But think about it this way. 1 ) Sensible approach. it comes naturally if you understand that there are thousands of types of music and many of those may not be liked by all. It is also taking into consideration of all the other fans who liked the music. Because it offends our sense of music when you say AR Rahman hasn't created great music since 2005.
2) Overly emotional, stubborn and immature approach. characteristics - Usage of exaggerated words, somehow believing that being out-spoken is some sort of intellectual quality that is very rare. also thinking that the whole world should agree with me. Also, a confession. My first mail to this group was the stupidest thing I ever wrote. it was way back in 2003, i think. I posted something about the songs I didn't like and called them bad songs. and it also includes songs that you love ( Urvvasi urvvasi, thee thee etc..). And, I tried to convince the rest of the people that I was right. You might find it in the archives. something I am not so proud of. As for me, I like you for being honest about what you think. But you don't have to talk about that every time a CD releases. try to understand that there are people getting offended because you sort of religiously bash every album that comes out, even though it may not be what you meant. Taimur, try to make that little adjustment in your mails and I guarantee you, that your opinions will be noticed and even agreed by a lot of us (including me) it's only a matter of picking the right words. why don't you re-read the mails before you hit the send button. analyze your own thought and pick the right words to express them without offending the rest of the community. give it a try, brother. won't cost you a thing.
