niyu (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:22 IST)
Hi, is it Shankar Mahadevan?
Indian (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:25 IST)
Fellows .. the ONLY person here with the name in BOLD is the real thing .. all others are fakes!
ani (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:28 IST)
SM: I have heard ur 'Breathless' piece. It's great. How long did u take to record that? How many takes and retakes?
Satya Rao (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:30 IST)
To verify your identity, Shankar, can you tell me the name of the institute that you did your 8th semester project work in and what was it about ?
rameshb (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:30 IST)
Hi Shankar! First of all, congrats on your grand entry in to Tamil film music. You have shown some awesome skills in your potential to modulate your voice to two different genres of TFM -- Tamil folk (Sittu parakkuthu kuththalathil) and qawwali like melody (Varaaga nathikkarai oram). What is your motivation behind these?
niyu (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:30 IST)
Hi Shankarji, pls answer me... So which is ur new album. I liked your Breathless very much.
RAHUL (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:30 IST)
Hello Shankar Mahadevan sir, I really loved your album Breathless. Specially the Breathless song. My question is how long did it take you to sing this song perfectly??
Satya Rao (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:32 IST)
Hey Shanky, it is me. Good to talk to you.
niyu (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:33 IST)
Shankarji, how r u?
mog (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:34 IST)
Yo??
Neha M (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:34 IST)
Hello Mr Shankar, I am waiting breathlessly for another of your music videos from 'Breathless'... What happened?
mog (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:36 IST)
If you don't answer my question, I shall make sure you get a (driving UTI) ticket in Copenhagen next time, capish?
niyu (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:36 IST)
Hello Shankar, I just want to ask u how much time u took to do that Breathless song. Did u actually do it? It was excellent
windsor (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:42 IST)
Hey Shankar, I'm learning Carnatic music. I want to know that if one practises nicely then can he also sing 'Breathless' or is there any special training required?
silvermoon (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:44 IST)
Hi Shankar... In this day and age where anybody can become a singer, how different are you from the rest of the pop singers?
Mudit (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:44 IST)
Hello again! I really don't know if my question deals with the same question that Indian asked but I am still asking it. Did you sing the song 'Breathless' in a double voice?? I really don't know what they call it in musical language, but it's when you sing once and you have to sing it again on top of that because there are some errors??
mog (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:44 IST)
Mudit... chillaaata kahe ko hai bhai??
simran (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:45 IST)
Hi there Shankar!
Mudit (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:46 IST)
Sorry yaar mog
Indian (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:46 IST)
Mudit: Methinks you are talking about overdubbing ..
Mudit (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:46 IST)
Ya, I think so Indian
mog (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:47 IST)
Boss, you have made my day! You are welcome to the lyrics, I laxate weloquently (as a Punj married to a southie, you see?) when I am like this only, often. Thank you, thank you and next time you are in Delhi on teevee I shall catch you at Archana . . .
mahadevan (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:47 IST)
Indian: You are right. Nusrat Fateh Ali was eminently suited to sing on the local trains :)
simran (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:47 IST)
HI SHANKAR. I WAS THERE 4 THE CHANNEL V LIVE LAST MONTH AND I WANNA TELL U THAT U WERE REALLY GREAT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Neha M (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:48 IST)
Hi again, Shankar, please tell us when can we get to see another video from your album 'Breathless'?
ismail (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:49 IST)
Yeah, Shankar bhai, like Neha said, when will we get to see another video from 'Breathless'?
simran (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:49 IST)

rajagopalan (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:51 IST)
Shankar Mahadevan , this is Rajagopalan, a fan of yours, as you hold your breath and sing, for three minutes. Do you have any programme of coming to Delhi? In case you do, will you inform me my phone number is 011-2715667. I'll put more questions after you answer this.
windsor (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:52 IST)

Windsor: The chap worked for ORACLE !!!!!!!!!!!
Indian (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:56 IST)
Shankar Mahadevan: Some personal info pls. How old are you? What qualifications do you have (non musical as well as musical)? Are you married? If so, for how long and any kids? If not, any sweethearts waiting in the wings? Are you from Mumbai? *a curious fan*
mahadevan (Tue Jul 6 1999 6:57 IST)

ismail (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:5 IST)
Shankar Bhai, I sure will buy it, and a number of my friends will buy it, at least in Minnesota.
mogmog (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:7 IST)
Indian: basal=no such word in Collins!!!
Satya Rao (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:7 IST)
It's good to note that you are avoiding all personal questions to do with your family. Just keep it that way.
Neha M (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:7 IST)
Helloooooooo? Please answer me

