Rahman not meant for ringtones!

I am writing this after being painfully prevented from listening to a Rahman song fully for longer than I could bear. I am not begging the readers to buy me an Ipod. I am just asking you to patiently read on what follows.

We all know that mobile phones have transformed from a status symbol to a bare necessity. No complaints about that! And we also know that, despite the growth in mobile phone consumers, the mobile phone etiquette is lagging far behind. It is not about that too. It is about the ring tones that jolt people around more than the owner, as planned by the manufacturer. I am addressing only a part of the bigger issue. All social workers and responsible intellectuals excuse me for blowing matters out of proportion. I am a sincere advocate of no Rahman compositions for ring tones. The reason is simple. All compositions of his are divine and enchanting. These mobile phone buggers totally disregard the surrounding listeners/fan and just cut it short by picking the call. Worse of the lot are those who have missed-call friends, who cut the call short from the other end and mind you they dont stop it with one attempt!! By laws of freedom in any politically free country, using ones belongings is ones own wish. I respect this, and agree with them till this point. My humble request, is “please change the damn ringtone!”

I am circumspect about the reach of my blog and the credibility people associate with it. So, I plan the first phase of this movement to have a humble beginning here. At the next phase I ‘ll coerce some friends to put a lot of links and references to increase popularity. I hope all Rahmaniacs unite!

P.S:  This movement only aims at misuse of Rahman ringtones, as perceived by the author and other like-minded people. Mobile users can continue downloading tones (legally), and listening to it whenever they feel like.

P.P.S: All readers can choose to take this blog lightly and have a laugh at the author’s obsession. But please keep away from Rahman for ringtones.
