Same thoughts here Bro.. :-) Only one thing in 'Caps' in life ~ ARR !
Rahman fever His Music ~ My Mother Tongue ________________________________ From: Jaydeep Kumar <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Saturday, 25 July, 2009 9:16:09 PM Subject: Re: [arr] Where is the glorious RAHMAN Actually, I love all his songs...As far as I'm concerned, all his songs whether it's Roja, Guru, Jodha Akhbar to Aditi and Pappu sounds great to me. Nevertheless, I wanted to know how it feels like to be a "true ARR fan".*wink* I was hoping the caps would give me a feel to be like one..guess it didn't. Anyway, I'll stick to being a normal ARR fan anyday. --- On Sat, 7/25/09, Sreekrishnan R <rahmanfever@ yahoo.co. uk> wrote: >From: Sreekrishnan R <rahmanfever@ yahoo.co. uk> >Subject: Re: [arr] Where is the glorious RAHMAN >To: arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com >Date: Saturday, July 25, 2009, 4:07 AM > > > >Guess you are a true fan, Bro..
