Don't Worry Shakib
This is only a temporary phase.
He will make all of his bashers mum by his works, not by words or arranging
some
press meet.
All those who makes noises are not genuine, they are just waited for a chance.
And the hungry media wants some sensational news.
Even their mother been raped, they will seek sensation on that.
So ignore all those guys.

Subject: [arr] An open letter from the heart, to all rahmaniac brothers and
sisters.
Dear rahmaniacs,
I didn't keep any sort of intention to prove anything while writing this
message. It's just an open communication to my beloved brothers and sisters in
this wonderful group. This whole fiasco surrounding the CWG theme is killing
me.
Where ever I go online there's something written about it, and the negativity
is
suffocating me slowly. For the last couple of days I have stopped visiting
movies and news online portals. It's like this fan club is the only place where
I can visit. Recently a tweet from a gentleman in Vishal's page pushed me to
the
brink. I even cried, man.He said something, which was beyond my imagination.
Quote, "pls ask him abt CWG anthem. Can he do any worse? Shameful". This made
me
think how ungrateful people can get. Keeping aside the fact that, ARR won 14
filmfare awards, four national awards, sold over 100 million records, won a
goldenglobe, a bafta and two Oscars; this is the man who redefined Indian film
music. He did good and much for the Indian film industry is the understatement
of the century. He made bollywood cool. Not only shaped the music of India, but
all new musicians or should I say, this new era of music in the whole south
asia
is solely influenced by Ar rahamn. I'm a Bangladeshi. Every new musician rises
in our country openly acknowledge ARR as their inspiration. I know so many
sri-lankans and Pakistani musicians living in USA, and every single one of them
said ARR is considered a musical god in their music industry. He's the most
recognized Indian world over. Sorry to say, even more than Sachin and shahrukh.
I lived in USA most of my life, honestly even before Oscars, everyone knew him
and respected him so much. And they still do. He has worked with western
symphony and orchestra way before anyone could think about it. Then how could a
man, a legend of his stature be dragged down so easily. The media fucked up we
all know that. Not only in India, but world-over , media creates controversy
for
their own profit. So this is understandable, but how could general people write
such things about rehman sir. How could they?
There are still tears in my eyes, while I'm writing this letter. I thought I
should share it with someone, and what this is the only place I felt
comfortable
doing it. Man we strive, to be like ARR. Young, talented musicians work hard
day
and night to achieve the musical excellence or reach even one fourth close to
it. This kind of reaction from the general mass and media is very discouraging.
Then what's the worth of working hard if people don't acknowledge your talent
or
effort. I know even ARR has his critiques, and always had. It's very normal to
dislike someone's work. It's a relative thing, but writing remarks like he
brought to this country is disgraceful and inexcusable. I will never forget the
people and the things they have said about sir. He's my god, I can't take it. I
don't see Lataji or Sachin ji getting ridiculed like this. ARR's contribution
is
not an inch less than them, it's actually more. It is very unfair. I don't get
it. Of he was born in Bnagladesh, he would have been considered as a national
hero, the biggest asset of the country, not a pop or musical icon that can be
loved or hated anytime. I'm extremely sorry for the way I'm reacting. But he's
beyond these things. I have no intention to hurt a yone, nwither I'm tryin to
prove any point. I'm just expressing my feelings to lighten myself up. I got
very emotional. I couldn't control myself and wrote this letter in the
spontaneity of the moment. I consider all the members here my brothers and
sisters. If you can't go to your friends, when our down, then who can you go
to,
right? Anyways I apologize once again, for writing this long, boring letter to
you all. I hope you all get the inner meaning that I wanted to convey, going
beyond the writings. Take care, bye
Shakib
A rahmaniac
