"Problem is, people compromise. Until something is not there, people won’t know it is there. So you have to create that wanting.” But getting people to want something they don’t know about isn’t easy. It takes time and patience: “First, you cater to what people need. Once you’ve done that, you compose what you love and believe people will love as well. And you stand by it, even at the risk of being rejected.” And how do you do that? “You can only be what you are. You can only try to maximise what you are. Good-looking or bad-looking, this is my shape; it is there for people to see. There is a beautiful quote that says, ‘I can never change what or how I look. But I can change how the world looks at me.’”

AR Rahman and the Art of Focus
by Charles Assisi
There, after all, could be a method to his genius. Charles Assisi finds out
http://forbesindia.com/media/images/...an_600x400.jpg
Soon after I got out of AR Rahman’s North Mumbai home (which also doubles up as his studio), I went online. To look up ‘Munbe Vaa,’ a song in the Tamil movie, Sillunu Oru Kaadhal, for which Rahman had composed the music.
Now, I don’t understand a word of Tamil. And I can confidently say—without fear of contradiction from my wife—that I’m rarely ‘mushy.’ But the moment the song started to play, I was lost. Lost in words I didn’t understand, and—I hate to say it—falling in love with love all over again.
We had visited Rahman with a clear brief in mind. There’s a section in ForbesLife India, ‘The Pursuit of Happiness,’ where we talk to people who are perceptibly happy and ask them one central question: How do they achieve happiness? In earlier issues, as part of this series of dialogues, we’d spoken to people like the absolutely lovely Asha Bhosle, Bollywood’s original charmer Shammi Kapoor, and the redoubtable Leander Paes who’s known to play his tennis with his heart worn loud on his sleeve.
When my colleague Jarshad NK, who has known Rahman now for many years, asked him if he’d spend time with us, I was pleasantly surprised when he agreed; Rahman, to my mind, projected reticence, a deep regard for his privacy, so I’d pretty much taken it for granted he’d politely decline to let us into his head. I was wrong.
And he continued to confound my expectations. There was no name-dropping; he didn’t carry the gravitas of somebody who’s worked with some of the biggest names in the world; there wasn’t the sense of self-importance you’d expect in someone who has won practically every award in the business, including two Oscars and two Grammys.
On the contrary, he made me feel at ease—almost like I was with an old friend, with whom I could share a couple of boy jokes, laugh at a few silly unprintable things, and ponder the world and its machinations. I found myself doing fanboy stuff like telling him how crazy my dad is about his music and he smiled and asked me to thank him for listening to what he composes.
I don’t intend to delve here into our conversation on happiness—that’s covered in ForbesLife India’s Spring edition—but about something else that struck me during our chat.
“I’m never composing in the studio for too long—at best for 20 minutes, 30 on the outside. I don’t spend eight to nine hours on something. It fatigues me. It’s like beating a sick person. There’s this Big Bang moment. It either comes, or it doesn’t. It flows or it doesn’t. But when you sit and things are at ease… that’s when it happens.”
“Twenty minutes!” I spluttered. “That’s all?”
Like most people, I’ve grown up on the idea that geniuses stay up for hours on end, focussed on their goals to the exclusion of everything else. But here was this icon of brilliance telling me it wasn’t worth working for more than 20 minutes. He knows what he’s talking about. I mean, six years after Munbe Vaa first hit the charts and I heard it for the first time, I wanted to fall in love again—which is exactly what Rahman had intended (“…certain songs like ‘Munbe Vaa¸’ when I did it, I wanted it to be a cult song—a legendary piece of music…”).
As he went about articulating how he did it, my mind couldn’t help but veer around to a book that’s hit the shelves very recently, 18 Minutes, by Peter Bregman. Rahman and Bregman were talking the same language. An advisor and consultant to CEOs and leadership teams across the world, the sum and substance of Bregman’s hypothesis is this: By setting out to do what is most important in your life and creating a daily 18 minute ritual spread over an eight-hour working day, you learn to concentrate on things that really matter. I’m sure Rahman hasn’t read 18 Minutes. But his method is remarkably similar to what Bregman recommends as a way to achieve the levels of productivity that only the best in the world—at whatever discipline—manage to do. So what are those common lessons?
