I was thinking the same thing, Rawat. If ARR hadn't such a bountiful past year, there would be some criticizing ARR for abandoning India for the West, selling out, etc. etc. (which is nonsense anyway). You just can't say anything bad about the man. Amazing how one of his best albums of all time (Delhi 6) came at a point close to his Oscar nomination. Just amazing.
