RE: [arr] Jai Ho- not A.R's best?
Perfect reply. Like to add-on to say his previous success are stepping stones for his recognition. Because of the success of Roja; he got the option to venture into the bollywood world. Because of his successess in many hindhi movies; he has the option to venture into more international territories periodically. The Oscar is a face-life for our man. Though he has been talked about published in many articles worldwide; the Oscars his recent previous Critics Awards, BAFTA Golden Globe etc... gives him recognition for his achievement. So, it is because of his consistent previous achievements; that he was recommended again, and again, and again to achieve the unbelieveable for an Indian.

That's fine. We live in a subjective world. I didn't think it was his best either. But that's the point- he wasn't competing with himself (or rather his other tracks), at this year's Oscars! If we had tracks from Roja, Lagaan or even Thiruda Thiruda in competition with Jai Ho, then I can understand how fans can be disappointed that Jai Ho won over a Mitwa or a Kojam Nilavu or even a Dil se re. But they were not there to compete with Jai Ho. So why fuss about how it's not his best and that's why it should have not got an Oscar - or something in those lines! When one day we have two of Rahman's albums up for nominations at the Oscars, we can moan about why one got it over the other. So save the discussions (and unnecessary disappointment) till then! Also, if Lagaan had won the Oscar for best foreign movie, that would not have got Rahman an Oscar. There is no Best Music in a Foreign Film category at the Oscars.Yes, his music would have been part of an Oscar winning movie but A.R.Rahman, the man himself would not have been an Oscar winner. This will apply to all future Indian projects. They will always be classified as foreign films. So although we'd like Oscars for all our favourite Rahman soundtracks, that ain't going to happen because they have mostly been for foreign films, in the eyes of the Academy.

Re: [arr] Rahman: I have to be more careful now
It wasn't a situation that demanded a Beethoven's Symphony or a Ba-ba black sheep! Composing for films is not about showing the world what you can do.

His Music ~ My Mother Tongue From: Vithur vith...@gmail.com To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Sent: Wednesday, 8 April, 2009 9:47:23 PM Subject: [arr] Rahman: I have to be more careful now Rahman: I have to be more careful now Rahman believes that he will have to put more effort into his music as his audience has grown. There will not be a change in my music but I have to be more careful - because I guess my music will be noticed by more people now, he says. I guess we have to culturally accommodate as much as we can. There is definitely a sense of pressure but that's good. Good music always comes with honesty and when made directly from the heart and by being conscious of melody.” Rahman is also highly impressed by MIA’s work. MIA collaborated with him on the song ‘O Saya’, which was also nominated for the Oscar. “I find her an extraordinary artiste who makes political statements with her music,” he told a local website. “Some years back, she had come down to record her music at my studio because she needed some specific kind of percussion and had expressed a wish to work with me then because she liked the energy in my music. At that time, I was busy. But when this opportunity arose, I naturally took it.” Many artists have said that ‘Jai Ho’, which won him the Oscar, is not at all as good as most of his other compositions. Rahman, however, says that even if it isn’t as good, it’s exactly the song the film needed. He says, “Well, I had to make something that was right for the film. It wasn't a situation that demanded a Beethoven's Symphony or a Ba-ba black sheep! Composing for films is not about showing the world what you can do. You have to get something right first and then try and excel in it.

