Hi Bergin, Nice to read your experience. It's true that Rahman's music is best for startup and it keeps you charged whole day :) My alram tone (on SonyEric w800i) always include A R Rahman's music. My most favourites are 'Geeta's theme' (Swades) & 'Yeh Jo des hai tera'instrumental. Also love Kisna theme, starting of 'Ey hairathe', Bombay theme etc. But my latest favourite is 'Sahana' slow version. Truly, it's a masterpiece tune by ARR, with pleasant flute and vocal ambience that charges u emotionally whole day... ;)
