Hi guys,
I am going to india soon.If you want to show your disapproval against ARR's plagiarism please do reply to this new thread which I will eventually print and give it to ARR personally so that he realises that people are not dumb and listen to his fancy copying of music from abroad and boast himself as a musician.
Even his latest much talked "Vande matram" has one songs which has direct lift of a tune from Madonna's latest "FROZEN".
I don't know how he thinks that he can get away with these fancy copying.I think it is time for us to show him that we are not dumb.

  AT,
  What has one's profession got to do with interest in music ? They dont have to be mutually exclusive. BTW, software is a very creative profession. And I dont go around telling people my program quality is bad because I had to write so many lines of code.
  I have to agree about the quality and quantity of talent available. Looking at the amount of recycled/copied tunes in tamil songs these days makes me think people do not want to listen seriously at all. Or they have loose sense of ethics that they turn a blind eye to plagiarism. I think we are becoming a lazy lot (if not already).

  Well the last time I opened this page I was suprised on how many people were talking on such a baseless argument...but now it seems..that it has worked to the better for ARR that his terrific effort put into every song is being realized. Carry on guys with praises for ARR....Thanx Balaji ..anyway!!

  Balaji:
  
  This is a baseless argument, I feel. But amazed over the personal clout you enjoy right from IR to ARR. Or else how could you meet IR, ARR, Kollangudi Karupayee etc whenever you go to India? I am amazed.
  
  My humble suggestion to you for your next visit to India would be to personally meet IR and ask him to score some good albums just the way he did in 70s and 80s. This would be a constructive thought for you.
  
  Do not bash ARR, as that would be frowned upon by newcomers to the TFM. (A humble advice)
  
  Happy Diwali to all of you.

  Dear TFM surfers,
  Somebody is using my name to post their comments in various threads under ananymizer.com domain/server, as I wrote in one of the threads in a reply to bb, my original name is Pinchi Srinivasn, I just tried once to test the postings coming out of this anonymizer server , just out of curiosity as lot of the surfers were using it also i never concealed my orinal name , in fact bb was posed me a question also asking me if indeed pinchi srinivasan is my original name, the answer is yes, I am a physician, A die hard fan of IR absolutely no doubt about that, I do like MSV's music and ARR's music , I am a sort of irregularly regular surfer to this forum, because of my time constraints though I like to spend more time, my statements are never intended to hurt anybody's feelings, so who ever is trying to use my name , I personally suggest there are zillions of names and pseudonyms to post your comments in this forum,if you guys/gals are too ashamed /cowardice to use your original names, and do not attempt to malign other surfers good intentions here,
  
  Dear Mr.Duplicate, (who ever has used my name in this and other threads)
  
  "Do not bash ARR, as that would be frowned upon by newcomers to the TFM. (A humble advice)"

  Dr.Pinchi Srinivasan:
  
  Why are you trying to create a confusion by coming in some NewYork Domain? In fact I am the real Pinchi Srinivasan. Please go and check all my previous postings. All of them would be from anonymizer domains only. I choose to reveal my name but not the IP address. That is where you "Duplicate Dr.Pinchi" has exposed yourselves.
  
  Anyway, I am a software engineer at the Silicon Valley. Yes! My true name is Pinchi Srinivasan, but I choose to come in anonymizer.com only.
  
  I am a seasoned TFM Surfer and do not wish to criticize or bash fellow TFM surfers. I love IRs music and I take this opportunity in wishing all of you A HAPPY DIWALI!!
  
  Dear Duplicate Dr.Pinchi Srinivasan:
  
  If I am the "duplicate", can you prove it? Please do not use my name and try to select zillions of names and pseudonyms to post your comments in this forum,if you guys/gals are too ashamed /cowardice to use your original names, and do not attempt to malign other surfers good intentions here. Happy Diwali to you too.

  Come on all psudo pinchis, it is with pinch of salt I have to say that some thing is going wrong for last couple of days. Some people are really using my name to spoil my reputation. I am not a so called Dr or software engineer , I am Pinchi Srinivasan from Houston Texas. I love Ilayaraja music very much, now and then I used to visit TFM and request some songs, thats all. I kindly request all the false pinchis not use my name anymore.

  I received a print out copy from you by mail which you would have mailed on your recent India trip I believe, Thanks for your interest and sorry I was not in town and I got the message you came to see me. I would like to say if tamilians are not dumb, My music will not be doing so good in each and every house not only in TamilNadu but through out India. So your point is totally baseless. I never copy tunes from abroad, I just try to remix them and give it on my own way, which each and every fans through out the world are enjoying, so please don't try to send any more letters like this in future. If you don't like my music you be not only dumb but close your ears also.

