Nikhil Lakshman (Wed Aug 21 20:18:27 1996 IST):

Hi folks, this is Nikhil Lakshman, editor, rediff On The NeT, welcoming all of you to the Chat tonight with the pop star Anaida. The lady is next door. We also have a Channel [V] crew recording the evtn for Asia's leading music channel. It should be a lot of fun. Thank you, Anaida, for being with us tonight. I hope you will enjoy this experience. Have fun!


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:20:53 1996 IST):

Hi everyone! This is Anaida and I'm live on the Net. Make sure I stay alive!


SNAP (Wed Aug 21 20:21:04 1996 IST):

Hi.. Anaida..Do you think India will ever win an Grammy?


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:21:37 1996 IST):

Anaida is a greek mythological character who had beauty and brains (with no claim on my side).


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:22:20 1996 IST):

Snap: I'm sure gonna try for one.


SNAP (Wed Aug 21 20:23:16 1996 IST):

Anaida.. Don't you think that Indians are overdoing the rap and Bhangra?


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:23:51 1996 IST):

Hey have you heard all of Nazuk Nazuk?

Which song would you like to see next as the video??


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:24:17 1996 IST):

Snap: Not yet.


C Berry (Wed Aug 21 20:24:24 1996 IST):

Hi. This is Chuck here. You know the grandpa of old rock n roll. Why do you girls have to act like clone of my good friend Madonna Ciccone? I can't make the difference between Alisha, Jasmine and you Anaida. All so cute, and ah, all so sexy.


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:26:10 1996 IST):

C Berry: My name is A- N-A-I-DA. that's a litle difference . And I don't have an album called Madonna and I promise to try not to be sexy.


SNAP (Wed Aug 21 20:26:42 1996 IST):

Anaida.. one more time.. do you think the International audience appreciates so much Rap? please not a one-line answer....:-)


Atul (Wed Aug 21 20:26:45 1996 IST):

Hi Anaida. How are you?


C Berry (Wed Aug 21 20:26:48 1996 IST):

How much greenbacks have you totted up so far?And this is a piece of advice for you. Better stick to the cash, baby, like a leech to mah feet in Alabama. I should know. They slipped out of mah fingers all at once.


Tai (Wed Aug 21 20:27:21 1996 IST):

Hey, I don't think Chuck was COMPLAINING about the sexy bit :-)


C Berry (Wed Aug 21 20:27:39 1996 IST):

Sure, I know how your name is spelt. But hell, all you girls look alike and sing alike. No dum, as my pal Freddie use to say.


Atul (Wed Aug 21 20:28:06 1996 IST):

You've used computer animation for one of your numbers. How did that idea come about?


C Berry (Wed Aug 21 20:28:41 1996 IST):

No man, Tai, I am complaining. I think these girls should try and be different. The way they are now, they won't last more than five seasons at best. Wanna bet?


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:29:33 1996 IST):

C Berry: Are you with the tax dept?

Atul: Fine thank you

Snap: The rap songs that have the 'C' missing from the beginning are quite fine. I'm not so fond of rap but all around the world its got the highest sales .


Tai (Wed Aug 21 20:29:59 1996 IST):

Probably, Chuck. Its kind of plastic.


SNAP (Wed Aug 21 20:31:21 1996 IST):

Thanks Anaida.. So which is your next album we should looking forward to?


Atul (Wed Aug 21 20:31:44 1996 IST):

Hey Anaida, are you still there?


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:32:22 1996 IST):

Atul: I have always ben in love with Bugs Bunny I'm hoping somebody gives me a starring role opposite him! Seriuolsy I wanted to do something to make India proud. A classy video was what we did.

CBerryt: Okay . I'm gonna 'Chuck it all up' and go back to being a pilot.


Tai (Wed Aug 21 20:32:25 1996 IST):

Anaida, have you ever thought of taking up the more unusual look, music, etc? Who decides?


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:33:16 1996 IST):

Snap: Something in ARabic. But I don't know if that would interest you.


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:34:10 1996 IST):

Tai: Yes I have. And in time I will. But the music company has a say in everything I do. So they have to agree to my unusual choices.


Baiju Paul Mathews (Wed Aug 21 20:35:14 1996 IST):

Hi Anaida, You use a lost of computer stuff in your Videos. Do you have an E-Mail account. If yes, Tell me privately ;-)


Robert Zimmermann (Wed Aug 21 20:35:24 1996 IST):

Do you think Indian pop has come of age? If so, why?


Tai (Wed Aug 21 20:35:55 1996 IST):

Anaida, like what, for example?


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:36:05 1996 IST):

Baiju: No, I don't have one yet.


Atul (Wed Aug 21 20:36:05 1996 IST):

Anaida, which is your favorite number from your latest album? Why?