Lesson #1: Pause
The big lesson: The ability to pause for a few moments when everything around seems completely out of whack.
I asked him, “Don’t you get pissed off when critics pan your work or somebody you reckon doesn’t understand what you’ve done attempts to deconstruct your body of work?” His answer was prompt: “Never take a decision based on emotion. You need to look at the world in a detached way.
You can look at it either as a romantic film or a horror flick. I choose to look at it as a romantic one. When there’s a sea of negative comments, I put a filter around myself.” It’s a lesson, he said, that was reinforced when he had a chat with Sachin Tendulkar, who does much the same thing.
http://forbesindia.com/media/images/...an_600x400.jpg
During the course of Bregman’s research on emotional responses, a neuroscientist at Columbia University told him that the brain has this part called the amygdala, which triggers emotional responses. When something unsettling happens, it provokes an immediate reaction. But pure, unadulterated emotions are not the source of your best decisions.
So Bregman asks, how do you get beyond the emotional to rational thought? The neuroscientist told him, if you take a breath and delay your action, you give the prefrontal cortex time to control the emotional response. And all it takes is a second or two.
And that is precisely the filter Rahman is talking of. Pause! “It requires effort.... it requires sacrifice.”
Lesson #2: Pursue your passion
Roja was Rahman’s debut film as a music director in 1992. Directed by Mani Ratnam, it catapulted Rahman to national acclaim and won him a series of awards, and a mention in Time magazine for creating one among the 10 best sound tracks of all time. Question on my mind was, how did he get there?
“I used to cycle and go all the way to Mount Road [some 10-12 km away] just to find this one British magazine called Music Makers. It was about synthesisers.” Often, after he’d cycled there, the store would say it hadn’t arrived yet. But he’d keep going there every day, “until I got my copy. And when I’d finally get it, I’d go ‘Oh my God!’”
“Then there was this time I used to go to Bangalore to another shop, where they had albums that were not there in Chennai and come back listening to them on the train. That transported me to another world. When I did my music, I wanted to transport other people as well, without compromising on tradition. I guess that’s why Roja eventually happened.”
Each year, Bregman writes, the US Bureau of Labor Statistics conducts a survey among thousands of Americans. The purpose is to document how people spend their time every minute each day. Most people surveyed by the bureau spend the most part of their day sleeping; 8.68 hours to be precise. They watch television for 3.45 hours and work for 7.78 hours. That is, most people actually spend more time sleeping than they work, which is fine. But what makes the data compelling is people spend almost half the number of hours they work doing something as unproductive as watching television.
Now juxtapose this with what Bonnie Ware came up with in a book Bregman points to, called Top Five Regrets of the Dying. An Australian songwriter, Ware devoted a significant amount of her time to palliative care with people in the last twelve to three weeks of their lives. The themes that recurred in her conversations with dying people were:
• I wish I had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me.
• I wish I didn’t work so hard.
When you see these two regrets together, Bregman says, you realise “What people really regret isn’t simply working so hard, it’s working on things that don’t matter to them. If our work feels like it matters to us, if it represents a life true to us, then we would die without the main regrets that haunt the dying. We would live more fully.” Rahman put it more philosophically. “You can’t be without passion. Passion means the possessiveness to be the best.” And where does work fit in, I asked him? “Work is like nasha (intoxication). When you’re working, you got to be really selfish and get the best out, pushing your people hard. Sometimes you rub them on the wrong side, but work is like medicine: If it is good, everything else is forgiven.”