  Dear Doctor doctor, adenna MPD ? , I know there is MDP (Maniac Depressive Psychosis), and if this is the diagnosis you are giving to the other duplicates , then the TFM administrators better be careful , Big Boss (bb) enge poyittenga, Deepavali saappadu romba asathala? Guys, Happy Diwali to all I really didn't want to continue posting on this thread, but the whole ridiculous issue about who is the original pinchi has really become more funny and I know every body who is trying to post a comment with the same name is just having more fun also I guess, I am more surprised at the discussion in the thread diverted towards the true identity of Pinchi Srinivasan , (People who are really interested to know can write to me at the e mail ID provided )In a way I am kind of amused at my Surname Pinchi which is short for Pinchivaakkam (The former govardanagiri of Madras,near AAvadi) appearing in the TMFDF so many times, Pinchi Srinivasan, MD

  Dr.Doctor; Pinchi Srinivasan et al; Iam sure all of you are having tremendous amount of fun. It is high time that I reveal my identity because all and sundry are claiming themselves as the TRUE PINCHIs.....
  
  First of all, for other PINCHIs, I wish to give a same PINCH because all of you claim yourselves as PINCHIS. I am the true Pinchi Srinivasan. My uncle is Panchu Arunachalam, a great Film Director. Under his inspiration I had my name as Panchu Srinivasan. However after coming to the US, I had to change my name to PINCHI as it sounded better. I am not a Software Engineer, Doctor, Lawyer or any of the other duplicate Pinchis claim. I am a 100% true Research Scientist working at a place called KUKOMA in INDIANA State. From now onwards,I am not going to use any anonymizer.com as many people are misusing it.
  
  So here you go guys. I am boldly giving my IP address and I am the true PINCHI. If you still have doubts, you can contact me through the email address given.
  Happy Diwali to all of you and to the Special Duplicate Pinchis....too

  All of you please stop bashing AR Rehman. Without him, our FEFSI feels that there is no Tamil Film Music. Please refrain from bashing a great MD.

  Just because one reveals the IP address he can not become the real Pinchi Srinivasan. I will still continue to be an anonymizer as I used to be always. My actual name is Pinchi Srinivasulu . Mr.Panchu Srinivasan and other Mr.Pinchi Srinivasan from Newyork, you may be very much influenced by my name, Very good but add some initials to your name to avoid confusion with the identity. Let me confirm once again I am real Pinchi Srinivasan and lets bring a full stop to the whole issue.

  Next time when you go to India can you do me an help? I will hand over a letter for our Thenisai Thendral Deva Sir. Could you kindly meet him by person and hand over my letter. I am very much interested to know when our TTD sir is releasing his symphony. This is my humble request since you are very capable of meeting people like IR and ARR, I hope you will be able to meet TTD Sir also. Kindly let me know if you are willing to do this help.

  Guys, guys ! There is a thread called "dhjkls..." or "Humorous side of TFM". I invite the Three Pinchis (I think that's the count so far !) to prove their identities there. Devathi Deva can also write his/her letter there. The whole thread can then be printed out and sent by fax to Deva !
  
  Dear Pinchi Srinivasan from @ dialup-209.244.101.160.newyork2.level3.net):
  
  MPD is Multiple Personality Disorder, also called Disassociative Identity Disorder (DID). http://www.multiple-personality.com/ seems to be a good site to find out more about it. I am sure you will agree that my diagnosis was not far off the mark, given the symptoms ;-) NOM !
  
  
• From: Srinath (@ mail.startec.net) on: Mon Nov 8 09:58:23 EST 1999
  
  Thinking about it, MPD, to put it simply, is where one person who thinks he/she is several people. This case seems to be a strange inversion where three people think they are one and the same !!! :-)))

  Dear Srinath a.k.a Dr.Doctor (@ mail.startec.net),
  LOOKS LIKE YOU ARE ONE OF THE FEW PEOPLE WITH THAT DISORDER WHAT EVER U HAVE GIVEN LINK, BUT AS A TRUE PSYCHIATRIST I know DSM-IV criteria for international classificatin of psychiatric disorders and codes, the MPD is not a standard diagnosis, it can be a feature of some psychiatric disoder but not by itself, however MDP is one of the standard diagnoses as said by another patient in this thread
  look in this link"http://mentalhelp.net/disorders/dsmcodes.htm"
  
  If u are really a doctor, please never ever think of treating these above mentioned duplicates
