On August 12, 2002, Mr Hariharan took time out from his US concert tour to participate in a long-awaited net chat with his fans. The chat was conducted in Washington, DC, from 0900 GMT to 1030 GMT. The more net-savvy fans with the right technology were also able to catch a quick glimpse of Mr Hariharan on webcam and hear his brief greetings. Mr Hariharan regrets that he was inundated with too many questions and greetings at some points that he could not address each of his fans individually. The transcript of the chat, which was moderated by the webmasters, is reproduced below near verbatim, with only minor editorial changes to make the chat more intelligible. We apologize for not being able to capture the first few minutes of the chat owing to technical reasons. (Please note that the hariharan_a id used by Mr Hariharan during the chat is that of the webmasters.)

[Mr Hariharan has activated the voice feature.]
kopran88: we sure do
sridhar20850: Hi Mr. Hariharan; I am sridhar Iyer, I met with you briefly after last night's awesome concert. I am thrilled that I am able to chat with you online - You have certainly Indian music to a different level altogether!
shotimestwo: probably most amazing to me was the ease with which you changed between Hindi and Tamil in your songs without missing a beat. Do you find that an asset in doing music with Colonial Cousins?
hariharan_a: thank you, Sridhar
padma_giri: Harjiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
keerthyn: hariji?
jprathy: Hariji.....One Kind request
padma_giri: Harijiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii
hariharan_a: Colonial Cousins is a two-member band and has its own charm, I'd say
hariharan_a: Padma, your ji is getting longer
keerthyn: hariji
padma_giri: yes it will be getting longer
sridhar20850: Your versatility surpasses all languages - can I pick up the thread from SIES, way back in 1971?

keerthyn: or was it ; ezz programming??
hariharan_a: Sulaiman Merchant have not worked on Colonial Cousins

padma_giri: please when you find a change
padma_giri: I am sorry when you find a chance
padma_giri: browse thru the chat screen to look for my heartfelt comments about your voice
padma_giri: and what your song does to us
hariharan_a: Yes, Padma I've read your comments
padma_giri: ok thanks a ton
keerthyn: i don't know if u remember?
padma_giri: I expect an acknowledgement hariji, that will elate my mind
keerthyn: but have u ever come to aaksh recording studio in b'lore??
honey_bunnie007: Hariji.....what is you all time favourite song/ghazal?
honey_bunnie007: do you have your own compositions?

keerthyn: i used to work there about 5 yrs back as an assistant sound engineer
jprathy: We expected u to sing "I Love my India" yesterday
