I tried JA songs many times, but its not working for me.
May be i'm not qualified to understand his new standards.I also 
failed to understand the greatness of "Ek lo ek muft" from Guru.

BTW...i'm eagerly waiting for 3 AR albums, I think this talented 
(young) directors will bring back my fav "ar rahman".

1.Abbas Tyrewala - Jaane tu ya jane na 
2.Gautham Menon - Chennaiyil oru mazhaikalam
3.A.R Murugadoss - Ghajini Hindi

2008-01-26 Thread Vithur
a small request  This group consists of people who just love ARR and his
works... if you do not like any of ARR songs... Pls do not post it in the
groups. as it may disturb other people, though you have all the freedom to
speak out your views, but that will trigger hard feelings and it goes on and
on

Just a suggestion ...
