Excerpts Chinmayi It is always a pleasure to work under him. Every recording has been a learning experience. He has experimented with my voice to various levels. Undoubtedly, he is my second guru. I am absolutely sure of him winning the Oscars.. He deserves it. All my prayers and wishes. Can’t wait to congratulate him. Devan No words to speak about him. According to me, he is a landmark musician in Indian history. Has taken Indian music to Global Level. Slum Dog Millionairemusic was phenomenal .The love theme was brilliant in it. Rahman, should have won Oscar way back forLagaan, and I'm sure he'll win it this time. Vijay Yesudas I consider myself so lucky for having worked with him. Now he's in a bigger place. Recently I read in a magazine about him being one of the jury members for a show concerning the physically challenged. I read in that about him mentioning, how the physically challenged enjoy life much more than we do pointing out the pressure and stress which we undergo day to day. At a position where he is, he needn't actually do all this. He's become a role model and an inspiration for millions of people including me. He's taken Indian to an international level and as a musician he gets the whole credit for what he is. I conveyed my wishes to him through an SMS and e-mail hearing the news and hope it reached him. My family and I, pray for him to get bigger and bigger with his simplicity ,modesty maintained despite being a maestro.. Premji Amaran He's amazing. Very Very talented and simply great. I've met him twice during functions till now. He was our guest for Saroja's audio release. In SDM, i could see his style and what the film needed was given by him to perfection. Am his die hard fan and I am 100% sure he'll win the Oscars. Harish Rahavendra Since 1993, his growth has had no recession. He went up right at the start and has gone up every level with no looking back. I am honestly, astonished by his achievement. His success is a very big boost to all his fans that any Indian can reach to any level. I wish him more and more success. Of the 3 nominations, i am definitely sure he'll at least bag two. Rahul Nambiar I've worked with him for background scores. He's amazingly hardworking. He takes complete ownership of every little work despite having his hands full all the time. I’ve seen him at 3am and 4am in the morning working. He'll walk into the studio, and within ten to fifteen minutes of composing come up with an excellent piece. I feel as felt by him too, that its got to do with a spiritual aspect he has. Whatever he does, has some intangible part attached. I've felt that though his songs are simple, there is something in him which makes it successful and top class. Am not sure if SDM is his best album so far as I feel he's done better works before. Neverthless, SDM will surely get him the Oscar. http://sify.com/movies/fullstory.php?id=14856140
