yeah... i saw the interview on 'DAWN NEWS' channel here in karachi... Lataji looked very sad and discouraged about the present music scene in india...she said that the present day composers are forgetting their roots... at this moment, the host of the program asked her "what about Mr. A R Rahman??" oh...i was just waiting for that moment...i knew that our boss's name was about to come very soon.. IT DID! Lataji replied,"jee haan...lekin Rahman sahab bohot kum films karte hain...magar un ka kaam bohot acha hota hai.." ("yeah...but Rahman works in very few films...but whatever he does, is very good")Lataji was talking in hindi throughout the interview... the host of the show did a great job too...

HE IS EXCEPTIONAL. HE IS DOING MANY NEW THINGS WHICH R REALLY GOOD. BUT HE IS DOING VERY FEW ALBUMS'.This remark of hers is indeed a big praise for our LEGEND A R RAHMAN, because a singer who has sung thousands of songs from past 5 decades feels A R RAHMAN is the only true music director of this country now.HATTS of to LATAJI to say the FACT openly and HATTS of to our RAHMAN sir for keeping that WINDERFUL WORK.
