you know what A.R Rahman did?

A.R rahman wins oscar. his remarkable musical journey had hit a high note with this unprecedented victory. this musical genius has left an indellible impression in world music."rahman nominated for oscars"..all the news channels flashed this breaking news.rahman was the busiest man ever after the oscar nomination.at this juncture rahman did a wonderful humanitarian deed which is unimaginable.will let you know that incident at the end of this blog.

rahman lured the entire generation with his magical compositions.he is an infallible music composer who comes out with a new innovation in every song.humility and discipline this is what makes rahman so special.at the time of oscar nomination the nation was focussing only on his achievements and every newspaper and magazine carried his interview or some article related to rahman..but uniquely i wanted to meet the reasonable person behind this successful man.who else this could be? undoubtedly his mother kareema begaum.she spoke to me in an interview to my magazine about rahman's arduous musical journey..

"rahman does'nt know anything other than music"mumbles rahman's mom exactly like him."he had very few friends, had never hung out with his friends and absolutely no fun that a regular teenager of his age would have.he would be always in his room composing music.he kept working very hard without expecting anything in return.'amma,let me work hard,success will defnetly come on my own way"..this is often told by rahman to me .remembers kareema madam

stunned by his achievement, world is happily celebrating.but his mother worried about rahman not eating properly."i will be happy only when i see my son eating at the right time.he skips his meal and sometimes even forget to eat though he is fond of my cooking" says this simple mother.when asked about slumdog glory..she says an interesting incident."when he was 5 year old he participated in a doordarshan channel's musiacal programme 'wonderbaloon". in that programme rahman played 3 keyboard at a time.when that programme was telecasted rahman was talk of our little town.rahman had the habit of surprising the audience at a tender age.and now slumdog millionaire is the talk.the world is excited but rahman is at his next film's recording.he does'nt take success to his head,this is an important lesson that i personaly learnt from my son"..signs off rahman's mom kareema begum with a humble smile.

coming back to that incident which i mentioned earlier..at the time of oscar nominations,when the world was applauding this maestro,there was a call from rahman himself from newyork to my magazine's photographer.he asked for one of our late senior reporter's contact number.that reporter died due to severe illness.he used to take rahman's interview everytime.rahman contacted this reporter's wife enquired about him,expressed his condolence and apologised for not attenting his funeral.just imagine..rahman would have had innumerable work when he was on top of the world.remembering a simple reporter at that time is simply superb.i was touched by his humility.this humanity in him makes him a special lovable humanbeing.rahman is unimaginably humble inspite of being an extraordinary winner.