SNAP (Wed Aug 21 20:36:06 1996 IST):

Anaida.. Why Arabic? Are you one?


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:37:00 1996 IST):

Robert: No I think it's still in the pram.


rishi (Wed Aug 21 20:37:39 1996 IST):

Anaida, why the .... do Indians plagiarise so goddamn much from the west? and in everything, our music, video albums, singing styles, especially the new lot of pop? did originality walk leave india?


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:38:02 1996 IST):

Tai: Can't say more about it right now, but it definitely won't be in Thai. And I promise not to disappoint you.


Banjo (Wed Aug 21 20:38:26 1996 IST):

Anaida, how did your latest album sell? Do you think you really are upto the mark?


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:38:52 1996 IST):

Atul: Hilori. I think it's very pleasant.


rishi (Wed Aug 21 20:39:13 1996 IST):

anaida, what on earth does your name mean? or is it not an earthly name in the first place?


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:39:29 1996 IST):

Snap: No, I'm not. But I speak the language and I freak on their music.


rishi (Wed Aug 21 20:39:55 1996 IST):

anaida, what on earth does your name mean? or is it not an earthly name in the first place?


Atul (Wed Aug 21 20:40:06 1996 IST):

How did you like acting with Atul Agnihotri (that's me by the way!)


Baiju Paul Mathews (Wed Aug 21 20:40:45 1996 IST):

Hey Anaida, What is your age? Frankly you look young


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:40:55 1996 IST):

Rishi: I agree with you. I'm a foreigner and I find everything Indian a novelty. And I think things are improving anyway.


Tone Deaf (Wed Aug 21 20:41:38 1996 IST):

Anaida, yo! Ever considered Hindi playback singing?


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:41:47 1996 IST):

Banjo: I got 100 out of 100. IT sold verry well.


Atul (Wed Aug 21 20:41:48 1996 IST):



SNAP (Wed Aug 21 20:41:52 1996 IST):

Anaida.. something on the lines of DIDI.. But why are videos so overdone and western? It goes against the Indianess of the songs..


rishi (Wed Aug 21 20:42:14 1996 IST):

who is your favourite singer from the west, present day, and past?


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:42:20 1996 IST):

Banjo: I'm upto nothing with Mark. I promise. :-)


Tone Deaf (Wed Aug 21 20:43:08 1996 IST):

Tone Deaf: Anaida... also, muscially, what are your roots? Blues? Pop? Funk? Punk? Rock? Reggae? What?


anand (Wed Aug 21 20:43:30 1996 IST):

Hi ! Anaida, just trying out this new stuff, chat on the Internet, is this your first time too ?


Atul (Wed Aug 21 20:43:55 1996 IST):

Do you write your own lyrics? If yes, what's your source of inspiration? If not, do you contribute in any way? Or do you only lend your voice to the songs?


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:43:57 1996 IST):

Atul: IF that's you, I loved it Atul. How could I not. You're such a handsome guy, blah.. blah... blah.. blah...


Venkat (Wed Aug 21 20:44:06 1996 IST):

Baiju: Frankly, I am young. I'm 22.


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:45:00 1996 IST):

Tone: Deaf: No, I'd go deaf.


Atul (Wed Aug 21 20:45:11 1996 IST):

Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:45:19 1996 IST):

Rishi: The variety.


SNAP (Wed Aug 21 20:45:19 1996 IST):

Venkat: I was modelling for a while. Haven't got anything good enough lately. But I will.


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:46:17 1996 IST):

Venkat: Oh, and thank you.


Tone Deaf (Wed Aug 21 20:46:38 1996 IST):

Anaida... not to mention the listeners *LOL*



Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:46:53 1996 IST):

Atul (Wed Aug 21 20:47:07 1996 IST):

SNAP (Wed Aug 21 20:47:41 1996 IST):

Anaida.. you said you are not Indian.. where are you from?


rishi (Wed Aug 21 20:47:47 1996 IST):

variety, what variety? all the present music sounds similar, all the movies have the same muck and mush, all the video albums look similar (perhaps because most are made by ken ghosh). can you show me some variety, i sorely need it!


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:48:08 1996 IST):

Snap: I'm Eurasian -- Greek- Persian mix.


Baiju Paul Mathews (Wed Aug 21 20:48:59 1996 IST):

What are your future plans (Politics, Films, Social Welfare etc. etc. etc or just a good housewife?)


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:49:16 1996 IST):

Rishi: All the questions sound similar too. None of my videos were made by Ken Ghosh. All of them were first-time directors.


