The Continuum Fingerboard

"people should serve people" .......says A R Rahman when asked about his view of politics....in last nites interview showed on CNN, TalkASia by Anjali Rao. How true that one line he uttered....let it be politicians , doctors, clerks or whatever....the basic intention is to serve ....isnt it....if everyone feels this way.....how would the world be....i wonder....

Anyway...." It is boring if theres no music" he says....when asked about his holidays....he says even during the break he needs music. Are u surprised ?....

Then he takes Anjali to his music studio built in his humble looking house...and demonstrates an instant music making session....just sits at his keyboard ...closes his eyes n simply plays.....a NEW TUNE fills the room....and it sounds so awesome.....Anjali looked astonished and asked him ..." Did u just make that up??"....he nods humbly....like it was as easy as skipping is to the rest of us...! Anjali had no words....her eyes would have popped out....i mean....God must have mistakenly put a Magical Harp in his head instead of the lump of brains most of us got....

Then he shows this latest instrument used in his music called....Fingerboard.....it looked simply like a long rectangle box with flat red surface on the top...no strings...nothing....just attached to the sound system....and he rubs his fingers on it.....MY GOD ...! the sound was so divine...he said it can even be used to play indian classical music.....those of you who loves music....do browse the net on " THE CONTINUUM FINGERBOARD".....its amazing....

His two Oscars were on a table in the living room.....amongst loads of other awards everywhere in the house....and he says..." I have lost some of it...in the process of moving house"....haha...it was like us saying....i misplaced one of my books .....that easy ...simple...no big deal....haha...

N about the oscars ...he says " Well it made the people so very happy....the fans and everyone around the world ...so i thought ...why not take it " Hahaha....what is this man made of.....its TWO OSCAR AWARDS in one night....n he is not at all shaken by pride ....still so humble....! A true human indeed....may god bless him and his family...may he bring joy to everyone in the world with his healing music....
