Jai Ho A.R.Rahman

I was blessed, I thought, to see my most favorite Music Composer with Golden Globe in his hands and with that humble smile. How I felt when I heard him saying 'God was so kind to me' - got goosebumps all over.

Look at this man, standing their tall, the sole Indian ever to reach that stage and get the hands to that coveted award but still humble & with his trademark shyness. I admire that in him a lot.

I wouldn't want to talk about whether the song 'Jai Ho' for which he got the Golden Globe is really his masterpiece, no never. I'm sure there are & will be many people talking on that topic. But what I want, rather every Indian movie freak dream about, is to see an Indian movie personality win in the Oscars. I'd say A.R.Rahman is gonna make that dream come true for every Indian. Again, the point is not whether he is being awarded for his masterpiece or the best of all songs/background scores that came out last year but the global recognition for Indian movies & Indian technicians.

For now all I can say is Jai Ho A.R.Rahman and bring home the most coveted Oscar to India. We're waiting for that golden moment.
