Hey Anish, I respect your opinions. We don't have to agree about our favorites. Rahman's collection of albums are as varied as the colors and hues on a rainbow. We will each have our favorite color and hue or shade and that's fine. It's what makes life exciting....to have different viewpoints and opinions. I say, let's just agree to disagree! It's not worth warring over different opinions and nobody is going to succeed in changing someone's opinions. Good to hear from you!