Lesson #3: Assert your differences
Bregman talks of an interesting change he noticed, back in the ’90s, when he was consulting with American Express. Harvey Golub, CEO and chairman, used to come into work wearing suspenders. Bregman recalls that soon after Golub took over the top job at Amex, people started to wear suspenders as well. It’s an effect Bregman has seen across businesses: People try to fit in. “But fitting in has the opposite effect. It makes you dispensable. If you’re like everyone else, then how critical to the business can you be?”
Bregman points to Susan Boyle. “In a field with a tremendous number of beautiful, sexy, talented people, what are the chances that you’ll be noticed by being even more beautiful, sexy, and talented?” But Susan Boyle was different. She broke the mould. Which is why her YouTube videos received more than 100 million hits. “If she looked like every other aspiring singer, would the world have noticed?”
http://forbesindia.com/media/images/...an_600x400.jpg
It’s a lesson Rahman learnt early on in life. “Problem is, people compromise. Until something is not there, people won’t know it is there. So you have to create that wanting.” But getting people to want something they don’t know about isn’t easy. It takes time and patience: “First, you cater to what people need. Once you’ve done that, you compose what you love and believe people will love as well. And you stand by it, even at the risk of being rejected.” And how do you do that? “You can only be what you are. You can only try to maximise what you are. Good-looking or bad-looking, this is my shape; it is there for people to see. There is a beautiful quote that says, ‘I can never change what or how I look. But I can change how the world looks at me.’”
“If you go to Hollywood and say, ‘I can do what John Williams does,’ they’ll say, ‘get out!’ But when I said I have Slumdog Millionaire, they embraced me. Do something on your own. Do something unique. Look at yourself from the other person’s perspective and make yourself unique.”
Lesson#4: Choose the world that supports you
The first thing that struck me about Rahman’s apartment-studio was the all-pervading sense of peace: The unmistakable smell of incense; the all-white walls and floors; thick carpets; unfailingly polite support staff. Perhaps most significant, despite the fact that his apartment was located in a film-crazy city, and even had his name on the door, nobody, not even the watchman, knew that it was the AR Rahman who lived and worked out of the place. It’s the same with his Chennai home. And, Jarshad tells us, he’s got an apartment like this in every major city he works out of, all of which are more or less replicas of each other. He hates to work out of plush hotels that would only be too happy to bend over backwards to accommodate his every whim and fancy. The only quirk, if you want to call it that, is that he likes to work in the night.
I couldn’t help but think of it as a series of rituals. On the face of it, the idea of a ritualistic life sounds terribly boring. He laughs. “I don’t drink. I don’t eat pork. I don’t womanise. I think many people think of me in the same way: He must be a boring guy.”
Bregman has a contrarian take on rituals; he calls them tricks. “We all need a trick,” he writes and cites the late Jack LaLanne, a fitness guru who had the longest running TV show—34 years! —in the US. LaLanne was the kind of man who could swim a mile or more while towing large boats filled with people… while handcuffed. That, Bregman says, wasn’t LaLanne’s ‘trick’. His tricks were in his everyday rituals. Until he died, aged 96, he spent the first two hours of his day exercising: Ninety minutes lifting weights, 30 minutes swimming or walking. He wrote his eleventh book, Live Young Forever, at age 95.
Bregman concludes that rituals are the only way you can focus on a few important things amidst the many other things asking for one’s attention.
Lesson #5: Master distraction
In business, multi-tasking is a much-touted skill. The better you are at it, conventional wisdom goes, the higher your chances of making it to the top.
But when Bregman started to research the phenomenon and the impact it had on productivity, he was stunned. People distracted by incoming email and phone calls saw a 10-point fall in their IQ. The impact is twice as much as it would be if you were smoking marijuana. Bregman figures that in reality, productivity actually drops 40 percent, because human beings aren’t built to multi-task. What we do instead, he says, is switch-task—shift rapidly from one task to another—and lose time in the process. Last year, one of Rahman’s children was seriously unwell and had to be rushed to the ICU, where she was diagnosed with a critical condition that required open heart surgery. Rahman, for whom music is nasha, gave it all up. He knew he couldn’t focus on music, not when his child was unwell, not when she needed him more than anybody else did. For an entire week he was by her side, tending to her, until she was well again and back on her feet.
