Some of India’s best musicians will lend their magic to the multi-national, multi-sport event. Composer-musician Ranjit Barot has been appointed as the music director of the Games while A R Rahman has been commissioned to compose the theme song or the official anthem. As music director, Barot will be working on all segments of the event, including the opening and closing ceremonies, along with Rahman, Taufiq Qureshi, Hariharan and other musicians. “There are a number of cultural segments involved in the Commonwealth Games, so there is plenty of scope for varied styles. However, since the Games will be held in India this time, the underlying feel will be quintessentially Indian. We have tried to capture the essence of ancient and contemporary India through the music. It is a challenging and hugely satisfying experience,” says Barot. http://timesofindia.indiatimes.com/Entertainment/Music/Barot-Rahman-magic-at-CWG/articleshow/6151579.cms -- - Regards ~ ~ A.R.Rajib ~ ~

Re: [arr] ARR 5th in list of Most Trusted Indians
Wow.. Thats a strange but a very interesting list.. And quite well surveyed. :) On Tue, Mar 2, 2010 at 7:18 AM, Gopal Srinivasan catchg...@gmail.comwrote: Kalam tops trusted Indians list IANS Published on Tue, Mar 02, 2010 at 17:31, Updated on Tue, Mar 02, 2010 at 18:14 in India section New Delhi: Former president A P J Abdul Kalam and industrialist Ratan Tata top the list of 100 most trusted Indians while artist M F Husain is at 91 and Uttar Pradesh Chief Minister Mayawati is at the very bottom, a survey conducted for Reader's Digest has revealed. Prime Minister Manmohan Singh is ranked seventh, one place below chess grandmaster Vishwanathan Anand, Sachin Tendulkar is at number eight and Nobel laureate Amartya Sen at 10th place along with Wipro chairman Azim Premji and Indian Space Research Organisation M Madhavan Nair. Congress general secretary Rahul Gandhi is ranked 29th in the survey published in the March edition ofReader's Digest that hit the stands Tuesday. *Others in the top 10 list of India's most trusted Indians are former police officer Kiran Bedi (3rd), Infosys co-founder Narayana Murthy (4th), music composer A.R. Rahman (5th) and cartoonist R.K. Laxman (9th).* Among India's most trusted professions, teachers are at the top, followed rather surprisingly by firefighters and farmers follow at number three. Scientists and members of the armed forces share fourth position, with doctors at sixth, pilots at seventh, pilots at seventh, surgeons at eighth, nurses at ninth and engineers at 10th. At the bottom end of the scale of 40 most trusted professions are religious leaders (35), lawyers (36), police officers (37), government officials (38), realtors (39) and politicians (40). The survey was conducted online by market research firm Digital Edge that sent out 5,000 invitations, with 761 people responding by the cutoff date, Digest editor Mohan Sivanandan told IANS on the phone from Mumbai. The survey covered 30 cities, with two-thirds of the respondents being under 35, possessing a bachelor's degree and three-fourth's male, he added. Given this, Sivanandan has added a caveat in his editorial in the Digest. Although we cannot claim this survey to be absolutely scientific, you'll agree with me that the overall results mirror public perceptions fairly accurately. Equally interesting are the views and explanations from experts. On a personal note, I don't have cause to rejoice, because journalists are ranked 30th among 40 professions, just below plumbers, the editorial says. Thus, the survey has more than its share of surprises, with cricket captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni ranked at 42nd, way below shooter Abhinav Bindra (25th), while tennis star Sania Mirza is at 81st. The respondents gave a massive thumbs down to politicians and sports administrators. Bharatiya Janata Party leader L.K. Advani is at 94, Railway Minister Mamata Banerjee at 96, Agriculture Minister Sharad Pawar at 97, Communist Party of India-Marxist general secretary Prakash Karat at 98 and former railway minister Lalu Prasad at 99. Indian Premier League commissioner Lalit Modi is just one notch above Advani. Bollywood and the small screen have their share of places with actors Amitabh Bachchan and Aamir Khan at 14 and 18 respectively, with TV comic Jaspal Bhatti at 43, scriptwriter Javed Akhtar at 46, Shah Rukh Khan at 53, Sushmita Sen at 64, Rajnikanth at 67, Kamal Haasan at 71, director Anurag Kashyap at 78, Malayalam actor Mohanlal at 80, Aishwarya Rai Bachchan at 82 and TV serial producer Ekta Kapoor at 95. Among the other surprises in the list, President Pratibha Patil is ranked way below at 67, Planning Commission Deputy Chairman Montek Singh Ahluwalia at 41, Home Minister P. Chidambaram at 50, novelist Khushwant Singh at 51 and environmentalist R.K. Pachauri at 61 along with CNN-IBN Editor-in-Chief Rajdeep Sardesai. Congress president Sonia Gandhi is at 72, Finance Minister Pranab Mukherjee at 73, Minister of State for External Affairs Shashi Tharoor at 84, Leader of Opposition in the Rajya Sabha Arun Jaitley at 86, Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi at 87 and Jammu and Kashmir Chief Minister Omar Abdullah at 89.

