New Golden Boy of India

Many of you might know my love for Hindi music. I equally do like Marathi and English music, selectively though. And being a big fan of A R Rahman how could I not write about it on this special occassion, both for ARR and for the country!

With the Golden Globe for the music in the much discussed, much more criticized "SlumDog Millionaire", now ARR is, for sure one of the most respected musicians across the globe. He has already done number of international assignments but this is really a special one.

And the award for this music-maestro brings everyone the joy and recognition for the music industry that India has awaited for over a half century. And yet feet firm on the ground, as humble and simple as he always has been, Rahman dedicates his award to his countrymen.
Three cheers for the new golden boy of the nation.
