This post comes a month after my previous post. I know i should have written more, but then i can give you many reasons for my absence. Time obviosuly being one and the other is the fact that i couldnt think of anything to write. Last time i posted was the day when Rahman got nominated for the oscars. And now it is the victory of Rahman that has made me write this.I was watching the ceremony at my home, waiting for the award for original score to be announced. As soon as the name was announced i was literally jumping with joy :) .It was really inspiring to hear Rahman's acceptance speech the first time where he spoke about his mother and then spoke in tamil "Ella Pughazhum iraivanuke" meaning, all credits to the Almighty. No one would have expected him to talk in Tamil or even in Hindi, but then that's Rahman :)
If i called his first speech as inspiring, then i don't know what the second one was ! Surely , without any doubt one of the best acceptance speeches ever.
"All my life, I had a choice of hate and love.I chose love and here i am. "
Wow!!!!!
For someone who has scaled such heights his simplicity and humbleness is unbelievable. Can anyone be so modest even after achieving this much ? This is one of the reasons other than his Music(obviously), that i am so much in love with this man. Somethings that others may not understand, but of course true Rahmaniacs will do!
As a way of celebrating this great moment, i called up one of my friends and went to watch delhi - 6 soon after the ceremony ended. The movie was really good and the highlight was the BGM of the movie. Awesome! A great message towards the end. hope this movie does not suffer the same fate as that of swades, another great movie :)
enjoyed the day by listening to some of my favourite songs of Rahman ( as always! :) )from vellai pookal, lukka chuppi, kangalil enna eeramo to man chandre, uyire, bombay theme and many more :)
hope i do write more frequently in the future.
PS: i have seen that statement in a lottttt of blogs. guess that automatically comes to you once you start to blog :P
keep smiling and Rahmaning :)
JAI HO!!!!!
