Hi Dear Rahmaniacs.. I just wanted to share with u all my meeting
with AR RAHMAN sir..I'm a student of Loyola College and more than that I'm an
ardent follower of Rahman sir's music. On the 18th of sept, A friend of mine
and me went to invite Rahman sir as a chief guest to our college cultural
event. After a long wait of over 4 hours, at 11 PM, we were called in.. We went
in and there HE was.. It was the second time I was meeting him up close.. He
called us in and asked us to take our seats. We briefed him about the reason of
our arrival.. He smiled and said "I would've loved to be there. But i have so
many pre commitments. " I knew about all his big projects so i didn't talk
after that. My friend told him that he just had to come to the college for 5 to
10 mins. Just to light the lamp. HE said, "Coming for 5 minutes is not at all a
problem. But my work requires me to be really focussed. If i come for 5 mins
also its like I'l lose the whole
day. I get easily distracted and then it becomes difficult for me to work." He
explained to us like he knew us before, with so much clarity and such ease.
When many other celebrities find it a matter of pride to talk to a fan, here's
a world class celebrity sitting and explaining y he can't make it.. I mean who
else would care to do such a thing? That's RAHMAN for u. The Rarest and the
most UNIQUE Celebrity in all of World.He never, even unknowingly hurts anyone.
When we asked one of the helpers he said, tht it was AR who wanted to cal us
in, when he knew tht we had been waiting for so long. My friend cried at AR's
character saying that there can't be a sweeter Human Being on the planet..I
know we all know of this Great Man's character, but to be there and feel it is
an altogether different experience.. The best part was when he was leaving, I
wished him Eid Mubarak and he smiled and patted my backIt was one of the best
days for my friend and me.
Although he couldn't make it to our college, he wrote us an Autograph
addressed to the College. I'm sooooo Proud to be a FAN of such a great
Personality. He's the Best.. Hail AR RAHMAN sir..