AR Rahman doesn’t multi-task. When he’s focussed, it is intense, because, as he says, “It is a spiritual thing. Nothing comes without losing something. You can’t have everything.”

Ilaiyaraja and AR Rahman in London
Mar 26, 2012
Two of the greatest gifts Tamil cinema has given to the world of music are currently in London. Ilaiyaraja is in London on work related to Neethane En Ponvasantham, Gautham Menon's movie for which he is doing the score. His director is clearly in awe of him and revealed that he feels honored to watch the maestro at work. Musicians from Budapest had been roped in but Gautham was more enthusiastic about the children's choir used for a song saying that it will remind you of your childhood, school, college and everything from the past.
As for AR Rahman, he is also in London on work. He dropped in to visit Rajini on the sets of Kochadaiyaan and the two great men were spotted bonding big time. Their enthusiasm for their craft was plain for all to see and sources said that their eagerness to learn new things about all things work-related was admirable

Rahman gets another song for Kochadaiyaan
Lyricist Vairamuthu said that AR Rahman was at his residence to fetch a song for Kochadaiyaan. Vairamuthu revealed that the Oscar winner wanted one more song to be recorded and hence arrived personally to get it.
The lyricist also revealed that Rahman flew down to London with the lyrics immediately. It may be mentioned here that the shooting of Kochadaiyaan is happening at the Pinewood Studios in London with the entire team camped there. Radhika Sarath Kumar confirmed Rahman's presence in London and said that they had a wonderful dinner discussing various issues.
Kochadaiyaan is directed by Soundarya Rajinikanth. Rajinikanth, Sarath Kumar, Aadhi, Deepika Padukone and others play the lead roles in this film. KS Ravi Kumar is in-charge of the story, screenplay and dialogues.

Upendra’s ‘Godfather’ embellished by Rahman’s melodies
Widely-expected foray of A R Rahman into Sandalwood has been stalked due to extraneous reasons. Oscar recipient may not score for Godfather.
It was speculated that Rahman would be decorating Godfather with the same mellifluous tunes of Varaalaru in Tamil.
Rahman, while retaining most of the tracks of Varalaru, which had proved to be hits in Tamil, will be composing a couple of fresh tracks for the Kannada version. On the sidelines, director P.C Sriram had made it clear that Rahman had agreed to come out with new numbers for Godfather which features Soundarya, daughter of Jayamala, Catherine Tresa and Bhumika Chawla.

Three film deal with AR Rahman
- March 29, 2012

http://www.deccanchronicle.com/sites...op_display.jpg A.R. Rahman.
Fans of the Oscar-winning composer A.R. Rahman, who is busy with international projects, need not feel dismayed.
A source from the studio circle informs us that Aascar Films, who recently announced half-a-dozen flicks, have signed a three-film deal with the maestro.
These include Jackie Chan’s Hollywood film, a project with ace filmmaker Shankar (the cast and other details are being worked out) and a movie with Dhanush in Bharat Bala’s direction —- which again, will be a multilingual production.
A source from the banner confirmed the news to this newspaper and said, “The subjects are all alluring and apparently, all the films are with biggies, which will have a pan-Indian appeal.”
Rahman was recently featured on the Forbes India magazine, with pictures from his private collection. It looks like Rahman was pleased with the interview as he has tweeted — ‘in conversation with Forbes Life India’, while giving a peek into the chat.

9. ஸ்டாரில் வரும் "நேந்துகிட்டேன் நேந்துகிட்டேன்" - இது கார்த்திக், சித்ரா(இன்னொரு சித்ரா) பாடியது. "மனசுக்குள் ஒரு புயல் மையம் கொண்டது" பாடலும் நல்ல பாடல்.
