I would like to share with you, the joy of what seems to be a comeback of my dear friend Vipin ‘slow-motion’ Venugopalan from a self-proclaimed exile in Kerala after having a patchy phase in the crowded yet lost and lonely city of Mumbai.
Here Vipin does an impromptu recording of his version of the A.R.Rahman [...]
It was way back in 2004 that I attended A.R.Rahman’s Unity of Light Concert and its nostalgia still montages in my mind. I still remember in 2004, in Pune a famous cable operator had put small banners all around the city announcing A.R.Rahman Live Coming Soon! Keen to know if he would be in town [...]
I had vowed never to watch A.R.Rahman perform live for reasons many, but I was forced to come into the concert coz my family wanted to witness the concert, and they wouldn’t go without me.
The concert was an audio visual spectacle and a never before seen act that Rahman and his crew had put up. [...]
Today, A.R.Rahman is a name known world over, thanks to Slumdog Millionaire and the awards and nominations its bagged. Like everyone here in India, I have known him and his music right from the time Roja was released in 1992.. thats a good 17 years.
Everyone speaks of his music, and what he eats, sleeps, drinks and what he does when he is free and so on so forth. But really, there are things much beyond that that one needs to know and learn from the legend that A.R.Rahman is. With so many many people who speak so high of him at all times, there are some things that are unsaid and certain things that we so easily ignore about Rahman, that makes him stand apart from the clutter.
The musical genius that Rahman is, most of that comes from his being and principles. Rahman’s success presents some valuable tips every person can apply to his professional life in an effort to help him achieve his goals.
And on that note, with the little that I know of him, I would share some of the learnings from A.R.Rahman.
