Jai Ho

At last, there is something for us to cheer about. A.R Rahman aka Allah Rakka Khan stole the Golden Globe award right under the nose of Hollywood biggies like Clint Eastwood, Alexandra Desplant etc. Terming ARR as a musical genius has become cliched for us in India, but his simpicity, attitude,detail to perfection, not to mention his musical prowess has captivated the entire world. I personally liked his speech at the award ceremony, even though he did look nervous and stupified he did do a good job. His parting words were the icing on the cake as he thanked the billion people in India for all their prayers.
Starting his career as a keyboard player in Ilayaraja's troupe, his jouney has been a long one. As they say true talent can never be suppressed he went on become the most sought after musicians in India and abroad. Who can forget his musical debut 'Roja'??? It marked the beginning of a new era in Indian music. Bollowood guyz turned their heads towards the south wondering "who was this magical guy who is creating ripples in the tamil music industry". Eventually ARR churned out the tunes for Rangeela and he has not looked back since then. Personally, i am a hugeee fan of ARR, his music just grows on you to that extent that you get helplessly addicted to his tunes. He is maybe one of the most innovative persons in the industry and his love for music has urged him to experiment the differrent styles, timbres and genres of music.
For those guyz who still havent heard his award winning song Jai Ho from the movie Slumdog Millionaire, here is the link

This is wishing him all the very best for all his future endeavours and hope he goes on to win the coveted Oscars one day. It is a proud moment for us and thank u ARR for making our country and fellow citizens proud. Waiting to hear more of ARR in the coming days. Jai Ho :-)