10. லவ் பேர்ட்ஸ்-ல் வரும் "நாளை உலகம் இல்லை என்றால்". மிக அருமையானப் பாடல். சுஜாதா, உன்னி கிருஷ்ணன் பாடியது.

Four scores!
Our favourite celebrities talk about four people who have inspired them.
Karthi
Dad: All good things begin at home. And it's his goodness and respect for people that I have learnt from him. And being known as his son was what touched me.
Mom: She was the embodiment of selflessness. Her entire life revolved around us and yet she was always there to help and lend a ear to people. This truly inspired me.
Sachin and Rahman: Two icons who taught me that goodness prevails. The humility is what one should learn from them.
My friend Ashok and cousin Saroja: They shook me out of my comfort zone and made me take myself seriously. They made me take responsibility for my decisions.
*******************
Raima Sen
My grandmother: The way she conducted herself and brought up mother inspired me in more ways than one.
My father: He ran the family. The fact that we are so grounded and strong as a family is all because of him.
My mother: No one can be my best friend and worst critic at the same time with the same intensity.
Marlon Brando: His autobiography, which speaks of his activism and his life at the movies, is humbling and an inspirational read.
*******************
Trisha
Khushboo: When she mentioned that I was her favourite actor it really touched me because she's one of the nicest human beings I've met. Coming from her it meant a lot.
My mother: I had a terrible viral attack and when my mom put aside everything and nursed me back to health and I felt like a five-year-old once again.
Anu: My designer and a close friend with whom I had lost touch. We met a few days back and bonded as we chatted about old times. And I knew how much I had missed her and the flowers she sent me spoke so much about that.
Pattu: A mongrel puppy I fostered for a couple of months, now in a beautiful home, taught me a lot about love and loyalty.
*******************
Rana Daggubati
My grandfather Ramanaidu: Whatever I am today and do is because of what this man did 50 years ago; moving from a small village to Chennai and establishing himself as one of the most successful producers in the film industry was no easy feat.
Authors Mario Puzo and Frederick Forsyth: I started reading their works when I was in Std IX. I must have read The Godfather at least 10 times since. Every time I read their books there's something new to learn. The learning has greatly influenced the way I operate today, understand a film and approach a scene.
Actor Kamal Hassan: At a time when cinema had its limitations, the kind of stuff this man did was outstanding — playing a dwarf, acting in a silent film... I have grown up watching his films and always look up to him.
Director Ram Gopal Varma: He has always been a big influence on me even before I worked with him in “Department”. He was the guy who broke the norms with films like “Shiva” and “Satya” when the industry was stuck with conventions and stereotypes. For someone who has been in the industry for so long, his enthusiasm on the sets is just amazing.
*******************
Bharath
Dad: He's the one person who's moulded me and he's my strength.
Director Shankar: He's the one reason I am here today and it's his faith in me that's touched me the most
B.R. Prassana Kumar: My guru at Swingers. Dancing has always been my asset and what he taught me gave me a break in cinema.
My core group: My friends who always are by my side through my ups and downs and are my real stressbusters.
*******************
Chinmayi
Mom: I'm what I'm because of her. She's my strength
A R Rahman: He gave me the break I needed at a time when I needed it the most
Paulo Coelho and Brian L. Weiss: their writing and philosophy have always inspired me in more ways than one.
*******************
Sneha
My mom: She can never be replaced.
Sister: My sister has taught me the importance of being human.
Ko Mohan: In those three days when I shot the song Ovvoru Pookalumae Sollkirathey in “Autograph”, he taught me the importance of Life and its meaning. How we live it only once is something I learnt from him.
Nitin: My sister's son and his live-free and love-everyone attitude has truly inspired me.
*******************
‘Jayam' Ravi
Mirra Alfassa also known as The Mother: The Aurobindo Ashram in Puducheerry is one place where I can pour out all my emotions and that gives me a lot of peace.
