Hi all, Yesterday, i was just going through a web site where some of ARR's childhood days were described. The constant struggle that he had to face from such a young age looking after an ailing father and taking up the reins of the family at an age when boys go to school study and play. He gave up everythin took up the responsibility and started composing ad jingles and then rest of it is history.Besides being a world renowned music director I have also noticed how modest and humble this person is...Just compared this with the other present day music directors on the following accounts.. 1.He is never jealous of anybody..he just concentrates on his work i.e. music and not shoot off his mouth(Ismail Darbar does that best..u must be aware of his interview in rediff post music release of kisna bashing Rahman like anything.Wonder how low ppl can go in jealousy). 2.He never takes the credit for whatever he has done. He passes on to the almighty: Sign of a legend.Anu Malik never misses an opportunity to boast about himself no matter what shit he composes. 3.Knows to respect others:Even after becoming such a renowned composer still respects and looks upon to his mentor Illayaraja. I really doubt whether any MD does that or not. 4.The best part:Nobody knew about Naveen,Keith Peters, Rashid,Anupama,Febi etc..Our boss has ensured that his accomplices get the required credit for lending their voices or playing the instruments and also made them popular in the process.Tell me which MD does this?Take a Nadeem Shravan composition...never it has been mentioned who played violin or keyboard etc... 5.Always gives credit to fellow composers for their music..appreciates Yuvan,HJ for anniyan etc..but the vice versa never happens.. 6. Off course his works of charity and his numerous associations to do whatever possible for social upliftment.. There will be many more but this mail will then last for quite a long bit..well like our boss i am also not jealous of the MD's whom i have mentioned but i had to do so to make a clear comparison... Waiting for his latest releases especially water...anybody going to B'lore concert plz do send the description and also some pics if possible.. Lastly, i chatted with a fellow ARR fan and it was so nice to know each other and discuss the King's music... Hail ARR... bye, anujit