Due to internet we the fans of arr came closer and whenever we got the news from many fans Around the world that they have done some kind of activities for the society and the needy people It has induced us to do some social service from our side. We have formed arr fans club in *coimbatore* in the name “Rahman *Bloods of coimbatore*” and *Mr.bala* Was the main initiator for to form the group and many people joined and Started contributing and it has developed as a good team. We have done few activities in small scale initially and that’s the time we came to know about the tree plantation Program in tiruppur by “Isha Yoga centre”.Isha yoga were planning to plant more trees and the concept kicked off from tiruppur Which is called as the export city of tamilnadu. They will plant the tree and look after the tree till it grows well as the tree has to be taken care For the initial period and will name the tree in the name of the person who has donated which is a nominal charge. We the fans of arr decided to contribute and donated isha yoga to plant four trees in tirupur on behalf of *Our brother A.R.Rahman,his mother and H.Shridhar*. So two trees was contributed in the name of our anna and one by his mothers name and another in the name Of shridhar sir. Last week we got a letter from isha yoga thanking for the contribution and they have mentioned the locality Where the trees has been plant.We will send u the scanned copy of the letter sent by them soon.The trees will spread the names of arr,his mother,shridhar forever. *Mr.Vignesh and Mr.indrakumar* were the important persons co-ordinating for this cause under the support of fellow Members. As anna’s b’day is approaching and isha yoga having centres in many parts of the country wants to spread this Program to a larger extent,contributing to this cause in ur city atleast planting a tree in the name of arr will help the society In future.u can also plan for this activity for his forth coming b’day Kindly contact isha yoga in ur city and contribute for a tree.

It's not as if I coined it on the spot for *Slumdog Millionaire*, says Gulzar saab after hearing that '*Jai Ho*' has been nominated on Thursday in prestigious category of 'Best Song Written For A Motion Picture' at the Grammys. '*Jai Ho*' is a term that is as ancient as it is sacrosanct. I would sound extremely foolish if I took any credit for that phrase or for the success of that song. The entire credit must go to Rahman and Rahman alone. He has taken our popular sounds to an international level. On hearing of his song '*Jai Ho*' being nominated for the coveted Grammy, the song's writer Gulzar saab makes a startling observation and suggestion. Both me and Rahman have done work that has been like before. What makes '*Jai Ho*' special was that it was part of a non-Indian film. *Slumdog Millionaire * is not an Indian film. Just like *Gandhi* was not. We need to understand that international recognition comes to us when India is packaged into a non-Indian vehicle. Slumdog Millionaire could vie for mainstream American and European awards because it was an international film. Otherwise our films like *Neecha Nagar, Mother India, Do Beegha Zameen* and the films of Mrinal Sen and Satyajit Ray have been nominated in the 'foreign' categories. Gulzar saab has a suggestion. Let's have a category for best foreign cinema in our National awards so that we too have a chance to recognize films made outside India. As for '*Jai Ho*' acquiring a life much longer than the film, Gulzar saab says, When I wrote '*Jai Ho*' I was looking for a phrase that would best represent Indian sentiments. That it's now gone from the Oscars where movies are honoured, to the Grammys where music gets recognized, is an amazing journey for '*Jai Ho*'. Like I said it's from the Ramayan to Rahman. I will take no credit for it. http://www.bollywoodhungama.com/features/2009/12/07/5753/ -- regards, Vithur

[arr] In Fond Memory of Sridhar Sir..
On the 28th of November, 11 of us(fans of AR) took time out of our routine to Donate lunch to kids at an Orphanage in Chennai and spent some time there. This was initiated in fond memory of the Great sound engineer Mr. H. Sridhar, who passed away an year back. The orphanage was a small one and managed by a trust by name, Kaakum Karangal. There were a total of 60 people taken care by the trust of which there were 30 Boys, 20 Girls and 10 elderly people. We sponsored the day's lunch for them and it was a special meal with sweets, and other savories. We went there by about 1 in the afternoon. We thought we could serve, but as it turned out they had a completely different system of service, a highly disciplined and military style; the children were made to sit in 4 rows with plates in their hand. And the food was kept at one end with 2 elderly people serving it. The kids took their turns, in a very orderly fashion, to get the food. They were served by the elders. After filling their plates they sat in their place. Once they settled with the food, they gave a 2 minutes' prayer, all reciting aloud. It was so good to witness 60 people saying out the prayer aloud. Sent out so much positive vibes. :) After that they sat there, happily eating. We could see that joy in their eyes and that was joy to us. Food filling their stomach and our hearts..

