A.R. Rahman regaled audiences with a retrospective of his filmic repertoire
at the Times Of India Changing Notes concert in Chennai, a city he says he
"enjoys performing" in."There was of course, the usual chaos before a
concert over here. I love performing in Chennai. That's where my roots are,"
Rahman told IANS by phone from Chennai.

India's Chennai edition.
"Basically, we chose to perform my film

That seemed to be the need of the hour. It was a rather special occasion.
Besides me, there was my full orchestra, plus singers like Chitra," he
added.
Apart from music, the 41-year-old music
composer<http://www.amitabhbachchan.net/v2/bd/stc/nws/2008/4/21/30448.shtml#>gives
priority to his children and tries to spend as much time as possible
with them.
"My life has always been a journey. When I was in my 20s, I went through the
most turbulent and hectic time of my life. Now I spend as much time as
possible with my children Khatija, Rahima and Amin.
"My studio in Chennai is bang opposite my house, so they spend a lot of time
with me. All they've to do is cross the road and they're with me," said
Rehman, whose recent hit compositions include songs from "Guru" and "Jodhaa
Akbar".
