Hi all, For a long time of my life i was in Jaipur ( a city with not much of rahman fans). I came down to Bangalore with a hope that I have a lot of ppl from this place who admire rahman as much as i do. Unfortunatley, I found that there is no much fan activity out here too! :( Can we all fans in bangalore meet up on a weekend? Please post those who can spare their time for the legend of our lifetime. Would really appriciate if we meet up once in a couple of months. Gopal - Can we work out and meet on a weekend when u are in bangalore? All - Please feel free to contact me on 9886730089, so that we can discuss and meet up! Regards, Varun

[arr] : Rahman the Golden Age : HT Interview..
Not sure if this was posted before... here goes an interview which was posted on hindustan times last week.. Last Saturday, he rocked New Delhi, absolutely `live' at an HT concert.. even as he maintains his position of the No 1 music whiz of the nation. What keeps him bettering himself? What are the pleasures and the pains encountered on his beat route? So, here's AR Rahman in a freespinning interview with V Ananth Whatever happened to your unruly locks? When I went for Haj, I shaved off my long hair. Fortunately or unfortunately, my wife liked my new look.. she insisted that I should keep it. (Laughs) I had no other alternative but to listen to my wife. Does your style of composing music change when you do an international project like Elizabeth: The Golden Age? The music for Elizabeth.. has been co-composed by me. When Shekhar started the project, he wanted to make it very artistic and dark. But then, he decided to make the film more entertaining.. and the music more pulsating. As a composer, I'd say music stems from one's emotions. So, there's absolutely no difference in my approach, whether I'm composing for Jodhaa Akbar or Elizabeth. When you look back, how do you assess your music? "As a composer, I'd say music stems from one's emotions. So, there's absolutely no difference in my approach, whether I'm composing for Jodhaa Akbar or Elizabeth"Roja set the standard for me as a composer. And frankly, I can't guage where to go after Elizabeth. Let's see.. at this very point of time, I'm very excited about my next international album - The Lord of The Rings which will be released on December 10. It has many as 15 tracks. As much as 20,000 pounds would be spent a day on the orchestration. I believe you have started your own music company. Yes. It's called K M Musiq. I'm really kicked about it. All these years, I was being commissioned by others.. now I can commission others. But it seems you now insist on royalty for every music score..which is why you couldn't compose for Om Shanti Om. In life, you can't have your cake and eat it too. You have to take certain risks to reach your goal. Which have been your most vital steps ahead? Undoubtedly Vande Mataram and the score for the stage musical Bombay Dreams. What do you find wrong with the Indian film music industry? There are several problems. The saddest thing is that no one takes acoustic instruments seriously. Most musicians just prefer to work on keyboards. But I've stopped getting angry. One should be true to one's own self.. because one candle can light a million. "I work at night, occasionally , whenever I'm dealing with a jet lag situation, not otherwise."Do you still work like an owl all night and sleep by day? That's rubbish! If that was true, I wouldn't be sitting here with you doing an inteview in the afternoon. I work at night, occasionally , whenever I'm dealing with a jet lag situation, not otherwise. How busy are you as a music director right now? I'm into a somewhat more relaxed pace now. There was a time when I'd be doing six Tamil and two to three Hindi films a year. How many Tamil films are you working on at this point of time? (Laughs) Ha! That's a good question. I wish I knew the answer. I'm doing two Tamil films Sultan, the animation film being made by Rajnikant's daughter Soundarya and Prabhu's Sakkarakkatti. And Hindi films? Well, let me see. Gajini, Ada, Jaane Tu Naa Jaane Naa, Delhi 6, the Hindi dubbed version of the Rajnikant movie Sivaji, Subhash Ghai's Main Hoon Yuvraj and Ashutosh Gowariker's Jodhaa Akbar. You were against the idea of composing for dubbed films. So, how did you make an exception for Sivaji? You're right there.I don't encourage the dubbing of my songs in other languages. Yes, so Sivaji is an exception. It has beaty foot-tapping music which should connect on an all-India level. You are often accused of working for big production banners at the cost of small films. Sorry, that isn't true at all. Otherwise, I wouldn't be doing Sakkarakkatti which is a small film. Are you composing the music for an animation film called Cockroach being planned by Shekhar Kapur? Yes. I'm excited about that. Animation films allow your imagination to take flight. What do you like about your music? That's a tricky question. If I say I like my music, I'll be blowing my own trumpet. And if I say I don't like my music, I'll sound disgruntled. "Some people have unfairly jumped to the conclusion that Aamir and I've had a fight because I haven't done Taare Zameen Par. The fact is that I was committed to several films when Aamir asked me." Some film producers in the South have accused you of recruiting Hindi singers to do the playback for your Tamil films at their cost. I will gladly plead guilty of that because I don't believe in parochialism. On the other hand, if I feel that a Tamil singer suits the need of a Hindi film song, I'll take that rou