Re: [arr] ARR and the Value of Detachment
Excellent .. One of the best I have read in this forum for quite a long time. Good work Chord. On Wed, Apr 8, 2009 at 6:34 PM, Chord purev...@yahoo.com wrote: There are many brilliant artists in this world who achieve great, long lasting success. But, there are very few who are able to control their success and instead, their success controls them. ARR is someone who always stays in control. How? When someone achieves great heights, great fame, fortune, recognition, etc., it's extremely easy for the human mind and spirit to get caught up in the frenzy and taking that success too seriously, ultimately, succumbing to that success and surrendering to the ego. Take a look at Himesh Reshamiya as an example. I don't listen to his music, but I have to admit, he had the guts, the energy, the vision to carve out a nice niche for himself and he has achieved great success, built up a huge fan base, etc. etc. An ordinary artist cannot do what he did. Unfortunately for him, he took his success and himself way too seriously and is now in my eyes a victim of his own arrogance and narcissism. Sure, he still has his fans and he may continue to belt out commercial hits, but let's face it, the party's over for him. Look at it this way: When you climb up against gravity, the more weight you carry, the harder the climb becomes and ultimately, you stop climbing and if the weight you build up becomes too great to handle, you could fall, and fall hard. If you climb without a lot of weight and don't accumulate weight on the way, you will keep going, God willing. Now, look at our man, ARR. Despite being in the industry for years and years, he has always maintained a dominant and successful position in his career. Yes, he has had peaks and valleys in terms of commercial success along the way, but his general status, the respect he's given and earned, the goodness that people associate with him remains the same. ARR has done what not many artists are able to do, and that is to create some space between himself and his success and to not let his ego become too heavy. It's his strong family values, incredible faith and spirituality that allows this type of detachment. He never lets his success control him. He is always wary of overexposure and takes nothing for granted. He has the ability to generate a healthy, broad perspective on his career, his life, his relationship with the ultimate divine that he does not allow himself to surrender to his own worldly success. It takes a very unique combination of personal elements and life experiences to maintain this attitude and strength of mind. But, his is an example that we can all learn to apply to our own lives. If ARR has taught me one thing about life, it is the value of detachment and not taking too seriously those things that are worldly and temporary. ARR has reinforced to me the value of creating space between ourselves and our actions and consequences, thereby helping to create a strong anchor against the winds and storms of life. ARR is surely enjoying the ride that is his life, but he remains in the driver's seat of his own success, while ironically, surrendering to the almighty. He maintains control of his success despite surrendering himself to permanence and because of that surrender at the same time, helping to create that healthy detachment. Thanks to a good friend with whom I had a discussion about this with last night, helping to stimulate these thoughts within me and posting them here.

The 68-year-old legend who is famous for his candid nature believes that getting the Academy award was a golden moment in Indian history but the song per se did not deserve the honour. Getting an Oscar is no doubt a great achievement but the song, for which we got the award, is not so special. Frankly I did not understand on what basis it was awarded, Singh told PTI at a function where he released his new album 'Inteha.' The Ghazal maestro, said that he did not understand the lyrics of the composition and why it has become so popular that everybody from Indian political parties to International pop bands is eager to use it. When referred that lyrics for the song has been penned by Gulzar with whom he has given many hits, Singh said, When I work with Gulzar Sahab I categorically tell him to write such poetry which my fans and I can understand. Singh, who has composed some hit music for films like 'Arth' and 'Saath Saath' in the 80's does not seem to have a good opinion about today's Bollywood music as he stated, it lacks profound poetry and soulful tunes.

