Diya -
Nicely written. But, I feel that we put undue pressure on the maestro with the
below statement.
That “fairly good” is unacceptable from someone like ARR. Only masterpieces
that transcend human imagination deserve to be associated with his name!
I am one of those who like CWG theme song... didn't have to force myself to
like
it. Listened few times on my iPod and bingo!
Few more points
* In one of the news conferences - ARR requested Media to write all the
good
work that went into organizing CWG. They didn't take it well that minute and I
see that current media bashing is a result of it.
* To me, the song actually starts after the guitar - I liked the way
both
guitar and sitar are blended.
The only problem to me is the pace and missing layers. As you rightly pointed
out, it looks like he was asked to slow down & remove noisy layers
Cheers,

Subject: [arr] My blogpost on the CWG theme song
Hi all,
Here's a post I wrote about compiling all that I have to say about this entire
CWG issue. It includes some of the things I have already written in the mails,
so if you have read them, feel free to ignore this post, it might be a
repetition :)
And it's strictly a personal opinion, so I know some of you will disagree. That
is totally fine. If you read and have anything to say, do leave a comment there.
Thanks!
