Dear fellow fans, Many congratulations and heartfelt wishes to A.R.Rahman. I want to really put out my honest thoughts on this day - while i have always been a silent admirer in this blog. Man-what a day it was!. It was actually like watching a cricket world cup final - last 2 balls 12 runs to win at MCG & A.R.Rahman thumping two massive sixes back to back. The same humility , down to earth acceptance of award, the gentle smile - thanking his mother & his signature thanksgiving to god "Ella Pugazhum Iraivanukke" - what more can you ask for - from a guy who has fought all battles of life, right from his young age & as he says - "i had to chose between hatred and love" and i chose love. This speaks volumes about his simplicity and the desire to perform, win and help others win too! The way i would put it is - "Its actually a pride for the Academy to honour such a selfless human like A.R.Rahman". Several years of sincere hardwork - coupled with dedication, practice, commitment, creativity, enthusiasm, his never ending passion for music.. The inner spiritual quality in him - showcased through his honest and straight from the heart music. The patriotism & love towards the country and his eagerness to place India at a different level in global space. The ability to bring out the best not only from himself - but most importantly from others. The selfless attitude to recognise talent and bring it to the forte. His philosophy of "Live and Let Live" and desire for continous improvement. It has been such a memorable day for all us as fans & in fact i told my team in office - that i will throw an ice cream party if A.R. wins and i need to honour that commitment. I can sleep peacefully tonight - A.R.has won & so India has won! RECIPE FOR SUCCESS - A.R.RAHMAN. God Bless him. Best Wishes Nagi - An ardent fan
