NonStopTimes wishes A.R.Rahman on his 47th birthday

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 18 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.



5 things to learn from A.R.Rahman

1. Respect your parents

2. Be spiritually inclined

3. Don’t leave your soul

4. Let your work speak for itself

5. Be Humble. Be Honest. Be Simple.

                                                                     

Happy Birthday to A.R.Rahman
