Re: [arr] Can ARRji Create another ROJA ??
Oh Sorry, Probably I was wrong in putting my views across. I didn't mean exactly like 'ROJA'...I mean something like tat which would take someone entirely into a heavenly place. 'ROJA' had only Indian music flavour in it without any western classical music unlike in any other music albums. Something very soothing, emotional and ..u know that something which you can't express by words. I shall not drag this any further, Folks, if interested comment on this thread otherwise please leave it. My intention was only to see how many in our group would like this I didn't mean to hurt anyone or their love for ARRji.

The music technology has gone through an immense change since Roja.

[arr] Farhan Akhtar declines Rahman's offer
Farhan Akhar's song for Tony D'Souza's underwater thriller *Blue* that composer A.R. Rahman has decided to record at the last minute might get stalled a bit as the director-actor-singer is suffering from a sore throat. Farhan developed a sore throat while shooting for his latest *Kartik Calling Kartik* in a dry humid studio here. And I'm hugely allergic to dust. My throat has gone bad at a time when I least needed my voice to go bad. Working in dusty studios and singing just don't go hand-in-hand. I guess I'll just have to live with it, Farhan, who debuted as a signer and actor with *Rock On!*, told IANS. http://www.hindustantimes.com/StoryPage/StoryPage.aspx?sectionName=HomePageid=7d93dd35-0b4c-4feb-862a-0b898b2d2a96Headline=Farhan+Akhtar+declines+Rahman's+offer -- regards, Vithur

[arr] AR Rahman has been winning our hearts since the earl y 90’s
AR Rahman AR Rahman has been winning our hearts since the early 90’s when he began his career in films as a music composer. His music appeals to our conscience in a way that almost no artist has been able to, with his work of art. A very humble and rooted man, A R Rahman was born in a musically affluent Tamil family. Music burned in his very soul right from the very beginning and his vision to win the world over with this melodious magic has been a success. Apart from scoring the music for movies like Bombay, Dil Se and Taal, he has been involved in several projects which bring out the humanitarian side of him and really help us witness the emotional bond he shares with his motherland, our country. He made an album Vande Mataram to mark India’s 50th anniversary of independence and followed it up with “Jana Gana Mana”, a conglomeration of performances by many leading artists of Indian Classical music. In Indian films, everyone remembers him as the man who gave life to movies like Rang De Basanti, Lagaan, Saathiya and now for Slumdog Millionaire. British directed Oscar winner Slumdog Millionaire helped Rahman to boost his career and take it worldwide as he personally won not one, but two Oscars for his music. Who hasn’t heard “Jai Ho”? And today, political parties and worldwide artists are craving to be a part of Rahman’s music. The Pussycat Dolls even converted bits of the song into English and have taken to the famous Bollywood dancing. A R Rahman has helped put Indian films on the map once again and has proved to the world that we have talent and skill in the arts in abundance as well and has made Indian music reach a summit no artist has been able to earlier. http://www.thestatesman.net/page.news.php?clid=18theme=usrsess=1id=255300 -- regards, Vithur