[arr] Singing for Mr. Rahman is just like a pilgrimage - Krishna Beura
Soniyo (From The Heart) (*RAAZ-2*), Main Jahaan Bhi Rahoon (*Namastey London *), Har Saans (*Zindaa*), Ishq Khudaai (*Rudhraksh*) , Rabba (*Musafir*), Deedar De (*Dus*), Aap Ki Kashish (*Aashiq Banaayaa Aapne*), Aa Dil Se Dil Milaa Le (*Naqaab*), Maula Mere (*Chak De! India*), Jaane Ke Jaane Naa (* Jaan-e-Mann*), Jogi (*RuBaRu*)…these are just some of the many beautiful songs Krishna Beura has lent his soulful voice to. Today, I, Amanda Sodhi, present you with another in-depth interview, this time with the very talented singer and music composer Krishna Beura. Read away and enjoy this candid interview in which Krishna talks about his move from Dubai to Bombay, how he got his break, his goals, his experiences at concerts, changes he would like to see taking place in the music industry, his latest album and much, much more! *Tell us a little bit about your observations of the approach to music of the various music directors and singers you've worked with? * India is one of the most brilliant countries in the world where there is a mixture of different cultures and religions. This gives Indian music composers and singers the versatility of doing their work with perfection and ease. All the composers and singers I have worked with are brilliant in their own way. They are very, very professional and they know what they are doing. Now the new generation has a good exposure to world music. So, they can create or render almost any kind of song. Apart from the legends, my favorite singers of new generation are Sonu Nigam, Abhijeet Bhattacharya, Udit Narayan, KK, Jaspinder Narula, Richa Sharma, Sunidhi Chauhan and Shreya Ghoshal. I have worked with Ilayaraja, Shankar-Ehsaan-Loy, Aadesh Shrivastava, Vishal-Shekhar, Salim-Suleiman, Anu Malik, Himesh Reshammiya, Raju Singh, Anand Raaj Anand and Pritam. All are talented and brilliant in their own ways. *Are there any singers and music directors in particular you would like to work with? Is their any actor in particular you would like to sing for? * I would love to sing with Lata Ji and Asha Ji. I have already sung with contemporaries like Sonu Nigam, Sunidhi Chauhan, Richa Sharma, etc. I would have loved to sing with Nusrat Sahab, but am happy to have sung with Rahat Fateh Ali Khan in *Namastey London* (Main Jahan Rahoon) . I have worked with almost all the music directors in Bollywood as I mentioned, *but I am waiting for a call from Mr. A.R. Rahman. It will be the biggest break of my life and I am sure after Maula Mere Le Le Meri Jaan from Chak De! , it will be a milestone song for me. I think singing for Mr. Rahman is just like a pilgrimage. Means if one does not do it, his life as a singer is a waste. It’s like jiwe Panjabi wich kehnde san Jinne Lahore nahi wekheya oh jammeya nai. * http://www.planetbollywood.com/displayArticle.php?id=s031709014319 -- regards, Vithur
Re: [arr] ARR QUOTES
ARR QUOTATIONS Music is language itself. It should not have any barriers of caste, creed, language or anything. Music is one, only cultures are different. Music is the language of languages. It is the ultimate mother of languages- Film music in India is like pop music in the West. Movies are the channels for this music. But music stays on long after the films. - If a music artiste wants to blossom into a full-fledged person, it's not enough if he knows only classical music; nor is it enough if he's well-versed only in Raagas and techniques. Instead, he should be a knowledgeable person interested in life and philosophy. In his personal life there should be, at least in some corner of his heart, a tinge of lingering sorrow. - Music is a gift from God and every note should be blessed. Otherwise music becomes noise if it is not blessed. I am influenced by Sufism, which is also connected with music. Before composing I pray and beg to God to give me something. I believe every song should have a pure soul in it to reach people. His Prayer to GodO God, if I worship thee for fear of hell, burn me in hell, and if I worship thee in hope of Paradise, exclude me from Paradise, but if I worship thee for thy own sake, grudge me not thy everlasting beauty. Whom do you consider your closest rival? The man who's inside me and constantly trying to distract me from doing good work. How does it feel to be on top? I don't really think I'm at the top. Basically, I came into this field not to intrude on anybody else's success. I am like a boat without an oar. I let life take its own course. I know only my work and God, I pray a lot. You get dejected if you plan something and it does not happen. I like music that is able to stir my soul. My music is a spiritual exercise Criticism is fine - at the end of the day, my music speaks for itself You can't have everything in life: What one thinks is possible might not always be so. I try to do my best but, finally, everything lies in God's hands. I consider my skills as a musician to be a blessing from God. Even today, before I perform, I am unsure of whether I will be able to move my audience. I leave everything to Him… He pulls the strings in my life.I dont have time to cherish the joys and repent the failures in life . I go on with my work not caring about the response i have got of my previous works Rather than making money I believe in making people happy, all other things are secondary. Money isn't important, creative satisfaction is. Swades is right from my heart. It is simple and sweet music. How would you describe A.R.Rahman in your own words? A.R.Rahman is a failure and slowly he is trying to reach something. In my case, dust has become gold.I feel at home with my food and my people. Awards come with the blessings from God and it encourages you. At the same time it is not the end and it's a promise and you feel ashamed and ask yourself What have I done to get this? If a musician wants to blossom into a full-fledged person, it's not enough if he knows only classical music; nor it is enough if he's well-versed only in raagas and techniques. Instead, he should be a knowledgeable person interested in life and philosophy. In his personal life there should be, atleast in some corner of his heart, a tinge of lingering sorrow. — A.R.RahmanThe search is more important than the destination You are what your deepest desire is. As you desire, so is your intention. As your intention, so is your will. As is your will so is your deed. As is your deed, so is your destiny. –The Upanishads On Wed, Apr 8, 2009 at 11:28 PM, Kalyan Chakravarthy B libri...@yahoo.comwrote: I don't remember exactly but it should start something like Background music is like a necklace of a beautiful woman. --- On *Tue, 4/7/09, mohd noor freshprince_2000_2000...@yahoo.com*wrote: From: mohd noor freshprince_2000_2000...@yahoo.com Subject: [arr] ARR QUOTES To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 8:19 PM Dear Rahmaniacs, Kindly share all the famous quotes said by our beloved ARR.

