u may be right about getting such information on aish or abhisshekh in other sites .But normally info posted here is connected to ARR and incidently the others come into picture. So if this is not a place where ARR's info is to be pasted which other better place is there?

[SAD] To: [email protected] Date: Friday, August 22, 2008, 9:42 PM My dear friends, Thanks all for considering my email positively (because I didn't get any bashing from anybody so far). But I noticed onething. Everybody is pointing to Vithur only. Why? I never meant his posts; I meant in general. Sorry, Vithur (don't misunderstand me). And few said they're with Vithur; I'm also with Vithur (since I posted this, does it mean that I'm against Vithur?). As somebody stated, though we've google alerts & RSS Feeds facility, it is easy to get all info here in one place (being posted by Vithur and others). But I think this is not the place for that purpose. If somebody wants to know about other stuffs (like Marmayogi, Robot, Maniratnam, what Aishwarya & Abhishek are doing, etc...), let them go and find it from other places. Its not a place to read about the progress of those movies. We already knew ARR is assoicated with these movies because of which we don't have to know the progress of the movie too; we don't want to know who is the producer, what is his budget, where and when the shooting is getting started? I'm sure even ARR is not interested about all these Qs. Then why should we bother? If ARR is doing some research on music for those movies, those articles can be posted here. If ARR is doing some research on 6th century music to compose for Marmayogi, we can discuss here "what could it be? how it could sound? etc..." Be frank my friends... We know that there are definitely VERY LESS about ARR in the recent posts than NON-ARR stuffs (may be 1 or 2 lines about ARR). Sorry for the comparison here... Just visit "Ilayaraja - Orkut community" once; you'll understand what the community is meant for. They're discussing lot about IR's music and specialities, nook and corner of his music. And visit "Kamal Hasan's Orkt Community", they discuss a lot about Kamal (leave some exceptional posts apart) and his movies (for instance, they're discussing about Dasavatharam right from the movie release and revealing lot of info everyday). They look really logical and interesting to know about Kamal & his talent. In the same way, we've to discuss about ARR, his music and his talent and small small stuffs he hides in his music. So that other fans who have less knowledge on music (like me) will come to know the talent of ARR. Just posting "whether the movie shooting is started or not" neither helps in understanding ARR's music nor his talent. Hey Bergin, you do remember those days (I miss those days yaar)...!!! I don't want to create an argument among our friends (Rahmaniacs) . What I want is 'reasonable analysis' and 'worthy contents'. Thanks for not bashing me.

All of us here are ARR fans, lets be united. Siraj, I remember our hostel days in Jamal, then we argue with non-ARR fans that argue with us. You, me and other Siraj on a side supporting ARR. But all of us here are ARR fans, why to indulge unnecessary arguement. In fact i didnt want to read all the messages on this topics. I very much understand and appreciate your intentions of having a good and healthy conversation. Did you notice, in the past month or so, there's not much posting from Gopal or Vijay, very few infact. That doesnt mean they are out of the forum or Silent... Instead of arguing, lets start a good healthy discussions. One thing, Let us all appreciate Vithur for his efforts to post news that comes every day. I do have my own Google Alerts, that alerts me on ARR news every day. But i find it difficult to read 'em all. And this man is taking efforts to keep the forum informed on news involving ARR. And let's not forget the charity work he does. Hats off to you Vithur. Let's discuss, if there's a way to popularise ARR to the rest of the world, how as a fan we can take this to other people around the world and show we have a man that has sold so many records in just 16 yrs. Think of what we can do to spread the word. let's all market the brand ARR to the world as much possible. Post articles where ever possible, guys abroad, talk to your non-indian colleagues about ARR on your casual discussions . And let them know about his music. That's what we should do and that will help improve his music sales in US and other countries and will in turn help ARR to go more closer to Grammy and other awards.

You mentioned that it is boring to read articles copy and pasted from other websites. But it is very useful to the members who are checking mails through mobile. I regularly checking mails in my mobile and iam very thankful to the members who are posting articles from various sites especially VITHUR. I have been a member in this group since 2002 and reading such posts. I believe that this group is more active comparing with other forums because of such active members. U mentioned about some members here, yes they were posting interesting topics in the last some months. Hope they will come back. > > Siraj K wrote: > My dear fellow Rahmaniacs, > > No offense meant; I don't intend to hurt anybody here; please understand. > It has been a long time since we had some healthy, constructive and meaningful article / discussions happened in our own ARR's Yahoo Group Forum. > >> Friends, please don't ask me, " How many posts have you posted?

Many times it happens to get same info from various websites (for ex, Kamal's Marmayogi, Mani's Mahabharat, Shankar's Robo, Akshay's Blue, Rashid Ali's interviews, etc, etc...) We're seeing same info about these on different posts atleast 5 times everyday ( same info is repeated over and over; again and again - by various fans; many times by the same fan ). Its really boring and frustrating to read. > >> There are few posts where there is no trace of ARR's name at all. > Yahoo Group is becoming like Orkut community where we don't see any healthy debate or discussions. > Please guys, old active members of Yahoo! fans club, please come again and start the healthy discussions. > >> It looks we're working hard to reach the message / post count to reach 1 million; we don't need that. If we want to reach 1 million, we can simply start posting " I LOVE YOU ARR " everyday 10 times; soon we'll reach 1 billion or 1 trillion. We need some meaningful analysis and constructive debates / reviews on ARR's music. > >> Sorry if my mail hurts anybody. > Cheers, Siraj._,_.___ Recent Activity 56 New Members Visit Your Group Yahoo!