Dileep was 21 years old then, and was extremely busy in film music industry and jingles industry. That was the time when his career was moving in top gear, with many international tours accompanying famous bands. It was then that his sister started suffering from severe stomach ache. An unknown fear engulfed them, for they had witnessed RK Shekar’s suffering and death because of such stomach aches! They consulted several doctors, but to no avail! (Some claim that they would have missed out on consulting the right doctors/hospitals in all their anxiety!) Her condition was worsening each day. Rahman recollects those moments. “The visions of my dad’s suffering kept torturing me! We had shifted nine different hospitals, from Vellore CMC to Vijaya Hospital, Chennai. Many Christian Fathers would come and visit him and pray for him. Several Hindu priests would also visit him and bless him. Those didn’t help. Towards the end, some Islam pirs also came… But, dad left us forever” Dileep, who had witnessed the cruel last days of his dad, had turned into an atheist for sometime! If there’s really some God, would my dad have passed away at such a young age – this was the question that kept haunting him. When a similar disease attacked his sister, his mind had different questions, had more confusions. Is this all coincidental or is this a screenplay written by God or an unknown power, he used to wonder! Rahman continues, “Some days during my teenage, I believed that there was no God. I had been affected so much. Though I denied that God existed, I felt that there was a vacuum. At one stage, I realized that the world can’t function with out a power controlling us. That was when that disease attacked my sister. I was shocked. But, someone cured my sister. It was like a miracle” What happened? Who was that person? Sheikh Abdul Qadir Gilani Sahib also known as Pir Qadri. According to Rahman’s family, Pir Qadri came to see Rahman’s sister when she was ill, and she was miraculously cured due to his prayers. This sudden turn of events amazed Dileep. He couldn’t believe it. Dileep considered it as a boon that was granted by God because of Pir Qadri’s prayers! After this, Pir Qadri became a family friend, well-wisher and guide. Fe more things have to be stated at this point. It was the time when Dileep was putting in all his hard work into music. Dileep was learning everything from Hindustani, Carnatic to Western Classical! He completed graduation in western classical from Trinity College, London. His musical skills were getting sharpened more and more. He didn’t have time to even think about religion as he was immersed in music. But, he listened to Pir Qadri’s spiritual discourses from time to time. His most important advice was “There’s only one God. All prayers to him, cleanses your soul!” Dileep felt that such thought brought him peace. As days rolled by, Pir Qadri’s words brought about a quantum change in Dileep’s thoughts about religion and faith. But, he had not yet thought about the big change – conversion to Islam. He didn’t have the time for that! There was another incident, which guided him towards that. Rahman narrates that incident – “I was in Malaysia for a recording. One day, an old man appeared in my dream. He asked me to convert to Islam. I didn’t understand that, and I just left it as just a dream. But, I kept getting the same dream again and again. I felt it was a divine message. I told my mom about the dream. She was of the view that a message from God shouldn’t be ignored. From then on, I went to Mosques along with my mom, and met many Imams. I got enlightened about religion. Within a few days, all of us in our family converted to Islam.” Pir Qadri was Rahman’s first Islamic Guru. It was Pir Qadri who chose the spot for construction of Panchathan Studio at Rahman’s house. “Panchathan is an Islamic term depicting the five individual tasks of each of the five fingers”, explains Rahman’s mother Kareema Begum. After the demise of Pir Qadri, Mehboob Alam, Muhammad Yusuf Bhai were Rahman’s spiritual Gurus. Now, it is Cuddappa Malik. It was a time when Muslims in the film industry generally used a Hindu or Christian name as their screen name. But, totally opposite to the

[arr] BSF jawans to march to A R Rahman's beats
New Delhi, May 21 : Oscar winner A R Rahman, who enchanted the world with his 'Jai Ho' number, has now composed the theme song for BSF, his first for any paramilitary force. The five minute song-- 'Hum Seema Suraksha Bal... Veeron ka hai ye dal' (We are the Border Security Force... It is the force of the brave) composed by Rahman praises the strength and valour of the border force. The credit for the song goes to Meghalaya Governor R S Mooshahary who is a former DG of the force. He helped us in getting in touch with Rahman, who composed the song without charging any money for it, BSF Director General M L Kumawat told PTI on the sidelines of a function here during which the song was played for the public for the first time. The song, which also captures the emotional tribulations of a jawan guarding the border while leaving his family behind, comes with a video showing the BSF men in action along the border, undergoing training and the famous 'change of guard' ceremony at the Wagah border. The song and the video capture the true spirit of the force. Rahman has also promised to come and spend time with our men to boost their morale, Kumawat said. A BSF jawan, present at the function said, It is a matter of pride that my idol Rahman has composed a song for me . http://www.samaylive.com/news/bsf-jawans-to-march-to-a-r-rahmans-beats/628604.html Krish..

[arr] I am purified because of my Haj Pilgrimage - A.R.R
A Big Gift In the year 2006 on January 6, I got a very special and priceless gift from God. Allah gave me the opportunity to offer my prayers in Madeenah. I spent the entire day there. I cant compare that happiness with anything else. That was a birthday gift to me. I am an artist. How much ever is the work pressure, I dont give up my prayers. Prayers reduce my work load and give me mental satisfaction, and boosts my confidence. It gives and enriches my belief that God is present near me to guide me in whatever I do. Moreover, it gives the fear that I am answerable to whatever I do in my next birth. I am purified because of this Haj pilgrimage. RANI MAGAZINE -- regards, Vithur