I agree that Jai ho is not a great song in Rahman's standard, but I believe it's certanly a great WESTERN song! Who can put the spanish lyrics, roaring drums, high pitched Jai ho in a standard song? It's a tribute song for the bollywood, you can trace the elements from 60's to todays music in bollywood. Only minus thing is the mixing editing is not upto Rahman's standard which because of he took only 1/5th of his standard time for SDM's music! But yet, SDM is soundtrack for a hollywood movie... --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Bivin Chandra bivinchan...@... wrote: New Delhi, Apr 7 (PTI) The world might be ga ga over A R Rahman's Oscar winning composition 'Jai Ho' but legendary Ghazal singer, Jagjit Singh finds the song overrated.

[arr] Re: Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya, is said to have music that he did for Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikaalam
Has COM been shelved? --- In arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com, Jon ta.busin...@... wrote: Current updates on Endhiran Sultan The Warrior Endhiran, The Robot: The film is planned for release late this year, though it is widely believed that the film will hit screens only next year. Endhiran is Sun Picturesâ first film as direct producers and despite the sagging economy, the film is made on a never-heard-before budget. But Sun Picturesâ involvement in the film is also the reason that not a lot of news is available about the film, as there is strong media rivalry with the vernacular medium. Like every Shankar film, shooting for the film began with the songs and the crew went to Peru for the same. Rajini doing a double action has left him bingeing and starving to gain and lose weight for his different roles. Playing a robot and a scientist, it requires the complete cooperation and dedication of the superstar, and reports state that over 60 percent of the film is done. Small screen fame actor Devadarshini, is also acting in Endhiran in an important character. The actor is said to be playing Rajiniâs sister in the movie where Rajini is holding bangle ceremony for his sister. (Valaikaappu). Shankar canned this shot with a group of women participating in the event with exquisite ornaments and silk sarees. And despite his busy schedule, Rahman is said to have assigned priority to Endhiran and has composed three songs, and each have been shot also, in Peru, Chennai (AVM Studios) and Hyderabad (Ramoji Rao Film City). Rahman has also clearly stated that he invited Yogi B only to do a rap song and not Rajiniâs introduction, which will be only by SPB, as Rahman hinted. The next schedule of shooting is all set to kick off at SRM University campus located in Kaattangulathur in Chennai-Trichy National Highway.. Sultan The Warrior: The film, directed by Rajiniâs daughter, Soundarya Rajinikanth, was originally slated for a summer release. Despite over 90 percent of the shooting being complete, it now seems like the film will not hit screens until July. The reason? Rajiniâs busy shooting schedule. With the superstar also working on another megabudget film, Endhiran, it is said that he is having difficulty allocating time for Sultan. This is because for Endhiran boasts of a power packed star cast, including Ash and Rajini, and it is taking a lot of effort to make them available at the same time. Ash is also working for Maniratnamâs Raavan, and this is making the date squeeze even worse. Shot for most part in a motion capture studio in Hyderabad, Sultan The Warrior will boast of never-seen-before action blocks, shot extensively in Vietnam. Those in the crew let out that the film has an unbelievable intro scene for the superstar. Being an action adventure, Rajini fans can also see ultimate action from him. After all, anything is possible with the help of CG, and when it comes to the Superstar, everybody loves whatever he does. Both these films of the Superstar have music only by AR Rahman. In fact, Rahman is working only on his projects in Tamil as he is busy with other Bollywood projects to concentrate on Tamil now. The only other film he is doing now, Vinnaithaandi Varuvaaya, is said to have music that he did for Chennaiyil Oru Mazhaikaalam. For Sultan The Warrior, Rahman has composed all five songs and work is complete on his part. Now, the filmâs shoot has to be done for him to do the background score. http://treasure-space.blogspot.com/2009/04/current-updates-in-endhiran-sultan.html regards Jon

