Treated like the GOD of music industry, he is definitely my most favourite too :) Of course I do like so many compostions by Ilairaja. He is just unbeatable. There is no way the two of them can be compared. They are the best in their own ways:)
It was Arr's period when I grew up. Think kids of my age grew up listening to his hits the most. It was like a dream to meet him or rather see one of his performances in live. Me n my sister usually try to irritate each other by telling some of the coolest things we did and try making the other person jealous:P About a year back or something, she went for an ARR concert at St Louis or I'm not sure if it was Chicago. The next time she called me up, she tried to show off that she got to see Arr live in concert. Though I acted as if I didn't care, deep inside I was jealous obviously:) This was history. Comes April 2008, Times of India came to Chennai, as a part of their promos they got Arr to perform live in Chennai, and gave away complimentary tickets with the newspaper. Like expected, the tickets got over in no time. I heard this from my friend and asked if he could help me out with a ticket. It was during my semester study holidays, but I didn't care much:P This was once in a lifetime opportunity and I sure didn't want to miss it:)Thanks to my friend and his friend who got me a ticket for the show and yayyy I was going to see A R Rahman- LIVE .. THE DAY- Thankfully, it wasn't as crowded as I imagined, so we did get to breathe:) Concert was great. ARR, so you can imagine:) It was like a dream come true seeing him perform live. Definitely one of the best moments in my life:) And now this is for my sis-> I didn't have to travel to the other side of the globe and didn't have to spend a penny to watch the concert. So yay..:D And here, some of the live moments i captured with great difficulty:) http://just-lik-that.blogspot.com/2008/07/r-rahman.html -- regards, Vithur ARR -- The Sweet Cube always
