A.R.Rahman & Sachin Tendulkar - Destiny' twins?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
A startling but very logical coincidences between 2 of
the gr8est men of 90's/......they characterised the
90's and were icons of the youth at that
time(including me)......just see the startling
similarities between these 2:
Comprehensive similarities between A.R.Rahman and
Sachin Tendulkar:
Entry into their respective fields:
A.R.Rahman: 1992
Sachin Tendulkar: 1989
They were an instant hit because:
A.R.Rahman: Blasting music, classical songs at a very
young age
Sachin Tendulkar: Swashbuckling batting and a great
cricketing sense at a very young age
How they stood out from others?
A.R.Rahman: First to bring digital touch to Indian
music and compose fusion that no one else dares to
think off
Sachin Tendulkar: First to explore the first 15-over
restriction, score centuries at bouncy, tough tracks
like Perth.
As time moved on:
A.R.Rahman: Stopped producing blasting music, instead
delivered Classical melodies like Taal & swades out of
maturity.
Sachin Tendulkar: Stopped going over the top to
bowlers, instead played exquisite drives and late cuts
and produced innings with a lot of maturity
Character similarity:
A.R.Rahman: Shy towards media and lets his keyboard
answer his critics
Sachin Tendulkar: Shy towards media and lets his bat
answer his critics
Media point of view:
A.R.Rahman: Darling of Mumbai and London press
Sachin Tendulkar: Darling of Mumbai and London press
International attention:
A.R.Rahman: Admired by Andrew Lloyd Webber , Micheal
jackson ( who wore a t-shirt having Rahman's photo on
it) and many other international music reviewers who
want him to compose for Hollywood films.
Sachin Tendulkar: Adored by the man himself the "DON",
Mike atherton( who compared sachin to W.G.Grace) and a
never ending list of
Australian,English,Kiwi,Westindian players.
Earnings:
A.R.Rahman: Draws 1 Crore/ film, ambassador of Bharti
telecom, sizzled with the Airtel ad
Sachin Tendulkar: unimaginable money on contracts with
big commercial giants and sizzles in Pepsi ads
Records:
A.R.Rahman: 4 national awards, 16 filmfare awards, his
music sold 200 million copies around the world and
success rate of 80%+ album sales in Indian movies.
Sachin Tendulkar: Look at this for a record: 37 ODI
centuries, 35 TEST centuries, 13,000+ runs in ODI's,
44+ average in ODI's and 58+ average in Tests. What
else u can ask for?
Popularity:
A.R.Rahman: Has a huge fan following in India and in
south he is a demi-god and captures the imagination of
NRI's throughout the world
Sachin Tendulkar: According to a survey, he is the
most popular man in the Country edging out Prime
minister and Shah-rukh-khan. He is popular in places
like U.S where even the game is not that popular
(featured in an exclusive article in an American
sports magazine)
Career Graph & Present form:
A.R.Rahman: Had fabulous nineties with all his albums
doing well in this time. Reached dizzying heights
during this period. Have had flops with major banners
since 2001, which got the critics interested. Had a
great 2003 within this lean patch with Boys creating
sales records. His fans base however is intact, proved
that with success of A Ah album.
Sachin Tendulkar: The star of 90s, his batting
propelled him into a youth icon status in India and
was concurred with many awards from the government.
Being pressurized by the detractors for a imaginary
loss of form and injury worries since 2001. Had a
great world cup 2003 scoring runs at will. Recently
has had a good innings in a one-day match to prove
that he is still fit.
(Their career-graph is one of the most fascinating
things I have ever noticed, they always seem to have
good times together. Bad times also coincides for both
of them)
Fans:
A.R.Rahman: Die-hard fans want him to go back to 90s
style of composing
Sachin Tendulkar: Never say die fans want him to take
up 90s style of swashbuckling batting.
Successors:
A.R.Rahman: His successors like Yuvan shankar raja and
himesh reshammiya are more successful than him right
now but no way near to him in terms of class
Sachin Tendulkar: Yuvraj Singh, Mohammed Kaif are more
popular with people than him right now but as the old
west-Indian saying goes: FORM IS TEMPORARY BUT CLASS
IS PERMANENT.
Duplicates:
A.R.Rahman: Has a duplicate called Harris jeyaraj who
not only copies his music and composing style but also
his hairstyle and way of speaking in interviews.
Sachin Tendulkar: Virendar sehwag, a natural duplicate
of sachin with looks and batting style similar to him
called Najafgarh ka Tendulkar. (Najafgarh is
Virendar sehwags hometown.)
Where will they end up?:
A.R.Rahman: Probably will put India into the world map
of music and create records which upcoming Indain
M.D's can just dream off
Sachin Tendulkar: It would probably take an android or
a special species of human being to erase his record
in Cricket. Will always be remembered as the greatest
ever Batsman of modern era.