Paulo Coelho: His books have always inspired me and they are a pleasure to read.
Braveheart: One of the main reasons why I'm in the movies today is because of this film and the character.
Hrithik Roshan: He has created a new trend in cinema. The way he conducts himself, his looks and his acting are all inspiring.
*******************
Shriya Saran
Ayn Rand: Her writing is always inspirational and teaches you something new all the time.
Shovana Narayan: My dance teacher has truly inspired me. The way she juggled work, dance, children and a home made me look at things in a different light.
Mother: Her hard work and dedication to whatever she did touched me.
Rajnikanth: His kindness, simplicity, love for his craft and perfection as an actor is something that you can draw inspiration from. He is someone I look up to.
*******************
Tanvi Shah
A R Rahman: He's taught me determination, diligence and patience.
My grandfather: The fact that I learnt punctuality from him is the biggest lesson for me.
N.K. Sharma and Raji Sharma: They have played a very important part in grooming us making us believe in ourselves. They taught is to give it our best shot in whatever we did.
Augustine Paul: He taught us that hard work will always pay off and to always be confident in life.

ARR ALJAZEERA INTERVIEW
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cVSzm7-SMJY
http://www.thehindu.com/multimedia/d...b_1045793f.jpg
Oscar-winning music director A.R. Rahman was one among the six winners who received the ‘Tamilan' awards instituted by ‘Puthiya Thalaimurai' news channel at a grand function at Chennai on Friday night.
Rahman has changed
http://www.accesskollywood.com/akd-i...n-07-04-12.jpg
AR Rahman is known for working throughout the nights. He, in fact, had set this trend and several music directors follow it today. However, all this has changed now. The Oscar winner wants to spend time with his children and feels that he should be with them at a time when they are growing up.
Rahman hardly takes about half an hour to score a tune these days and if at all he cannot come up with a good tune, he does not waste his time pondering over it and calls for a pack-up with the intention of working on it the next day, say sources.
Rahman’s priorities have certainly changed!

கோச்சடையான் - புயல் வேக ரஹ்மான்
http://tamil.webdunia.com/articles/1...409055_1_1.jpg
ரஹ்மானிடம் டியூன் வாங்குவது புயலுக்கு நடுவில் பூ பறிக்கிறதுக்கு சமம். திண்டாடிவிடுவார்கள். இந்திப் படவுலகின் ஜம்பவான்கள் டியூன் கிடைக்க ரஹ்மான் ஸ்டுடியோவில் தவம் இருப்பதுண்டு. ஆனால் இருவருக்கு மட்டும் இதிலிருந்து விதிவிலக்கு அளித்திருக்கிறார் இசைப்புயல். ஒருவர் மணிரத்னம். இன்னொருவர் ர*ஜினி.
கோச்சடையானின் முதல் ஷெட்யூல் லண்டனில் முடிந்திருக்கிறது. இரண்டாவது ஷெட்யூல் கேரளாவில் விரைவில் தொடங்க உள்ளது. தீபாவளிக்கு படம் வெளியாகும் என ர*ஜினியே உத்தரவாதமளித்திருக்கிறார். ரஹ்மான் இசையமைக்கும் ஒரு படம் இத்தனை வேகத்தில் தயாராவது அதிசயம்.
ர*ஜினியின் படம் என்பதால் முதல் ஷெட்யூல் முடிவதற்குள் மொத்தம் உள்ள ஐந்து பாடல்களில் நான்குப் பாடல்களை கம்போஸ் செய்து சிலவற்றின் ஒலிப்பதிவையும் முடித்திருக்கிறார் ரஹ்மான்.
இரண்டாவது கட்ட படப்பிடிப்பில் ர*ஜினியுடன் சரத்குமார், ஜாக்கிஷெராப், நாசர், தீபிகா படுகோன் உள்ளிட்டவர்கள் கலந்து கொள்வார்கள் என எதிர்பார்க்கப்படுகிறது.
