Here is the criteria for *"official arr fan"* title that I came up with. I believe this is a true test to seperate out water from milk, rhetoric from substance and, show-off from devotion. real arr fans thrive on his songs and music and melody. sending 100 mails a day doesn't qualify someone to be an arr fan. there are people who are fan of "being a fan of arr". we are not interested in knowing whether you are a fan or not. all the self-proclaimed fans can judge themselves if they really deserve this title.
just take these two quizzes.. with 3 minutes time limit for a total of 40 questions. maximum two attempts for each question. after you are done, use the following table and judge yourself. http://www.s-anand.net/blog/a-r-rahman-songs/ http://www.s-anand.net/blog/a-r-rahman-hindi-songs/ If your total score , T is 36 < T < 40 ==> You are Officially True and Honest Rahman fan. 31 < T < 35 ==> Official Rahman fan 26 < T < 30 ==> just another arr fan T < 25 ==> well, you may give a title for yourself cuz we aint bothered if you boast abt being arr fan Thanks to Anand for his quizzes. Please comment on whether you think the criteria for earning the title and rules for the test are just reasonable or too stringent or too lenient. babu On Fri, Feb 27, 2009 at 6:38 PM, partha sarathi <[email protected]>wrote: > Hi all fellow fans of (ARR (MY GOD) > > I have been a deciple of MY GOD ARR ever since "ROJA" was created. > > Just wanted to share a very memorable situation tat had happened way back > in 2003 Feb, I was working in night shift and that evening there was a Live > in concert by A R Rahmanji and this venue was abt 50kms away from my place > in HYD.
