Um, excuse me..... Please kindly show me the words that I used in your reference to "forcing my opinions on others". I expressed my opinions assertively, but never did I once say that everyone has to agree with me or that not liking Saawariya is wrong. I said that I have a hard time understanding why some think it's boring, but I am understanding this viewpoint more and more now and I accept it. The rest of the world can hate this album and I will still love it and have no problem with that. You guys are so insecure. And you are also incorrect in assuming that Saawariya is the best album this year for me. I said it was probably in my top 3.
Give it a rest guys. I want to move on. --- In [email protected], $*$ PaVaN $*$ <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Thulsi, i dont think hes new to the group..watever..Mr.Chord,no need to baffle,no need to think too much,we all accept your view and your opinion that saawariya is the best album for you this year,but dont try to force your opinion on others...thts wat you are doing....pls stop that.. > > Thulasi Ram <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: if u r here to say something about other MD's albums alone, then this is not the right place. u seem to be new to the group. let me see what u write when an ARR album releases. m saying this to u because there r few in this group who mail/reply only when there is a non-arr topic or speaking about other MD's.. so, let me not jump upon u now as i think u havent been here when an ARR album is released. let me see what ur take for JA is... > > On 9/26/07, Chord <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: Different opinions will be abound.
