It was 'Spirit of Unity Concerts for National Integration' airing every Sunday 
at 10 in the morning. I used to watch it religiously even before I heard Roja. 
I never cared to check the credit list at the end to see who composed the title 
music, though I used to like it very much. It was only after the 'roja 
experience' one day when the program started I thought that it must be by ARR. 
Then only I checked the credits at the end and came to know that it was by A. 
R. Rahman. As far as I can remember, he was not credited as 'Dileep Kumar'. 
Later probably they had felicitated him and included the footage also during 
the begining or ending credits.

Now lemme share my experience..
 though i was a kid probably studying in 3 rd or 4 th i used to like 
hearing to gud music. My father used to tell me a lot about illayaraja. I used 
to hear his music a lot. Then on a sunday i was watching " the sprit of unity " 
( i may be wrong with the name) program in dd. Wow the music was magical. I 
asked my dad who the music director was. My dad had to wait till the next week 
to see the credits of the program and answer me. It was ar rahman. the name 
sort of mixed in my heart and i never used to miss the program( i still wonder 
now , ARR 's name would have been Dheleep kumar then but how did i know his 
name then!!) . 
 I was in 5 th standard, my sister bought an audio cassett and it 
was Roja. i was not really interested. i was looking at the cassette cover and 
i found the music dir to be rahman..wow!! i then suerly knew that it would be 
magical. I  started to hear it. Right frm the very 1st sec till the last i was 
in heaven.
That was the only time i did not buy a Rahman audio. 
I was also present in the chennai concert organised by marg last month.

Hi All, 
Nice to read everyone's first experience of listening ARR.

I Unconsciously listened ARR from Roja time.
Roja used to be telecasted on DD1 every 15 August.
I used to wait for the part where BGM comes, the one which is the
beggining of Roja Janeman song.

Consciously i started listening ARR from Zubeidaa.
The song used to come on radio and i loved it.
Later on i found out that it was a Shyam Benegal film, the director
was my most favorite one. Because of that i bought Cassette.
Came to know about A R Rahman and the process started; the end of

Almost the same for me, Siraj.

I was studying 5th std on that time. I had a chance to listen to 
Chinna Chinna asai on Radio(AIR)on  a Golden day! From that day 
onwards I was infected by his music. But I never knew the music 
director name. After two to three years later I had a chance to 
listen Gentleman, then I came to his name as A.R.Rahman. 

After that this name makes my life something meaningful!!!

Because I always hope, if you are a listner to good music, you will 
be having good behaviours; As like as our BOSS.

With Reagrds,
Mathan raj A
