The GUY, inimitable....

As I sit to type this, with JAI HO, running in the background, I could feel the goose-flesh arising on my hands.

"Chinna Chinna Aasai, Siragadikkum Aasai.
Muthu muthu Aasai, mudindhuvitta aasai"

It all started here. Yes! The film ROJA's music, stole every Indian's heart. Yes! This is guy is no nonentity. Gave a new definition for MUSIC in his first film itself. For A.R.Rahman, the fervid fan of Illaiyaraja, music has been everything in his life.

From Roja to Slumdog millionaire, his journey has never been a cakewalk. His every composition had a different savour and flavour and I, like million other Indians, loved every bit of his music.

Hats off to this genius for having won two coveted OSCARS for his music in Slumdog Millionaire. But, frankly, Rahman deserved an OSCAR in his first film itself. For this 40+ gentleman, by age, but teenager, by looks, these OSCARS are just another of the umpteen awards that he has won. His passion and LOVE (which he chose over HATE) for Music will never abate in days to come and these OSCARS would, infact, enhance his profusely over-flowing enthusiasm. With music in his heart, this guy would get younger and younger year by year.

JAI HO Rahman!! We are all proud of you. Hats off!!
