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 -- ----------------------------------- http://roshanravi.com http://cssheaven.org
