Music + A.R Rahman = Magic

"the earth has music, for those who listen" - Shakespeare

Yes..and only few who makes that music even better to listen with their instruments and creative

style of presentation and uniqueness. And of course, A.R Rahman - the Academy and Grammy

award winner, is one among them.

From the film Roja [1992], his reign in musical world continues. He has become the undisputed

king of music in Kollywood. His works in Bollywood and Hollywood films are also notable. The

National awards and Filmfare awards which decorate his showcases are the best compliments

and examples for his works and efforts.

Apart from films, his individual music albums and concerts are also so special. Its pretty sure, that there

will be no Independence Day / Republic Day functions without playing ARR's 'Vande Mataram' song.

'Chinna chinna aasai' - The tune which i practiced very first in my keyboard @ my music class..! :-)

His music have not only rhythms and beats, but also have soul and deep feel. Many of his

compositions are suits better in every situation. They are one of the easiest ways to overcome

the depressions and also the biggest source for motivation.

Once SPB told about ARR that Rahman has reached enormous heights and gained lots of fame

by his music; but still his feet are in earth. Yes..ARR is such a man of simplicity and humbleness.

Evenafter getting Himalayan level and even more name and fame, his quality of being simple never

changed. Might be thats too one of his success formulas. (#BeingSimple)

Almost, all of my favourite songs are the compositions of ARR. The BGMs he composed for many

films became the identity for those films. Many movies were run, is running and definitely will run

just for his songs and BGMs.

After receiving the Oscars, in the same stage he told the words ''Ella pugazhum iraivanukae". Though he won the award for the English movie, he quoted that in his mother tongue Tamil. When asked about that he told "Never forget where you came from". Recently, he told the same words in Tamil again afterreceiving the Honorary Doctorate given by Berklee College of Music.

Be Simple & Unique ; Whatever U Do, Give Ur Best  ==> Life lessons i learnt from A.R Rahman...!!!