Re: [arr] The Significance of ARR's White House Invitation
Good write up.. And yeah, the last thing AR would want is to be recognised when he takes a walk on the streets of LA. :D On Wed, Nov 25, 2009 at 12:26 PM, ichord purev...@yahoo.com wrote: As ARR fans, we are of course pleased that ARR was allowed to showcase osme of his talents in a very exclusive atmosphere at the White House State Dinner, the first one under the Obama administration. The larger picture of this struck me when I read a FB post of another ARR fan who mentioned its significance. Was ARR the logical/default choice of a performer given the Indian/American partnership being celebrated at The White House? One could argue that. But, I think the fact that ARR was selected alongside a list of very popular and distinguished artists highlights his overall esteemed status in the West post Slumdog, largely because of Slumdog, but not just because of Slumdog. ARR is now a brand name, exclusivity personified when it comes to high quality popular Indian music, and recently his musical entrance into hollywood with Couple's Retreat being met with overall praise and appreciation by both East and West only adds to his towering resume. In India, he has always been a celebrity since Roja, but now, even in the West, he has achieved celebrity status through his accolades and efforts, which will continue to be appreciated as he continues to build on his hollywood career. While he is not a household name in the US and will likely never reach public celebrity status like superstar pop musicians (which to me is a good thing!), the global respect and admiration for his work is right up there amongst the musical elite around the world. No other MD in India has achieved this before. How fitting that India's Mozart be recognized world wide, but to me, it's not a given that he would achieve this. While I had always hoped and prayed that his talents would be recognized outside of India, I was very cautious about my hopes, since it's not talent alone that achieves this, but the right timing, smart decision making, marketing, personal relationship skills, attitude, contacts, and little bit of good ol good luck. I hope that the Obamas get a chance to delve into ARR's music beyond Slumdog and uncover more musical riches.

Chandralekha sounds best in Tamil, known fact. Hence. The other songs were in Hindi only. Chandralekha in Hindi did not sound too good in Delhi..the tamil portions were way better.

One could see how much fun AR had while singing Fiqrana... He was into it! The way he was touching the Fiqrna notes... he was so enjoying it! let's give it him..he created the song... will post the entry video soon..forgetting lyrics is a part of the live show business..and that's another beauty..how ARR can hum it off or alaap it off! I totally enjoy the live act! :) Mausan and escape start was nothing but some jamming session..to create a build up for the act to follow.. Rehna tu.. he usually hums the entire continuum, those who attended the previous shows must be familiar..this time he played the harmonica on it.. something unusual.. sounded good..maybe vocally he went off and came back at some places..but was a good performance.. he would actually touch higher notes in this song... Naveen was there for the bombay theme..the singers were not there..and this was only to support the Visual credits on the LEDs..

Audience just gone crazy after this *Singing tamil songs in West bangla was a BIG MISTAKE* , it was like a foreign film without subtitle to atleast 95 % of them present there,i loved Atthiradi . . As i was a huge fan of dis powerpacked song,but west bangla Audience couldnt just relate to it,only i was shouting the song from the crowd,and i could see ppl were in a shock,they never heard of this and allmost all tamil tracks (that is what i felt being there,and being a bengali. . .forgive me if therz any exception). . .when i was singing all tamil songs,ppl around me was looking at me weirdly,may b wondering how this long haired boy can sing in this weird language,as they heard me talking in bangla as well [?] . . .

Hariharan's Nahin samne stole hearts of Classical lovers of west bangla,saw one old guy beside me enjoyin it fully. .. . I dnt need to comment on Hariharan's performance at concerts. . .he is always perfect. Delhi6 title track and then jiya se jiya made the mass crowd cheer up after nahin samne. . .but there was some mistakes in both these tracks,happens in a live performance . . Nevamind. Then lady lush came with killer dancing performance with Liquid dance . . Audience (including me) were in shock to see this kinda dance in a ARR concert,it was just WOW . . Then the Bangla track Ekla cholo . . I knew it will b played here. . .thought Nachiketa ,the main singer of the Bangla part of dis song would b there,ppl would just love it. . He is da ARR of west bangla. . .but Javed ali was more than perfect in accent and singing both sonu nachiketa's part. .

Awesome stuff. . .but ARR's performance in those sa re ga ma part was bad . .
