i am diehard fan of mohammad rafi. i want to comment on one thing in the website that there is too many negative reactions of the fans itself, due to that i want to send some photos which i have another thought whether i wish to send it or no. Mohdrafi website is very good and remarkably made. but there is some things we should take it very seriously is the comments. the comments should not be approved against any fans which can get negative thoughts in their minds. I feel good things we should think.

i find the recent spate of comments on one another by rafi-lovers is not in the good taste at all. friends, we are hear to express our opinion on rafi sahab primarily and on his qualities, his singing style, his magnanimous approach towards all in the film industry and outside, etc. we should all learn from his virtues in the first place to be eligible to be called as ‘rafians’. we are all from that section of our society which has gained a lot knowing rafi sahab from the closest quarters. various masterpieces of articles have been posted on these pages and much more qualitative comments and views have been expressed by very learned ‘rafians’ and music lovers alike. we should consider ourselves as very lucky to be from that section which boasts of the highest standards of civil society and take to newer heights by our farsightedness, clean approach and impeccable behaviour, both off the website and on it. our behaviour is the true reflection of our character and we alone are responsible for carrying it in esteem. our actions speak more than seem to do for now. good comments, not necessarily praising one another, will spread as much fragrance and will remain fresh ever. on the contrary negative comments will cause readers to scorn. we may be impulsive and post comments in a rush of blood. the so called anger or irritation will vanish in a couple of weeks time, but the mudslinging done under its influence will remain on these pages for a long long time. any amount of repentance or penance at a later date will not wash away these words of bad blood. every one of us has a point of view on almost anything said or done. yes we are free to express them too. we must confine ourselves to a self drawn boundary of decency beyond which one must not transgress. many good rafians are doing a lot of good work. they do it out of their passion for rafi sahab. they would not be able to gain anything substantial except goodwill from co-rafians and other music lovers. if we cannot appreciate their point of view it is still ok. we can simply ignore their deeds. if we like their kind of words, we can post our appreciation or even then keep silent. let us continue to be inspired by rafi sahab’s ideals and his songs, is it not ?? “nazar woh jo dushman pe bhi meherbaan ho, zubaan jo muhobbat ki daastaan ho” should be the dictum to follow. rafi-fans should be graded as the most cultured group and we should be the envy of the others by our spotless behaviour, knowledgeable write-ups and well researched commentary. there are thousands of groups on the website that indulge in all kinds of indecent chatting and e-exchange of views. for us that is a distant world we do not want to travel to. we have only one object and one subject - which is rafi sahab. if we cannot adhere to basic and cultured norms, why be on these pages at all ?? i have no business to give any advise and hence only post my views as they come to mind. as soon as i get tired of these ‘war of words comments’, i prefer to browse through other topics available on this website and get solace from what i read. still better, i do not post any comment of my own if a subject is drifting away from either the article in question or is dropping to personal levels. i prefer to stick to the essence of the articles and the related matters only. i am sure this will be the order for most of us and this will enhance the quality of our activities on this website.

I request Shirishji as a friend can u contribute any article/photo which u have collected from your side coz we have discussed and also someone have given the comment on this basis that in dharwad there is a procession of rafisahab for his death anniversary. Have u done anythng about it. I am from Dharwad, but can u contribute somethng about in this site so the rafian fans can know detailly from u. So, the comments u have given is very easy, but try to contribute for this great legend and then see how much u will be happy that we respect so much for this legend. Plz. dont write any article which u have not seen clearly in this site and also dont say anything to the administrator about it. whtever he have done it is correct and for a long time i was just thnking and also shared with my friends and a close friend from goa. You are not the one of rafian fan we all are there. So, contribute something for this great legend. We fans will wait for ur contribution now. In future dont comment/insult any rafian fans before knowing anythng where millions of fans contribute somethng tomorrow. I will be happy for this if u can send some photos/articles which u have collected not from others. ok. thanks.

Post 30 re : shashank ji are u confused????? vikas ji wrote not
about rafi foundation which is growing in leaps and bounds. i am in
touch soulfully with vikas ji and he was writing about another
organisation - not rafi foundation. this organisation “flaunted” their
photographs and forgot about rafi ji.

besides please note that i am getting “immune” to trifles and my
mission is more important. I hope u get it.

Ur verbal apologies are accepted and we are meeting on the 12th
shashank ji….

Dont misunderstand me Binuji, Shirishji for this kind of issues. I have wrote a letter to the administrator to delete my photo from the site. its clear that this website is a parent site of rafisahab. So, i dont want any issues from that Binuji. I respect, but it does not mean that i should be pointed out for no reason. Plz. read wht Mr.Vikasji wrote to u and Plz. just clear it wht other fans needed from this site. Shashank is not one of them, i love and like ths sites and programes, but i contribute from my kind heart. But we should not mix rafisahab’s photo with our programme photos thats all. Its clear indication for all the fans. And Pradeepji i thanks for the rafian fans request. This is the fact, why coz Binuji i write good comments and i am positively thnking for this and i will support the foundation and site also. Just thnk from the other rafian fans also. I request Binuji and shirishji that this parent site should have 2 sections of photo gallery and nothing wrong has been done by me or the administrator. Just thnk from rafifoundation also, i will contribute whtever i have. So, dont feel bad wht i have written. Just read wht Mr.Vikasji or others written to u. I also felt bad when somebody write somethng to u. I respect and support u/sites also.

Knowing Shashank personally, i was a bit disappointed with his letter. He was present during that programme. He knows all the photos were of singers who performed that day. The other photo was that of presentation of Rafi Sahab’s portrait, which is displayed quite prominently. Then where is the scope for any grouse?. I also feel that the administrator acted in haste in removing all the photograps of the programme based on a flimsy request.
