Hello Friends, Saw the whole episode in the CNN-IBN site.
http://ibnlive.in.com/videos/107520/12_2009/ioty2009_1a/rahman-wins-cnnibn-indian-of-the-year-award.html Truly memorable moment. I could not stop admiring this musical genius. A.R.R Sir richly deserves this award and admiration. I could sense the kind of immense love and admiration that Manmohan Singh had while describing the efforts of A.R.Rahman. He inspires all of us to do more in this life !