Re: [arr] Oru Kanavin Isai (ARR's biography in Vikatan) - Week 7 - Scans and Translation
There is a correction. The Tabla maestro (and father of the Tabla maestro Zakir Hussain) was called Ustad Allah Rakha Qureshi, and not Allah Rakha Khan as mentioned by Vikatan. Ustad sahab had directed music for some Hindi films, and was credited as A. R. Qureshi. I remember reading somewhere that Naushad Ali and Ustad Allah Rakha Qureshi were friends and great admirers of each other. Also, I remember reading a little different version of the whole story. Dileep's mother took him to a famous astrologer called Ulaganathan to get his horoscope done. She asked him to suggest an Islamic name for Dileep. He suggested to name him as Abdul Rahman and further suggested that it be shortened to A. R. Rahman. Upon asking why the other initial 'R', the astrologer replied Give him a name with those two initials and he will grow up to be a great man. Mark my words. His mother did accordingly, but on the suggestion of music director Naushad Ali, AR changed the letters A and R to Allah Rakha.

That was the time when his career was moving in top gear, with many international tours accompanying famous bands. It was then that his sister started suffering from severe stomach ache. An unknown fear engulfed them, for they had witnessed RK Shekar’s suffering and death because of such stomach aches! They consulted several doctors, but to no avail!

Pudhu vellai Mazhai is COMPLETELY WESTERN CLASSICAL... Ofcourse some Indian raagas are used. Thw divinity along with WESTERN touch is what attracted TIME magazine to rate it as the 10th Best Soundtrack Ever!!

Re: [arr] I am purified because of my Haj Pilgrimage - A.R.R
What inspiring message in the morning. Thanks Vithur. 2009/5/21 uday kiran uda...@gmail.com Thank you so much bro!! Am awesome message to all. That to please pray the god whoever it may be, just do that with all the love and affection. 2009/5/21 Vithur vith...@gmail.com A Big Gift In the year 2006 on January 6, I got a very special and priceless gift from God. Allah gave me the opportunity to offer my prayers in Madeenah. I spent the entire day there. I cant compare that happiness with anything else. That was a birthday gift to me. I am an artist. How much ever is the work pressure, I dont give up my prayers. Prayers reduce my work load and give me mental satisfaction, and boosts my confidence. It gives and enriches my belief that God is present near me to guide me in whatever I do. Moreover, it gives the fear that I am answerable to whatever I do in my next birth. I am purified because of this Haj pilgrimage. RANI MAGAZINE -- regards, Vithur -- Regards, Uday Kiran -- Temet Nosce

NEW DELHI: The Border Security Force (BSF) jawans will now march to the
beats of Oscar winner A R Rahman. The music
composerhttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/BSF-has-a-theme-song-thanks-to-A-R-Rahman/articleshow/4561652.cms#,
who enchanted the world with his `Jai Ho' number, has composed the theme
song for the paramilitary force.
The five minute song — `Hum Seema Suraksha Bal... Veeron ka
haihttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/BSF-has-a-theme-song-thanks-to-A-R-Rahman/articleshow/4561652.cms#ye
dal (We are the Border Security Force... it is the force of the
brave)' —
composed by Rahman praises the strength and valour of the force which is
responsible for guarding the Indo-Pakistan and Indo-Bangladesh borders.
The credit for the
songhttp://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/India/BSF-has-a-theme-song-thanks-to-A-R-Rahman/articleshow/4561652.cms#goes
to Meghalaya governor R S Moosahary, who is a former director-general
of the force. He helped us get in touch with Rahman, who composed the song
without charging any money for it, BSF chief M L Kumawat told reporters on
the occasion of the force's investiture ceremony here on Thursday.
After being formally released on the occasion, the song, which also captures
the emotional tribulations of a jawan guarding the border while leaving his
family behind, comes with a video — titled `Borderman' — showing BSF men in
action along the border, undergoing training and the famous `change of
guard' ceremony at Wagah border.
Kumawat said: The song and the video capture the true spirit of the force.
Rahman has also promised to come and spend time with our men to boost their
morale.
On the occasion, the BSF chief also announced that the force — which will
soon begin the process of raising its strength by recruiting 29,000 more
personnel — would also undertake a massive modernisation project costing
over Rs 6,000 crore in the next five years.
The plan will also see the construction of 509 new border outposts along the
Indo-Pak and Indo-Bangla borders, nine new sectors and three more frontier
headquarters.
