Friends I have tried to translate the article . Please forgive me if there are any mistakes in the translation. I have tried to grab everyword to get it into English. Though the letters were so small and some were not even easy to identify. Anyways here is my attempt.
He is Genious but he is sooo simple. While he is working in the studio at that time he doesnt feels to go to someone, but once the job is completed he seems to be in a relaxing mood and though it may be a small technician or a big artist, he counts and treats everyone with an equal eye. "After all Rahman is Rahman Yaar". No one living in Mumbai or Chennai does have this quality like him. This is a story of a young lad from Rajkot who worked very closely with A R Rahman for 4 years. Gaurav of Rajkot utters that though Rahman has been awarded the Golden Globe but his is not surprised with it. I beleive he got this respect very late.I have seen him working since these years and he mostly works during the night hours. Rahman is a person who clears out everything, . He would come down to the studio and explains us the things whatever he wants. He is a kind of person who will compose the song and record it on the tape in the way that no one can imagine that. Rahman doesnt have a wavering mind at all. If he needs the voice or roar of a lion, he wont compromise and will get the original. "He is very clear about it, whatever he wants". He calls his artist even if the music piece is mere half a minute. I have seen him conducting an orchestra with 100 lions. (I am not sure about this line if i have read it clearly, Viral please forgive me if i have read it wrong ). If he is in a good mood then he even orders a paan full of gulkand (made with rose petals and sugar). In 2001 Rahman did setup a system named Euphonic Pup Kangol (Cant read the name properly from the article). When it was delivered he himself got down from his house and we were standing. Meanwhile he called me and put his hand on my shoulders and slided a 500 rupee note in my pocket. whenever he is happy he gives money in such manner to his fellow collegues. Though there may be lots of fans of A R Rahman who may be emailing him and writing letter, but Gaurav Bhupendrabhai Vasavda has lived in the studio of Rahman and used to design the rhythem loops from his computer. >From Gujarat there may be only 3-4 guys who are the witness of Rahman's personal and professional life and Gaurav is one amongst them. Gaurav was alongwith Rahman during the music making of films like Lagaan, Zubeida, Legend of Bhagatsingh etc. And Gaurav has also got the credit for these films. Gaurav was the interpreter to Rahman during the music making of Nayak when a troup of singers were called from Rajasthan.
