Power of hope

Everybody may be wondering about the title of the post but it is easy to guess whom i am talking about and yeah its none other than the Oscar winner, the legendary music director AR.Rahman. The man with so much potentials should have got this award a long time back for many movies he worked on but luckily "Slumdog Millionaire" turned out to be a milestone for him to get this award. He became the first Indian to get two Oscars. Can anyone ever imagine that you could be so humble if you were announced this award but i think everyone would have seen his humble reaction on the stage when he got his awards.

These are the few words he talked on the stage after grabbing the award "I just want to thank again the whole crew of Slumdog Millionaire, especially [director] Danny Boyle, for giving me such a great opportunity", he also added "all the people from Mumbai and the essence of the film, which is about optimism and the power of hope and our lives" and he went on "All my life I've had a choice of hate and love. I chose love and I'm here. God bless!!" Finally he said a saying in tamil "Ella pugazhum iraivanukke!!" that has made many tamizhians proud of themselves.

Hats off to AR Rahman and I am wishing him the best to continue his service towards music and to get more and more awards like this.
