Thanks for sharing and thanks qwestda for all the good articles...

From this we can know the difference between ARR and HR in terms of thoughts.. ARR makes all his music the best and says that all his ventures are a dream come true.. While HR is still looking for his best.. Thats wat HR said in his interview..

A.R. Rahman sighting in New York

Sunday afternoon for the India Day Parade. Though it kept threatening to rain, the parade was pretty successful -- maybe 20,000 to 30,000 people there, and lots of floats.

The highlight was A.R. Rahman.

Anyway, in this image he is singing his song "Vande Mataram/Maa Tujhe Salaam" acapella. He has a powerful voice; the crowd was momentarily rapt.
