Rah"MAN"

Music really transcends age, sex, race and geographical borders. Rahman got the Golden Globe for his music in Slumdog. Finally, a world wide recognition, not that he needed one. He truly came out as the top 'dog' in music. The song for which he won the award goes "jai ho" and is totally apt for him too. Jai Ho (means praise be to) Rahman for achieving this honor for self and India. For decades he made us hum, sing and dance to his music be it Roja, Dil Se, Yuuvraj, Minsara Kanavu, Rang De Basanti, theme music of Airtel or the national anthem and still continues to do so with Delhi 6. Now, he is making the 'globe' dance. I know a one year old baby boy whose eyes and face lights up when he listens to Rahman's music. Now, that is Music.
The history of music will be re-written as before Rahman and after Rahman.
Oscar - here comes the Man. Rah'man'.