Pravin (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:10 IST)
Congragulations! Hum Dil De Chuke Sanam (umphh) was marvellous (Man mohini, especially)! Shankarji, is there any plan for making fusion music with Shivamani? Any classical album in near future? Any latest happenings with A R Rahman?
Indian (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:11 IST)
Sapna... he does know Tamil... he is Tamil
sapna (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:11 IST)
Eppadi erukenga?
mogmog (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:13 IST)
Dear Shankar, since you seem to have such a large constituency here already, why don't you get into Tamil politics????
Indian (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:13 IST)
Appaa .. sema Tamizh gumbal a irrukke inge!
mogmog (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:14 IST)
Also, is it true that after he heard you singing, Anu Malik has opened a Xerox shop??
Indian (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:14 IST)
mogmog... LOL@xerox shop!
windsor (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:14 IST)
Shankar anna, neengha yaen badhil kuduka marrukuringa

U really have a superb voice and should continue enchanting people with it
Indian (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:15 IST)
Headline in Screen: Anu Malik rescued by Shankar Mahadevan!
mogmog (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:17 IST)
Hey! Whaddyou know!! There's an invisible Tamilian in our midst!!! Could it be, no, Jayalalitha??
Mudit (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:18 IST)
Hello again: What can we see from you in the future??
finny (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:18 IST)

Indian (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:18 IST)
Mogmog... err... JJ would take up oodles of space... even if she were invisible...
mogmog (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:19 IST)
Is it true, as per rumours originating from Khalsa College, Chandigarh, that you will do a duet with Jaspal Bhatti??
mahadevan (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:20 IST)
Hey! Stop being diplomatic about these things. I know it's different. Any mug can hear that. What do you think of the experiment? Does it signify a trend of classical musicians turning to pop?
mogmog (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:20 IST)
Dear Shankar Mahadevan, please forgive me, I am absolutely desolate. B4 the show I was three of you in one, so answer this one please. If you use my verse for better or worse in your next album, how will you know it is me if I was you 3?
Mudit (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:20 IST)
Mr Shankar Mahadevan, why is it so that when top singers like you, or any other great singer sings on the stage, they sound terrible and when they are in the recording studio they sound pretty ok???
sapna (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:21 IST)
Shankar, are u coming to Madras?
popmaniac (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:21 IST)
Shankar, if A R R or Deva give you a chance to sing Koli (Marathi) in Tamil, would you sing?
ismail (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:28 IST)
Shankar Bhai, is it true that Javed Akhtar's children concocted the video for Breathless? Did you have a say in what you wanted the video to be like? Also how does a singer keep up with the changing generations?
sesha (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:30 IST)
Your comments on A R R
ismail (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:30 IST)
Shankar bhai, relating to what you said to Satya Rao, how does that make you feel that traditional music is being overpowered with the masked "music" of the West?
Mudit (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:31 IST)
Ok Shankar Mahadevan: It's time for me to say goodbye. I hope you are really successful and you keep on getting good and efficient projects! BYE!
M neha (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:31 IST)
Thanx! That's great news. All the best! And this one is for the original MAHADEVAN, not the wannabe mahadevan.
dinesh bharadwaj (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:34 IST)
Any chance of meeting you personally in Bangalore in the near future?
mahadeva (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:35 IST)
Thanks, Shankar, gotta go now. Bye and all the best. Do remember about the Fine Arts Hall :)
Satya Rao (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:36 IST)
Some of the finest music I have heard was in the mehfils at Chembur. Young, vibrant and extremely knowledgeable musicians all under one roof. Do you still have these mehfils ?
bluuzeji (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:47 IST)
Shankar, we placed the voice and soaked it in delay and reverb just the way u like it
alwaysme (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:48 IST)
Shankar sir, what do think of New Age Music?
asha (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:48 IST)
Shankar, can you tell me the place you are originally from?
RAJIV (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:49 IST)
HELLO MR MAHADEVAN, I am presently making my debut album called 'Jamke.' Will you give me some tips on it???
ismail (Tue Jul 6 1999 7:50 IST)
Angoor was one of the funniest movies I've seen. Sanjeev Kumar... that's all I have to say