Re: [arr] ARR and the Value of Detachment
No words after reading this. No words to express. My thoughts get triggered towards self-realization. Thanks a lot Chord. Its one of the best writings I have ever red. regards,sribalaji On Wed, Apr 8, 2009 at 11:04 PM, Chord purev...@yahoo. com wrote: There are many brilliant artists in this world who achieve great, long lasting success. But, there are very few who are able to control their success and instead, their success controls them. ARR is someone who always stays in control. How? When someone achieves great heights, great fame, fortune, recognition, etc., it's extremely easy for the human mind and spirit to get caught up in the frenzy and taking that success too seriously, ultimately, succumbing to that success and surrendering to the ego. Take a look at Himesh Reshamiya as an example. I don't listen to his music, but I have to admit, he had the guts, the energy, the vision to carve out a nice niche for himself and he has achieved great success, built up a huge fan base, etc. etc. An ordinary artist cannot do what he did. Unfortunately for him, he took his success and himself way too seriously and is now in my eyes a victim of his own arrogance and narcissism. Sure, he still has his fans and he may continue to belt out commercial hits, but let's face it, the party's over for him. Look at it this way: When you climb up against gravity, the more weight you carry, the harder the climb becomes and ultimately, you stop climbing and if the weight you build up becomes too great to handle, you could fall, and fall hard. If you climb without a lot of weight and don't accumulate weight on the way, you will keep going, God willing. Now, look at our man, ARR. Despite being in the industry for years and years, he has always maintained a dominant and successful position in his career. Yes, he has had peaks and valleys in terms of commercial success along the way, but his general status, the respect he's given and earned, the goodness that people associate with him remains the same. ARR has done what not many artists are able to do, and that is to create some space between himself and his success and to not let his ego become too heavy. It's his strong family values, incredible faith and spirituality that allows this type of detachment. He never lets his success control him. He is always wary of overexposure and takes nothing for granted. He has the ability to generate a healthy, broad perspective on his career, his life, his relationship with the ultimate divine that he does not allow himself to surrender to his own worldly success. It takes a very unique combination of personal elements and life experiences to maintain this attitude and strength of mind. But, his is an example that we can all learn to apply to our own lives. If ARR has taught me one thing about life, it is the value of detachment and not taking too seriously those things that are worldly and temporary. ARR has reinforced to me the value of creating space between ourselves and our actions and consequences, thereby helping to create a strong anchor against the winds and storms of life. ARR is surely enjoying the ride that is his life, but he remains in the driver's seat of his own success, while ironically, surrendering to the almighty. He maintains control of his success despite surrendering himself to permanence and because of that surrender at the same time, helping to create that healthy detachment. Thanks to a good friend with whom I had a discussion about this with last night, helping to stimulate these thoughts within me and posting them here. -- regards, Vithur Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!

