It was just a matter of time. If you followed the American press you would have predicted this easily. But for me, I was still doubtful because I thought ‘Water‘ was good enough for an Oscar nomination atleast. Anyway, here we are today. While the press is glossing over the first Indian to be presenting an award at the Golden Globe awards ceremony, here we have a fellow Indian citizen winning one. You know who means business!
And I hope the comparisons of ARR with the other Indian music directors stop now atleast. I am in this mood to take these infinite potshots today! Let me let that instinct be for now…

This is my moment. This is every Indian’s moment. Let’s celebrate!
My Hearty congratulations to everyone and thanks a billion to ARR for making us proud :-)
The day is not far away when our own Rehman gets us an OSCAR!!!
Yayyy!!!
I rejoiced at his win!!!
And really it’s high time everybody stopped comparing him to people like preetam (one person told me this “Rahman is not as good as preetam” I almost hit that person! It’s like blasphemy)
In front of a music LORD like rahman, some kanji peenji preetam probably can’t spell the M of Music!
