An Ode to the Maestro..


Every news channel, every FM studio, every website seems to be buzzing with this piece of national glory tat has been achieved today... Holdin the hands of a pied piper who smde almst had 2 leave music 2 fight poverty, the nation has come up knockin at the world's doorstep defying all who doubted its credibility on the world stage... Eight Academy Awards at a tym isnt a matter of joke and this unmatchable feat has actually bn made true by a team of dedicated professionals who showcased an Indian way of living onto one of the most coveted triumphs in film history... Leadin the pack is my favourite musician - Allah Rakha Rahman, the little master who has stuck the right chords tym and again in Bollywood and now into the world arena... puttin down his biography in dis blog wnt be interestn enuf as its on every1's lips 2de... He has left most great musicians bamboozled wd his dazzling work ever since the tym of Roja, Bombay to the modern Ghajini and now Delhi-6... Today the maestro has bn recognized on the international scene to the pride of all his fans and fellow Indians... Truly, 2de is a memorable day in history... As 4 me, I watched Slumdogs Millionaire twice through a pirated CD even b4 it was actually released in India on the 23rd of Jan... And believe me I was prepared 2 go to a multiplex and watch it a 3rd tym, it is tat good a movie... It simply brought out the truth abt India, the truth abt the slums in the financial capital of the country and how does a slum dweller use his real-life xperiences 2 build a knowledge bank tat wins him a collosal amount of money... The score has been awesome tat culminated in "Jai Ho" all the way to the Oscars... Its not very often tat v come across a movie of dis stature and it has rightfully won all hearts... And to all cynics, critcising the showcasing of Indian poverty to the world, plz try and appreciate a job well done... Winning a bunch of Academy Awards enhanced India's pride by many more ways than showcasin poverty wd hav lowered... Thnx Danny Boyle and thnx to all the cast and crew of Slumdogs Millionaire to hav made our nation proud... This is an earnest thnksgivin 4rm an average Indian who feels great today for your success... Thnk you...