[arr] He would come and crack jokes with us - Drums Sivamani
I know Rahman since the time he was Dileep. His father and my father Anandan were good friends. I used to go to his home. He would be practising the Keyboard. He would be shy beyond limits. He would talk freely in home. I would tell him Lets go to some recording theatre and practice for which he would say, Oh My God! Lets not have it here. He would keep on doing something with the Keyboard right from his tender age. Doing like , he would try to master the same. He would play the tune of the song in his keyboard , before he composes the exact song. Until the Film Director gets satisfied, he would keep playing the tunes one by one. Later, he would call the Orchestra. After the tune is Okayed, he would ask for four or five such rythms or beats. I would play my part and demonstrate. He would improve it a bit. When I play my part, he would love the same and enjoy it by shaking his head. He has lot of devotion towards God. He would enter the Recording Theatre after chanting the Holy Quran. At times, he would say, Pls relax yourselves for some moments. I would be back soon and thus saying, he would go for his prayers. Apart from the time for sleep, the rest of the moments he would be thinking of music. He is such a miraculous man. Very rarely, when he is in very good mood, he would come and crack jokes with us. - Drums Sivamani RANI MAGAZINE -- regards, Vithur

I would like you take a look at the blog dualogs.blogspot.com The latest one written over there has the picture. It feels great to me whenever I look at it and get an amazing feeling. Of course, the source of inspiration is A R Rahman, Resul, and their messages to people at the Oscars - or to the whole world - actually.

Rahman's best song is not Jai Ho. Even Rahman said Jai ho is the best song in the movie SD .Because we have huge problem comparing music from Yodha Akbar, Yuvraj,Ghajni and jaane tuu. because if you grade it Jai ho will be some where in the middle. But after all he was eligible for an oscar from Roja . so let us celebrate ang congratulate the Maestro. JAI HO to Mozart of Madras. A personal pride of every Indian

I say it DESERVES the oscar. Why? Because the reality is that it is the only song that captured the imagination and the the attention of a totally different culture which may not have paid much attention to a song in Hindi ever before. This foreign song captured the hearts of so many people. Thats where its strength lies. There are so may good songs that Rahmanhas made, and how many went unnoticed? Quite a few. The strength of music also lies in how it reaches out to people, and Jai ho did that more than any other song on the Slumdog millionaire CD. THats why it deserves it. --- On *Tue, 4/7/09, Anish Gupte musimax2000@* wrote: From: Anish Gupte musimax2000@ Subject: Re: [arr] 'Jai Ho' did not deserve an Oscar: Jagjit Singh To: arrahmanfans@yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 3:20 PM well im not a great fan of jagjit singh or anything...but thats nt the point... in fact the 2 songs u mentioned (yeh jo des ..and maa tujhe salaam) are in fact way better than jai ho ..lol rahman deserved an oscar fr sure..but not for jai ho...why... i prefer 'dreams on fire' and 'mausam and escape' to jai ho too... anyway..lets just say that 'for me' jai ho did not deserve the oscar..but rahman won it so what more can rahman fan ask for??

