Hello ARR.

First of all, I saw the movie Million Dollar Arm yesterday and loved it absolutely. Being an Indian, this was an inspirational movie for me and will go into my all time favorites. Thanks for the score - so peppy and fitting the story. Was so proud to hear the old Tamil track play at the end in the theatre. I stood all the while till the song lasted, cos I thought it was disgraceful to walk out while it was playing. Only I was there at the end in the theatre.

Three questions to you if I may.

1. I heard your place in LA was vandalized (I'm in LA too). Hope things are ok now. Any details?
2. Why do you repeat first two words in most of your hits? (Ex: Urvashi Urvashi, Chaiyya Chaiyya etc?) What is the name of this type of pattern called if any?
3. I wish I could hear all your songs in studio quality. Online streaming CDs are just not doing justice to your songs I feel. Is there a way I can buy studio quality songs so I can play it on my Bose 5.1 home theater at home? (Especially old songs)

I love you. You are truly an inspiration for me. First the quality of your work. Every song of yours is like a painting. I study its texture and colors even though I don't have any base in music, apart form listening a lot. Second, the part where you stay humble even at the heights of success. I wish I can also one day succeed like you and stay humble and respectful for every other living being in this world.

God bless - Lots of love and prayers.

எல்லா புகழும் இரவைனுக்கே. (All praise to the God almighty!)

Also, ARR, Which are the most used music related apps on your phone/tab right now?

Do you have a favorite raga that you tend to favor or do compose to fit the situation? - Great question.

Funny thing is sometimes you go for the recommendation, and then get declined quoting not enough credit score. I've had it happen twice with me. :(

Thank you sir. Looking forward to it. :)
