Hi All I pray that the Almighty bestows his graciousness upon ARR this time round as well for the Oscars and May ARR bring at least one if not all three Oscars back to his motherland - he loves so much. Please lets all pray together for it, silently or any other way we all are comfortable with prayers. Vandematram. Neena

He swept all the awards, Including a golden globe..being a first Indian to do so..Which I had only dreamt off...Beating the Westerners in there own land and in there own game. 2. He has played a major role in the success of SdM with his superb musical score.. 3. SdM with a music composed by Rahman is an oscar favourite and has got 10 Nominations. .I repeat 10 Nominations. .We all get excited if an bollywood movie with Rahman's music sweeps the national awards, irrespective of he wins for music or not,,,Now when its international recognition for the movie as a whole, I feel proud of rahman and thank god for it. 4. Indian media has atlast woken up to what Rahman is..even if its late, enough media coverage has already been given...People discussing his music on prime time, some debating wether is he India's greatest and People across the nation have already leaped praises on rahman..Which wouldnt have had happened without SdM. 5. Now the west also knows about Rahman, More of his works would be explored...Which I am sure without SdM wouldnt have happened atleast in Immediate future. And to end it all, Oscar is just another award and SdM has already opened many doors and created necessary impact outside India for Rahman, and I feel we all have been blessed to witness these. Thanks to the entire team of SdM. --- On Fri, 2/20/09, Jahanzeb Farooq <jahanzebtippu@ yahoo.com> wrote: From: Jahanzeb Farooq <jahanzebtippu@ yahoo.com> Subject: [arr] Re: Rahman not winning Oscars is going to be hugely upsetting To: arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com Date: Friday, February 20, 2009, 3:14 PM you are very right. this all is to make ourselves happy and recover from the loss, but it is fake. the fact is that it is gonna be extremely depressing. at least for me it would be among the most depressing and sad moments of my life if he does not win. his win REALLY matters, REALLY. it is gonna be the biggest UPSET if he does not win.... i pray this never happens. --- In arrahmanfans@ yahoogroups. com, "Chord" <purev...@.. .> wrote: > > Some of you are saying that if Rahman does not win an Oscar, it won't > really matter because we know how great he is, etc. etc. That's a > nice psychological defense mechanism.
