I met Ravi this past week (4/5/99- 4/7/99) and I was totally impressed.  He has true talent through his music and through his attitude.  There will be pictures up on this page soon.  Please check out his website http://www.heyravi.com

                                    10 FACTS ABOUT RAVI:

1. Ravi's birthday is in May- please wish him a happy 36th birthday and tell him that Mel told you to do so!
2. Ravi seems to love seafood
3. Ravi likes to collect things- he has numerous Tshirts- Hanson ones and a Spring Arbor College shirt too- hmmm...
4.  Ravi wrote a book about Hanson
5.  Many people mispronounce Ravi- it sounds like Robbie only it's Ravi
6.  Ravi has two cds out. The first is called Ravi and the second is called out of the blur
7.  Ravi has three awesome Michigan fans- they went to all three Michigan appearances...
8. Ravi once autographed a plastic pony
9. Ravi made a tape of great guitar players for Isaac for his birthday in 1997 and made a similar one for Zac- of drum players...
10. Ravi's least fave performance in 1997 was Arthur Ashe

Ravi toured with Hanson in 1997 and has written a book entitled Dancin With Hanson which you can pick up now in your local bookstore.  I have heard that there is some controversy with some Hanson fans and I will give you my opinion on these misunderstandings.  However, I do encourage you to read the book and judge for yourself, but please don't judge Ravi one way or the other unless you get the opportunity to meet him.  He is a wonderful person.

Problem #1: Most fans think that Ravi is bitter and wrote the book to "get back" at Hanson.
That is not true.  Ravi is not bitter and is doing his own thing now anyway, he wrote the book to give Hanson fans a look at things that they always wonder about and always ask him about.  Ravi is very supportive of Hanson and still is in contact with them.  Hanson has a copy of his book and is not mad at Ravi for writing it.

Problem #2: Ravi writes things in the book that go against the Hanson "image"...
Ok people, this book only proves that Hanson are three normal people with normal reactions and emotions.  Did you really think that they didn't have feelings for other girls other than their mass of fans? Hanson are normal people...
