This reminds me of a saying in Kannada language: "nayi bogaLidre devaloka haLagolla" A literal translation of the above saying would mean "Nothing will happen to the God's world (heaven) if a dog barks".
First of all a few disclaimers: I am not calling anyone a dog or anyone God here. These are just metaphors to get a point across. So let us just let this Abhijeet sleep deeply. Why disturb ourselves and his sleep too?!! :) Love, Adi. 2009/3/7 Dinesh <[email protected]> > yeah, i remember he said A.R.Rahman is the flop maker he dun want to be > a part of Rahman's flop music.
