Of course, its none other than A R Rahman!! What have I got to talk abt him here, is what you think.. Isnt it? This "highly-inspiring" celebrity is going distance and taking Indian Music to great heights. Needless to say! He is such a sensational star!
He is known for his unconventional rhythm, different genres of music and above all his humbleness.. and the list goes on and on.. This man is now rocking the world with his outstanding score for the latest flick "Slumdog Millionaire" (SDM) !! Most of you would have heard about this news and just dying to see the movie!!! I know..
I recently got to hear one of his podcast which was arranged by blogtalk.radio website and I want you guys to just listen to it. I am crazy abt this man. So, even if I am asked to talk abt this man or to listen to his music for a day or week, I d do it by all means!! My friends know it very well.. They even curse me for not closing the talk easily and I never mind those comments!! After all, this prodigy has done enough to make us Indians proud !!
As we enjoy his orchestral excellence in Yuvvraaj, we get a typical hindi song in Ghajini and now its one step ahead, he goes western!! I dont know how to understand the kind of creativity he has. He is a living legend at this young age.
Few excerpts from the podcast,
When asked him abt SDM BGM, he said initially he got to see the DVD and liked it. As he said that it took just 3 weeks to compose for the entire movie, he chuckled and said it was a record for his work..!!
Also, very recently he lost his audio engineer, H.Sridhar.. He mentioned that incident as "Unbearable" in a shivering voice and he said he is trying to move on from that shock. Together, they have created wonders.. Music lovers needs no introduction to their work.
And the more-than-one-hour long podcast had lot more surprises for ARR s fans. As the Americans laud abt his work on a hollywood movie, everyone of us would feel great and I just felt like someone s praising me. ;) I donno whats that bringing in me this ultimate happiness! Hats off to the God of Music!
And, here s the link... Hear to it and see to yourself where this little man has skyrocketed in his career + passion!!

The Way of Life!!
Dear Readers..
Just came across this beautiful article in a forwarded mail.. I dont normally encourage forwarded mails like most of you, but this article has something in it, which everyone of us would agree and admire!! So, thought of sharing it here... Do spend time on this, I m sure you would nod for each and every sentence of it.. :) Enjoy!!

Isn't it amazing that George Carlin - comedian of the 70's and 80's - could write something so very eloquent...and so very appropriate.
A Message by George Carlin:
The paradox of our time in history is that we have taller buildings but shorter tempers, wider Freeways , but narrower viewpoints. We spend more, but have less, we buy more, but enjoy less. We have bigger houses and smaller families, more conveniences, but less time. We have more degrees but less sense, more knowledge, but less judgment, more experts, yet more problems, more medicine, but less wellness.
We drink too much, smoke too much, spend too recklessly, laugh too little, drive too fast, get too angry, stay up too late, get up too tired, read too little, watch TV too much, and pray too seldom.
We have multiplied our possessions, but reduced our values. We talk too much, love too seldom, and hate too often.
We've learned how to make a living, but not a life. We've added years to life not life to years. We've been all the way to the moon and back, but have trouble crossing the street to meet a new neighbor. We conquered outer space but not inner space. We've done larger things, but not better things.
We've cleaned up the air, but polluted the soul. We've conquered the atom, but not our prejudice. We write more, but learn less. We plan more, but accomplish less. We've learned to rush, but not to wait. We build more computers to hold more information, to produce more copies than ever, but we communicate less and less.
These are the times of fast foods and slow digestion, big men and small character, steep profits and shallow relationships. These are the days of two incomes but more divorce, fancier houses, but broken homes. These are days of quick trips, disposable diapers, throwaway morality, one night stands, overweight bodies, and pills that do everything from cheer, to quiet, to kill. It is a time when there is much in the showroom window and nothing in the stockroom. A time when technology can bring this letter to you, and a time when you can choose either to share this insight, or to just hit delete...
Remember; spend some time with your loved ones, because they are not going to be around forever.
Remember, say a kind word to someone who looks up to you in awe, because that little person soon will grow up and leave your side.
Remember, to give a warm hug to the one next to you, because that is the only treasure you can give with your heart and it doesn't cost a cent.
Remember, to say, 'I love you' to your partner and your loved ones, but most of all mean it. A kiss and an embrace will mend hurt when it comes from deep inside of you.
Remember to hold hands and cherish the moment for someday that person will not be there again.
Give time to love, give time to speak! And give time to share the precious thoughts in your mind.
AND ALWAYS REMEMBER:
Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away.
