"I was yet to overcome the spell of *Ghajini*'s *Guzarish* song<http://www.ndtv.com/convergence/ndtv/story.aspx?id=NEWEN20090079803#>and here is Rahman making history for India at the world stage," Suhasini, an Indian living here, said. "Rahman and his music simply continues to amaze men and women of all ages," she said.

"The news is music to the ears in every sense of the term," said Vinod who has made a point to watch every A R Rahman stage show that has taken place here in recent years. "It's a great day for India. Rahman has made us proud." For senior marketing executive Shailendra Kulkarni, just rejoicing is not enough. "Indians should get together and celebrate this award by singing and playing the choicest of Rahman songs that have enthralled us over the years." A Bollywood enthusiast summed up in these words: "an otherwise cold gloomy day in Dubai has been lit up by the latest Rahman feat. I just hope he continues to bring more light to our lives." http://www.ndtv.com/convergence/ndtv/story.aspx?id=NEWEN20090079803 -- regards, Vithur
