A. R. Rehman the nominee for an Oscar award for his music in the film, Slum dog Millionaire is from my city Chennai, India. He has already won the Golden Globe award 2009 for best original musical score for the same film. I ‘m proud to say that I’m an ardent fan of A. R. Rehman.

This music legend A. R. Rehman lost his father when he was just 9 years old. His father was a musician too. A. R. Rehman showed extraordinary skills on the key board when he was a school-going boy. He began to work as a key board player with great Tamil film music directors such as Ilaya Raja during his teen age.

Then he started to compose music jingles for famous advertising companies in India. In the early 90’s he got an opportunity to compose music for the film “Roja” directed by India’s top film director Mani Ratnam. After that, there was no looking back for this musical genius.

Here is the video of one of the songs from his first film Roja.(This music was very different at that time)



Here is another song that made every one to dance.



Here is another song with totally different music.



Here is the video of his song from Oscar nomination Slum dog Millionaire.



A.R.Rehman is a perfectionist. He never compromises his music for anything. He bagged many Tamil Nadu state awards and national awards. He came into international limelight with his music in the film, Slum dog millionaire.

He practiced Hindu religion till he converted into Islam in 1989. He was not popular then. He is a firm believer of God.

Whenever he gets a new award he humbly says “all the glory to God”.

I’m sure A.R.Rehman would reach greater heights in international music. This music wizard has millions of fans around the world. Every Indian is proud of A. R. Rehman.

I love his music. I love him more as a person. He has silently engaged in many social service activities. He is a great key board player, good guitarist and pianist. He is one of the best film music directors India produced. He is also a very good singer.
I’ m sure with the grace of God, Rehman will win the Oscar in 2009 for his music score in Slum dog Millionaire.

ABOVE ALL, HE IS A GREAT HUMAN.


We should have ambitious dreams for great things right from the start of our life in school. Wait, I am not going to ask you to dream about your lover in this article. Such dreams will follow naturally during your youth, with out any help from anyone.

Dream here means your aim in life. We definitely should have some dreams in life.

You may dream to become a software engineer, a doctor, a political leader or any other personality of your choice. It is a MUST. If you start to travel
without deciding on your destination, where will you go? Nowhere?

Therefore, dear friends, let us start to dream if you have not already embarked on this journey. That is the first step to success. Then you should develop a killer attitude to attain your goal. The flaming will to succeed should be burning within you. No matter what, it should be a great flame, which cannot be easily put off. Sometimes great people acquired this killer attitude after being insulted by someone in their lives.

You should acquire as much knowledge as possible, in the department you want to achieve. This will boost your confidence in a big way. Then you will need lots of determination, and hard work, with your sights set to achieving this goal.

You will love your work, and hence will never feel tired working, maybe even harder than others do. You will never give up until success embraces you one day. Achieving success should be your motivation.

Most of us simply waste our precious time without an aim and a killer attitude. We need to wake up from our ignorance as early as possible, motivate ourselves to follow our goals in life.



So, dear friends, let us dream to wake up from the sleep of ignorance and push ourselves ahead to achieve our purpose in life. All other things will automatically fall in place.

Preaching is always easy but to follow the good qualities in daily life is not that easy. You need to have a strong and mature mind to forgive the mistakes of others. Forgiving is a powerful tool which really helps to save a marriage, a love relationship, a partnership in a business, a friendship and many other relationships.

Are we willing and ready to forgive those who make mistakes and affect our happiness or progress in life? No, we are not at all ready to forgive. On the other hand, we often criticize their mistakes and destroy the relationships. It does not mean that we never forgive anybody.

We do forgive our children whatever mistakes they commit. Why is it possible for us to forgive the bigger mistakes of our children while we cannot forgive even the ordinary mistakes of others? It is because we consider our children as part of our body and soul. We are ready with excuses to forgive ourselves very easily even if we make great mistakes in our lives. Similarly, we can forgive our children, as they are a part of us.

We started to forgive our children when they slapped our cheeks with a shining smile when they were infants. We became used to forgive our children from that stage onwards.

The surprising fact is that we cannot forgive our spouses as we do our children. After all the spouse is the one whom we unite with body and soul. The spouse is the one who is going to be with us through thick and thin until the end of our life. Yet how many of us can forgive the better halves if they commit serious mistakes?

I shall put it in a very simple way now. You need abundant love with somebody to forgive him/her. Now my question is why many persons cannot forgive their spouses? Don’t they have real love in them? Or is it just the chemistry of lust only works between them? I will leave it to you to answer.



Let us begin our sincere love with the spouse, extend it with our children, parents, relatives, friends, others, animals and the Universe. Life will be more peaceful, joyous and meaningful then. Remember forgiving is the best giving.



Once there was an old man by the name of Sathyamurthy. His wife and he lived in an extremely small hut in a small village near Madurai. Though he was very poor, his heart was rich and warm ready to help others whenever there was a need.

His hut was very small and just about enough for the couple to sleep in.

One stormy night, just as the couple had retired to bed, they heard a knock at the door. Now, there were great flashes of lightning followed by loud peals of thunder enough to wake the dead. It had been raining heavily and continually for a long time. Who would be knocking in this weather; unless of course it was someone who wanted shelter for the night? Surmising so, he told his wife he wanted to help whomever the person outside the hut.

His wife said, “But dear, we cannot accommodate another person here, this hut is just adequate for the two of us to lie on the floor”.

He told her with a smile on his face, “honey, if there is space in your heart, there would be space here too. This hut is just adequate for both of us to lie on the floor; nevertheless, it is a big enough place for three persons to sit in.”

Hearing this, she reluctantly opened the door, and let the stranger in. The three sat on the floor, and after having some tea they continued to spend the night that way.

After an hour, there was another knock on the door. The old man in his kindness said, he wanted to see who was at the door bearing down on them in this inclement weather, and if needed to help him as best he could.

The stranger then said, “I respect your kind heart sir, but there is no space here”.

The old man repeated what he had earlier said to his wife, “If there is space in your heart my dear friend, there will be space here too”. He further added, “We are now sitting very comfortably, ok, let him come in and we will manage by sitting close to each other till morning.”

The other man too was invited inside, and they all sat very close to each other, resigned to spend the rest of the time, sharing in the warmth and love of the old man and leaving the cold outside to the stormy night.

After a while, they heard a sound at the door. Going out to see what caused it the old man was moved to see a donkey, struggling to beat the heavy rain by trying to shelter against the hut. The old man then wanted to help this poor animal to some comfort too.

However, when all others protested he said, “We can all stand and give space to the donkey, or if you do not like the idea, I will give my place to it and stand outside the hut.”

Hearing this, they were surprised at his kindness and all of them unanimously accepted his proposal.

There are always some kind-hearted persons living in almost every place.

I know a person who used to go to a hotel every Sunday. He would order the hotel to give food to the beggars sitting outside. He informed the hotel that he would meet the bill for whatever food they ate. He never exposed his identity to anyone. The beggars never knew who that kind person was, who offered them the best food in their lives. What a great man. He probably derives happiness by seeing them happy.

It is true that we cannot help others like Mother Teresa did. However, we can help a few people within our capacity.

Parse people practice a strange custom. They do not bury or cremate their dead bodies. They simply leave it to the vultures. They think the dead men will live on in the lives of the birds and help them to live.

Let us try to help others whenever we are able, to live a little bit better in this wonderful world. Though the help we can offer may be small, our hearts should always be big. The biggest happiness in life perhaps is making others happy.

A person who does not see it fit to help anyone is no better than a corpse.

We can donate our eyes and live on even after our death.

Have a great day with no storms in your life and let us leave our heart lobby open always.