If you go in that thinking..everyone will accept that jai ho didnt deserve an oscar..for someone it would be yeh jo des hai tera, for some other it wud be maa tuje salam, it wuould go on on and on.. The question to ask here is..How many Rahman songs till date has been nominated for oscars? Some of you are talking as if every year a Rahman song or other gets nominated and fail to win award..This was the first time Rahman got the nomination.. and out of the nominated songs for this year..Jai Ho was a deserved winner...no doubts in that... Jagjit singh just wants to promote his albums..he is restoring to cheap tactics..if you see..he has made these comments at the time of release of his album...Its only when you say these kind of things, the event will get a good publicity..Even last time when he attacked rahman, it was some sort of event..which i am not able to recollect it...These are nothing but cheap publicity stunts. --- On Tue, 4/7/09, Anish Gupte musimax2000@ gmail.commusimax2000%40gmail.com wrote: From: Anish Gupte musimax2000@ gmail.com musimax2000%40gmail.com Subject: Re: [arr] 'Jai Ho' did not deserve an Oscar: Jagjit Singh To: arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com arrahmanfans%40yahoogroups.com Date: Tuesday, April 7, 2009, 8:56 AM I'm afraid i agree with jagjit singh. jai ho is hardly rahmans best. i guess 'mitwa' from lagaan aroused more emotions for me than jai ho.

Re: [arr] ARR and the Value of Detachment
Thanks a lot to all those involved in contributing this below article. I don't understand how to describe ARR as. Vithur :- Just for once allow me to say that ARR is my GOD''. He is a GOD.

Its one of the best writings I have ever red. regards, sribalaji On Wed, Apr 8, 2009 at 11:04 PM, Chord purev...@yahoo. com wrote: There are many brilliant artists in this world who achieve great, long lasting success. But, there are very few who are able to control their success and instead, their success controls them. ARR is someone who always stays in control. How? When someone achieves great heights, great fame, fortune, recognition, etc., it's extremely easy for the human mind and spirit to get caught up in the frenzy and taking that success too seriously, ultimately, succumbing to that success and surrendering to the ego. Take a look at Himesh Reshamiya as an example. I don't listen to his music, but I have to admit, he had the guts, the energy, the vision to carve out a nice niche for himself and he has achieved great success, built up a huge fan base, etc. etc. An ordinary artist cannot do what he did. Unfortunately for him, he took his success and himself way too seriously and is now in my eyes a victim of his own arrogance and narcissism. Sure, he still has his fans and he may continue to belt out commercial hits, but let's face it, the party's over for him. Look at it this way: When you climb up against gravity, the more weight you carry, the harder the climb becomes and ultimately, you stop climbing and if the weight you build up becomes too great to handle, you could fall, and fall hard. If you climb without a lot of weight and don't accumulate weight on the way, you will keep going, God willing. Now, look at our man, ARR. Despite being in the industry for years and years, he has always maintained a dominant and successful position in his career. Yes, he has had peaks and valleys in terms of commercial success along the way, but his general status, the respect he's given and earned, the goodness that people associate with him remains the same. ARR has done what not many artists are able to do, and that is to create some space between himself and his success and to not let his ego become too heavy. It's his strong family values, incredible faith and spirituality that allows this type of detachment. He never lets his success control him. He is always wary of overexposure and takes nothing for granted. He has the ability to generate a healthy, broad perspective on his career, his life, his relationship with the ultimate divine that he does not allow himself to surrender to his own worldly success. It takes a very unique combination of personal elements and life experiences to maintain this attitude and strength of mind. But, his is an example that we can all learn to apply to our own lives. If ARR has taught me one thing about life, it is the value of detachment and not taking too seriously those things that are worldly and temporary. ARR has reinforced to me the value of creating space between ourselves and our actions and consequences, thereby helping to create a strong anchor against the winds and storms of life. ARR is surely enjoying the ride that is his life, but he remains in the driver's seat of his own success, while ironically, surrendering to the almighty. He maintains control of his success despite surrendering himself to permanence and because of that surrender at the same time, helping to create that healthy detachment. Thanks to a good friend with whom I had a discussion about this with last night, helping to stimulate these thoughts within me and posting them here. -- regards, Vithur Add more friends to your messenger and enjoy!
