Rahman himself has given that statement 'My music is still a tiny drop in a mighty ocean'... that is his humbleness, he only can make that statement, that's why we are dedicated fans to not only for his music, but also for his philosophy towards life.
But why we will accept others telling that for Rahman??? If one fine day some musician is telling the same about Rahman will you accept? Then why we will accept similar statement from common ppl/fans???