Tone Deaf (Wed Aug 21 20:49:47 1996 IST):

Anaida... hey, the snaps I saw of you, you have nice long straight hair... so what was with that nest-of-snakes hairdo you had for the video?


rishi (Wed Aug 21 20:50:07 1996 IST):

anaida, your being greek? now that sounds like greek to me? honest, what's up your genes?


SNAP (Wed Aug 21 20:50:45 1996 IST):

Wow.. you sound exotic.. So tell me why does our videos have so much of western touch to it.. our songs aren't you know...


Atul (Wed Aug 21 20:50:50 1996 IST):

ANAIDA

You've got three aces, pal! Play for keeps now!!
Bet all you've got and clean up the table!


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:50:56 1996 IST):

Baiju: Social welfare, if I could be of any assistance.


Venkat (Wed Aug 21 20:51:25 1996 IST):

are u planning on any new album currently?


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:51:34 1996 IST):

Atul: I think you're cool. Thanks.


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:52:08 1996 IST):

Snap: MAybe because I'm a westerner?


Tone Deaf (Wed Aug 21 20:52:10 1996 IST):

Curious... there's a lot of sensuous stuff in music videos these days... how easy is it, doing that stuff for the cameras? And how much of shooting a music video is like, say, acting in a movie? Talking of which, ever had any of those Bombay filmwallahs knocking on your door?


rishi (Wed Aug 21 20:52:18 1996 IST):

say, i got a song for you. it could go something like, da da da,


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:53:02 1996 IST):

Tone Deaf: I was getting snaky.


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:53:25 1996 IST):

Rishi: Wah, wah, wah


rishi (Wed Aug 21 20:53:49 1996 IST):

that was incomplete. it could go da da da, doo doo doo anaida, what you gonna doo? (after this chat i mean)


Baiju Paul Mathews (Wed Aug 21 20:54:20 1996 IST):

I am at my office What about you


Atul (Wed Aug 21 20:54:38 1996 IST):

Boy, you're sure good for my ego! You think I'm handsome AND cool! I think I'll log off now - not used to compliments from a femme fatale, you see!

Just kidding :-)...I'm not leaving till they throw me outta here!



Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:54:58 1996 IST):

Tone Deaf: I don't have anything too hot in my videos. Nor am I prancing around in a lingerie. Pun intended. And yes, I do get a lot of film offers. HAven't liked any of the trees enough to dance around.


Hindustani Fan (Wed Aug 21 20:55:25 1996 IST):

Waat ees all this pop-wop stuff you are doing, I say, good girl like you? Why don't you sing some hindustani raag type things, hmmm?


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:55:39 1996 IST):

Baiju: I'm in cyberspace.


Venkat (Wed Aug 21 20:55:41 1996 IST):

Anaida,We all liked the song ouva..ouva,Dont u believe the video plays a important role in the popularity of the song as it happens in the US.


Atul (Wed Aug 21 20:56:25 1996 IST):

Tell me, Anaida, what are you like as a person. Now, be honest...you know how Pinnochio's nose grew don't you :-)


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:56:40 1996 IST):

Rishi: My genes are up and on me all right.


rishi (Wed Aug 21 20:56:41 1996 IST):

Robert Zimmermann (Wed Aug 21 20:56:50 1996 IST):

Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:57:47 1996 IST):

Atul: I am unpredictable, impaitent, always in a hurry, never ever lie. My nose isn't as big as Pinnochio and I don't have a wooden head.


rishi (Wed Aug 21 20:58:57 1996 IST):

zimmermann is way out of his style. man u should be in hollywood with jacko whacko, what say u anaida


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:59:05 1996 IST):

Robert: If a politician tells you, it looks like a dog, walks like a dog and barks like a dog, it's probably a fish.


Robert Zimmermann (Wed Aug 21 20:59:28 1996 IST):

Do you know how Bob Zimmermann is? You girls may be able to sing a note or two, but do you know your R&R history?


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 20:59:52 1996 IST):

Rishi: They are whackos or they would have given me a grammy a long time ago.


rishi (Wed Aug 21 21:00:01 1996 IST):

Anaida (Wed Aug 21 21:01:04 1996 IST):

Rishi: No, I'm not a Parsi. I don't know how they have two new years. Mine is 21st March.


SNAP (Wed Aug 21 21:01:43 1996 IST):

Anaida.. why don't you sing a country song like Kenny Rogers?


Anaida (Wed Aug 21 21:01:56 1996 IST):

Robert: That must have been my look alike. Even my twin sister does not go there.


Robert Zimmermann (Wed Aug 21 21:02:12 1996 IST):

I'll tell you this. You are pretty smart for someone who looks like a defrosted dodo.

JAWAD (Wed Aug 21 21:02:59 1996 IST):

Robert Zimmermann (Wed Aug 21 21:03:01 1996 IST):
