A fine article gone awry by needless comments which divert our attention. All good writers, including Mr. S. Ramachandran, should continue to contribute to the website with their comments. articles and other write-ups. Comments, both negetive and positive keep coming and one should be too sentimental about them. Some like it and some do not like it - but then the world is made up of all kinds of people is it not ?? asmurty2@rediffmail.com

Mr Guru Murty you have penned your views very nicely . You are so simple in your views. I am sure its all the influence of our most beloved Rafi sahab upon you Murty garu. Real and true fans of Rafi sahab are always simple, sober. Its Rafi sahab’s family and lets make it big, bigger and the biggest as he taught us what melody is !!!

Well, we Rafi lovers grew up listening to his songs, discussed with freinds about his songs, saw movies with his songs, dreamt with his songs, in short enjoyed our life with his songs. If today, we are able to contribute to the web site with articles or commnets on articles written by others, it is purely as part of our happiness of sharing with fellow Rafi fans about his greatness both as a singer as well as human being. In our personal life, we hardly comke across people who are equally interested in our views, for example appreciation filmy music, Rafiji, etc. We have got an outlet now in the form of this website. What we are not able to share in our personal life, we are able to share with others here, i.e. discuss Rafi Sahab’s songs. In fact, we should welcome contribution of all people in this website, as it gives us an oppertunity to know more about our Rafi Sahab as well as to share our views with others, which perhaps we are not getting outside. My only request to all the contributors is that we should not use derogatory remarks against any Singers / MDs, etc. as well as against other Rafi Fans and try to appreciate others view points. When Rafi & KK were good friends, I fail to understand why their Fans should fight?.

There are many hyper people and many more with different character-
istics… One will meet different kinds of people everywhere..in an
organisation and rafi lovers forum its no different..
A true rafi lover is one who will put his head down and get along
and get ahead of others with his works for the rafi cause and not spent
their time criticising others or advising others; to put it very mildly.
Please do not waste ur precious time in unproductive ways..give some
thing for the cause…

I hope my friends understand this and learn a few things from
Mohd Rafi saabs life itself.

Ref: Post 44
Mr. Ramachandran,
Pl do not be hurt by Mr. Ramkrishna’s response. What actually he and many other probably meant that, a man of your knowledge of Rafi Sahab and in such an eminent position can give a great impetus by your active participation in Rafi Foundation activities, unlike we people who keep on running from pillar to post with nothing but passion in our heart. I fervently hope that you take this in the right spirit.
But, i fail to fathom about one thing when you wrote that you normally write only on 31st July. While the privilege of writing when and why is totally yours, i feel such knowledgeable people like you should write often and enlighten about music in general and Rafi Sahab in particular almost everyday.
I hope you will heed to our request.

Ramakrishna Garu You are a very passionate pujari of Rafisaab like many others
but kindly be polite in ur post as Ramachandran sir has written the article in good faith and we all together should work as a team for the glory of treasures left by our greatest music maestro Rafi saab.
We all know that from Hyd lots of good news is going to come on the foundatn.
Ram sir do not get hurt as the passionate voice of a big fan has spoken in the right earnest and no individual criticism was meant.

Dear Mr. Ramakrishna,
I just happened to see your response and I am pained by your allegations.
May I please inform you that it is only with sincere attempts to bring back good memories and how deeply we all mourn the demise of the greatest legend, that the articles are published. Your comments are extremely derogatory and baseless. I am forced to reply to your response as otherwise I do not choose to write other than on the day of 31st July. I am sure all the fans of Rafi would agree with me that we do not write articles here merely with the expecation of praises and wah wah from others as you have proclaimed. I would appreciate if this is understood and taken in the right perspective.
With best regards
Ramachandran

Mr Ramachhandran why do you put the job on others to start and do some thing for Rafi sahab? Its not just enough to scrible about Rafi sahab and get a good number of comments. You your self should take some initiative and start doing some thing. Just dont expect that you will be writing some sacharine regarding Rafi sahab & get wah wah from the people around.
We know what rafi sahab is. Do some thing creative & positive in stead of giving some statistics….. For God’s sake stop these emotions. You know Rafi sahab was a very simple person. Had he been alive he would not have encouraged it. Its just being hypocrytic Mr ramachandran.
