Its difficult to type when you're speechless. But how can I not inform
OUR fan club about the greatness of our beloved Rahman Sir.
I'm just back from a press conference at GRT Grand days hotel in
Chennai. We went there thinking the winners of the finals would be
announced. Our band Srishti has lost the semifinals. We thought we had
been called to cheer the other bands. A buffet later, we were ushered
into the conference hall. Krish anchored the proceedings as usual.
We were told Rahman Sir wouldn't be coming as it was Ramzan Day and
that the verdict was recorded at his studio and would be played to us.
The three finalists in contention were : Oxygen, Zinx and V3.
Then they played a video about how it all began and where it had
reached now, interspersed with Rahman Sir talking about the show and
the talent that was exhibited. Then there was a dance performance for
the Ooh La la la song. Then there was the vote of thanks, thanking
everyone involved. This was followed by another dance performance by
the same group, to Athiradee.I could judge the restlessess of the
finalists, waiting for the results! As for our band, we were just
waiting to pounce on the winning band, and ask them to treat us.
Then it was time to announce the results! Krish announced that Rahman
Sir would announce the result played on video. Rahman Sir spoke. A
brief of what he said : Sir felt all the bands exceeded his
expectations. Also he said that there were some aspects that were
expected from bands, which were not exhibited by some, and some other
aspects which he least expected, but was exhibited by the bands.
Then came the surprise/shock of the day. Rahman ji said that he didn't
like judging because it was very difficult. He also said he couldn't
decide on ONE winner alone. So he had chosen 6 winners!!!
*Silence*
And on expected lines, the three finalists were announced as the first
three winners (in no particular order).
Then he announced Agam, Madras Tunes and Srishti (Yes thats us!!!) as
the other 3 winners!
This was the moment of my life! The biggest surprise ever. Even
thrilling was watching Rahman Sir, the only inspiration behind any
music we've made. watching the video of our band perform in the
quarterfinals and comment on our performance. Sir said he liked our
boldness of expression, and our attitude onstage, and that there was
Jeevan in our music!
What happened next is just a vague remembrance now... Hugs, photo
sessions, the trophy and speaking to the media, thanking Rahman sir, 2
gulab jamoons, a sandwich and an ice cream..a few phone calls...Back home.
And here I am typing this writeup to the group!!!
Do watch the final episode tomorrow ie SUNDAY , the 14th of October,
on Sun TV at 8.30 PM!
LONG LIVE ARR!!
LONG LIVE HIS MUSIC!!
With warm regards,
R Vijaynarain
(hardcore Rahmaniac!)
