Greetings sriram, ur post is absolutely true. I have been a member of this group ever since 2001 , and back in those days, members who are active were never harsh and rude towards the members as like nowadays. Not willing to mention the names here. I have expressed about this here few months back. Nowadays members can post without thinking whether is it rude or not. They just easily call people names and throw rough words on their own fellow brothers. Sarcasm is the popular attitude among the members here nowadays. Shame on them!
About the criticism, yes, members nowdays r afraid to face any negatives review towards ARR songs nowadays. If u say 1 negative word about the songs, u will have to prepare to face all kinda 'colorful' criticism from the people here. This behavior truly irks me. And i too truly believe the lack usage of carnatic raagam is the sole fact of his lack of soulfulness albums nowadays. I do hope this will reach A.R.Rahman. Unless A.R.Rahman is happy on how the way it is nowdays, that he is getting the recognition with the current pattern he is using, then we can just drop this matter. --- In [email protected], "sriramvr_in" <sriramvr...@...> wrote: > > Each member has a right to his opinion.
