And I am sure there would be no ending. People follow music religiously. And there are others who take up music as a profession and/or as a hobby. They learn music in different forms. Perform in various stages. Make a living out of it. And there are others who just listen to music. People have different tastes when it comes to music. Some like classical, some like rock, some like reggae and some like jazz. But there are a set of people who would listen to anything that comes their way. But when it comes to listening to a man's composition, they would leave aside everything else. These people would dedicate their lives for one cause – being a Rahmaniac. There is only one religion that they follow – Rahman's music. They call him Boss. And no points for guessing who their God is. I know, it is crazy calling a human being God. But craziness comes to them naturally. The amount of pride these people take in being a Rahmaniac is bewildering. They would have first hand information of his compositions. What movies he has signed, what song is coming next, researching deep into each one of his compositions – they take all this up as their duty. Following Rahman in his concerts, buying original CDs on the first day of music release, posting their thoughts in various groups are all part of their duties. They do it blindly. Once you are a Rahmaniac, there is no looking back. You have to catch up with every composition of his'. And defending every composition of his too when people accuse that the songs are not up to Rahman's standard. It is mighty hard for them to accept that any Rahman composition can be ordinary. Ask them what the one thing is that you want to do in life. The answer would be simple –Meet the Boss! One of the things you would notice about rahmaniacs is all of them would have their status message reflecting his song names/movie names etc. It is not to show off their craziness. They do not know any other way in which they can express the happiness, bliss, eternal piece they feel while listening to a his album. And the pleasure you get when you play the CD for the first time, is unmatched. The CD would be played in loop. And on each round of listening, the music grows on you. Slow nectar, they call it. There are other songs/compositions too which would be like cocaine – would shoot up to the brain straight. These people need no drugs to follow the music. His music in itself would take the effect.

I tell them I have been their atleast a thousand times – each time I hear Arziyan. I thought that had to be the best composition of the year. But along came Passage. The moment I heard Tango, I was paralyzed. I could not understand the emotion that I was going through. From happiness to fear to anger to sorrow, I felt them all together at a single point.
