lyrically and musically, being in the same genre. I like Hariharan singing songs like Thottal Poo Malarum, but sometimes he isn't the best choice. He is an awesome singer and a very nice person. Always a smile on his face. Same goes for SP Bala and Shankar Mahadevan.
If you remember (or as some of you will check), the world cup final between India and Australia was played the same day as the LA concert 3 years ago. The A R R group arranged for the game in the hotel lobby. So there I was, with Sonu Nigam, SP Bala and wife, Shankar M, H. Sridhar, Vasundhara Das, Mahalaxmi Iyer, Hariharan, Sivamani (with a bongo or congo, although I don't know how many chances he got at being jubilant. He gave us an excellent lunch break though), and some of the dancers (A R R does not like cricket). So these are the cricket-crazy people in A R R's association. I left after Tendulkar got out in the first over or so. Point is, I got to see some of these people at close range and found especially the Tamil stars to be very modest people. Also, coming to Sivamani, some cricket networks have paid him money in the past to go to games and play the drums or percussion to get the crowds excited. --- In [email protected], shaik mahaboob <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Dear Mohammed Ameer, > > You are cent percent correct that "Ey Hairathe Ashiqui" " is originally from legendary 19th Century celebrated Urdu Poet Janab Amir Khusru's Ey Shabrathe Ashiqui.
