| hello Dr. Zeus, this is Raja Berry.
Sir did u hear my songs. Sir i sent four songs in four diffirent tones.
Sir i wanna attach with ur benner. Plz response me. Raja Berry. |
| Hey, Mr. Berry. Sorry for the
slow response -- things have been very busy at work this week. I did get your songs, and I like them very much! The style is not quite what I'm used to, but they're really fun. I'd love to hear some of your Bollywood songs, too! Can you send one or two? Sincerely, -Dr. Z PS. I don't know what my "benner" is. The only definition I could find on the interwebs was this: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=pulling%20a%20benner&defid=5738360 ("To take a unusually long shit, most likely brought on by an upcoming unpleasant task including but not restricted to hard work.") If you want to attach to that, I think this relationship is not what I was expecting. |
| hello Dr. Zeus, this is Raja Berry First of all, i would like to apologise for mis-spelling regarding the word '' benner'' in my last mail. Actually i was misguided regarding this word. This time i am sending yuo few boolywood type songs. in which i have tried to put my best. Hope you would like it.i am sending you the first couplet of the songs. if u like, i will send u complete songs. I tried my best in writing these songs, keeping your style in view. Last time i sent you a song ( bhangra pave ) this song also could be blockbuster song as such songs are in vogue these days. I record all the songs in my mobile. So the voice and intrument quility can not be good as you are fully aware of these facts.Sir i want sing in your studeo in your rock style music. Apna bna lo.wav |
| Wow, thanks for the new songs!
They're really great. I feel like I've been rude, though, in not
responding in kind to your generous sharing. To rectify that,
I've attached two of my own songs that I recorded a few years
back. They're not widely known, and I hope you haven't heard them
before. You can find a few more from this period on my website. Arachne.mp3 |
| Hi Dr Zeus, now i am sending two
punjabi songs.Sir i want attach with ur group. I need ur response. I
promise i will give u so superhit songs in future. i need ur
motivation. Raja Berry Dimond Ring.wav |
| Hello Dr. Zeus, how are you sir ?
First of all, so sorry for slow response, actually my mobile was not
working but now everything is OK. Sir i would so much thank you for complmenting my songs. As you told," you have established no studio in India, but take it for reality sir, i have a dire passion for singing in your studio somehow if possible. Writing & singing is my passion for me, not the lust. I wanna sing in your studio. In regards to the word "Benner" exactly it was "Survelliance". Respected Sir, now i am sending just one punjabi song. (TOUR NAAL ZINDGI JEON SOORME, AVEIN TA NI JAG TE SALAAMA HUNDIAN) Also Sir unluckily the songs sent by you are not responding even on my mobile and computer system. I took some experts help but with no positive result. could you plz guide us in this matter if there is any solution. Or plz resend these songs in MP3. I have cravings to see you whether it is through web cam or phone sir if you feel the same can we have a meeting like this and also if you feel comfortable can we have punjabi as the medium of communication as I am a bit hard up in english ? Sir plz do respond to this wish of mine. Raja Berry SOORME.wav |
| Hello, Mr. Beery! No worries
about the slow response -- I'm rather busy, too, with all of my various
projects. I'm glad to hear your mobile is working again. As to your English skillz, I think they're quite good! I'm especially impressed that you distinguished between "passion" and "lust" in regards to your feelings about music. That's a very subtle distinction! But now I'm even more curious about "benner": you said you meant "survelliance", but that would make your earlier statement "I wanna attach with ur survelliance". Are you saying you would like to be part of my surveillance team? I have no established surveillance infrastructure, though I admit to occasionally eavesdropping on other bus-riders or cafe-sitters. I'm very sorry to hear that my songs did not come through properly. Instead of email, perhaps try downloading them from my website. I've posted them at the following URLs: http://drze.us/Art/Music/Arachne.mp3 http://drze.us/Art/Music/malefactors.mp3 Let me know if that works for you. If not, we'll find some way to get them to you, I promise! Finally, I know you would really like to sing in my studio, but in truth I have no studio -- not in India or anywhere, unless you count my living room. So, please continue singing in your own living room, and sing proudly there! -Dr. Z |
| Sat sri Akal Dr. Zeus, sir its matters
little whether you have a sludio or not. I just want you to provide me
a chance, if you think i am worthy to sing under your guidance. As far as living room is concerned for last few years. It has been my permanent studio. But i want to change it as soon as possible and only you can help me for out because you are my favorite NRI music director, So i am sharing with you all this. Sir as you prepare your others songs and singers sing and you make the music, like that please give me a chance. Sir economically we are not strong like you. I request you sir please give me music to my songs with your blessings. I want began my career with your rock style music. I promise you that, i will attach with you my whole life. Sir which songs sent by you, unluckily its did not play like before. Plz resend songs with any other way. I want hear your songs sir. Raja Berry. |
| Sorry to hear that the songs didn't
come through again. Perhaps let's try different songs instead. These two are from the same sessions as the previous ones. They're not my favorites from that period, but perhaps you'll at least be able to hear them: strengths.mp3 |
| hi Dr. Z, NRI mean NON RESIDENSE IN
INDIA |
| hello Dr. Zeus, I want to say that
other singers to mean that you did the work with many singers and make
the music of many songs like Rakesh (Kangna), Lehmber hussainpuri

Babe da na le ke waheguru keh ke, tera te mera rishta rooha rooha da
hove, kite mili ta zroor dasyo). So i said to you for this. But its ok sir, I do not compell you, I can understood you sir. But respected sir just help me in this way that plz do the recommend to music director DJ SANJ for me. Becouse i read in your website for DJ SANJ, please contact to him and tell him for me.
