Started reading the book after finishing off ARR's life history in Thamizh. My first read of Robin Sharma. Bought his The Monk Who Sold His Ferrari long back, but, well, its with a friend. :)
Not very interesting yet, coz so far only speed reg leadership is running. Not even half through the book to comment about it.
Expecting it to be good as it goes.

ARR's CWG Anthem
"Why waste money again? Make someone else sing."
"Even if Rahman gives me a part of his pay, I will not listen the song. Its dreadful."
These were very famous lines repeated again and again a few weeks back in Headline Today, when they started asking people's comments on ARR's CWG Anthem.
Brought lots of laughter to me! I never knew the aam admi could be such a great comedian himself. Always he used to be the victim of comedies. ;)
In a nutshell, people were more concerned about Rahman's pay than the Anthem. Everyone compared it with Wakka Wakka, quoting its nowhere comparable to it :D
HT really is a great business machine. They created a havoc out of nothing and pumped up their TRP rating, trying to draw harsh critics on ARR. Hats off to their cunning idea. But that half or an hour program was nothing more than that.
I loved the CWG Anthem.
P.S: Just while trying to find a vdo to link with my post, read that the Anthem is being re-worked. Am eager to see the difference.

Book: Jai Ho! A R Rahman Vaazhkkai varalaru by Sokkan
Finished the inspiring and interesting life history of AR Rahman by Sokkan (Kizhakku Pathippagam, my fav). Loved reading every single line though most of the details are very well known to me. Taken by surprise by many of the facts provided by the author. Especially by the new that ARR has done so many jingles and was in advertising for around 5 years!
Leo Coffee ad has always been my fav, now wanna collect all his jingles starting from Pavan Photo Studio. :)
An awesome experience in having read about the life of one of the most successful Indian of my time. :)
P.S: Was really surprised after reading that 'Thanga Thamarai Magale' brought SPB his first National Award for a Tamil Song! Shame to call myself an ardent SPB devotee. :(
