Happy B'day


A very happy birthday to the Mozart of Madras and Maestro of Indian music! We wish you a great year ahead and let god give you more strength to entertain us. I don't think there is any one in India who has not heard your music and not liked it. I grew up listening and collecting all your songs from your first movie (Roja) to the latest (Rockstar). I liked your music when I didn't understand the language (tamil). I still remember how I fought with my mom for not giving me money to buy your album “Vandemataram” cassette (yeah it was a tape recorder then) and I had to spend all my pocket money on that. Your music is a total stress buster to me. It soothes me when I am upset and peps me up during my low days. You are a great asset to India. You have an incredible talent. I was very happy that you got Oscar award for Slumdog Millionaire but honestly I didn’t like the music. We have heard better music from you. I love every single song that you’ve composed but cannot list all of them here.

Here are my favorite ones:

    1. It’s so unfortunate that only those Indian movies which have a firangi tinge win Oscars! How many Indian movies have actually won an Oscar for the best feature film. They just get nominated, that too after a lot of push & publicity by the makers & media alike, to categories like best foreign film & then fizzle out to competition from other countries. Also, the so-called Indian movies making their presence felt in hollywood are the ones which are Indo-American, Indo-Canadian collaboration..SDM had Danny Boyle at the helm...what happened to taare zameen par?
