23 Feb 2009!!! What a day it has been for millions of AR Rahman fans back home. YES. The Oscar goes to Rahman... Not one but two :) I could say nothing but a BIG congrats to ARR and Pookutty!!
Simplicity is something that i like the most in ARR... perhaps even a step more than his music. Very few personalities stick to this code.
Unfortunate to miss out the live coverage today morning, but was abreast with the event on the web like many others in the office. It was the first time i heard the excitement across the office for an event other than cricket. I could hear the noise... "Yes AR got it...", "Its two now..." everybody was as excited as holding the golden statue in their hand itself...
What a moment it was...
Still remember the days where we go buy the cassettes/CDs on the very first day of the ARR's music release... It was indeed great disappointment when i was told that all the 'alaipayudhe' CDs were sold out inspite of getting additional stock!! all this among busy entrance exam preparations... :)
Highlight of the day, what made whole Indians proud is the "Mere pass Ma hai" and "ella pugazhum irraivanukke" thats truely taking India on global stage. Very special thanks to him for taking India's glory to the red carpet.
As a close follower of his every compositions, i do believe that he had given much much great music than this... ultimately its just the recogintion that matters, he deserves it and he gets it!!
I wish he gives us more and more great music, With Delhi 6 already rocking... eagerly awaiting for all his other releases. Plenty more to come!
"Jai Ho" AR :)

Hey Sachi...I bet you are still celebrating, you being a die-hard fan of Rahman....Missing all the gala that would have happened when THE MAN returned home....Had I been in Chennai, I would have personally gone there to get just a glimpse of him.....Could only post my wish in arrahman.com....
No celebrations as such... Just that i feel happy for him for what he was and what he is now!
Somehow i won't go to the extent of going to chennai to see him... just that atleast once i would like to attend his concert!
He has promised one from KM foundation with all the musicians whom he had worked from Roja...awaiting that. Hope i can make it :)
I have been to his concert here in SFO. It was an awesome exp. Got a sore throat at the end of it since I was njoying and screaming much..:-)))) Do go for a concert...Its a quality fun...
