Hi Fellow Rahman Fans,
Let me make things clear first...
I am member of this group for about 2 years now.
I am a software professional. I read all mails posted in this forum everyday.
I even went to that extent that I pulled out all archive mails that were posted
before I became a member of this group. I respect his music a lot and am a
die hard fan of his music.
Just like you guys, I love AR for who he is more than his music.
He has taught many of us what are the attributes of a gentleman, which has a
very strong influence on the way we behave now.
So, why did I write such a mail??
Answer: I wanted my point to go across strongly. I really did not mean
Rahmaniacs as STUPID. If so, then I too am on among you guys.
I want this group to be one of the finest groups in Yahoo. There should be a
take-away or a value-add to oneself after reading these mails.
I know most of the good things that we fans do as Rahman's fan,
example:
Distribution of food to poor by Rahman's fans - I SALUTE U GUYS
Sharing new about KM Music School - Teaching poor students music for free - I
SALUTE U GUYS - these things kindles humaneness in us
Sharing news about what guitar genius told in KM Music School - The points he
made were the take aways for us fans.- I SALUTE U GUYS
Akash's instrumental tracks - aspiring other fans also to try their hand at
music and getting constructive feedbacks from other fans. - I SALUTE U GUYS
And many more....
I want things like this to happen more than not.
These are the things which I think adds value to our group. Tell me if you guys
disagree.
I agree this is the best forum for us fans to express our feelings and be
happy, but being a Rahman's fan expects us to display very high standards in
our character.
We cannot afford to post whatevr we want. There should be a code of conduct
which every member must follow. Read thru all archive mails, you will
understand how many mails actually are worth a read. Dont many of us skip a lot
of the Reply mails for a particlular topic. Unnecessary replies. I point needs
to be made. You met Rahman, well its a good news, express it, but why do you
tak that topic so much further.
And why did I say that talking about music doesn't fill our belly??
Answer: Many of you replied that I was trying to be too smart by making my
point.
What do I get in return? We are a family, if someone or something goes a little
haywire, we as members should take the initiative to explain things to other
family members. Thats what I did. My point is still the same. Donot take music
as the only thing in life. If may of you guys are professionals and are just
participating in this forum at your leisure, I am glad. But this is for those
young fans who have not yet become professionals.
At this point, I would like to quote about what the Tamil Actor Ajit Kumar told
once to his fans: "Come to a movie theatre, watch that 2-3 hours movie, enjoy,
laugh, cry, dance while you are at the theatre. But once the movie is over, get
back to your life. Work hard, educat your kids, take cae of your family and
basically fullfil your needs in life."
I think he is the only film star that I know who said, he doesn't want
fan-clubs. Thats the display of true care that you have on your fans. Its
simple but true.
I have the same feeling for AR as I think of Ajit Kumar. AR would also think in
the same lines.
Listen to his music, praise it, feel it, be happy, but then get back to ur job
and make your career. (If it is not yet done). Partcipate in the forums only at
leisure.
(By looking at the number of posts that come in everyday, I wonder if people do
anything other than participating in the forums. Thats what triggerred me to
write this mail. Mind you, I have noticed this frenzy for 2 years. Only then I
stepped-in.)
My only point was to make my fellow members aware of what is real and what is
not.
I want all Rahman fans to be the brightest in their field. I too am striving
for the same.
I appologize if I had made any strong statements (but I had no other choice
than that) to put across my point. Lets just take steps from our side to keep
this community alive with healthy discussions.
This is an era of JAAGO RE, we youth cant go away from it. My previous mail was
just an awareness mail. I want everyone to be good and happy and have a
beautiful life. Nothing else was my intention.
We fans are not stupids, we are here to rock the world and Rahman Sir's music
will guide us always.
Jai Ho,
Ranjit
