Guru has been playing on a perpetual loop on my comp and I cant help but wonder about the journey this man has travelled from a reticent singer to a confident crooner. The first time A.R.Rahman lent his voice was for "Chinna chinna aasai..." from Roja. I don't know what the hindi lyrics were, but all he did was that 'yelelo' bit. I have no clue what raaga it was (or is) but everyone felt the song fresh and vibrant. The classical village belle intro song.
Digression -> And I cannot for the life of me stop comparing with "Barso Re..." from Guru - a village belle track for Mani. And I just cannot wait for this film to get released, even if I cannot make out hindi. <- End of digression
A.R.Rahman showed us his full potential when he made a nation hum to his "Humma humma..." from Bombay. Ofcourse, that song was a sort of 'item' song and had a gorgeous Sonali Bendre blessed to land on the screen swaying to that track. (And, someone please correct me, if he had sung a full-length song before this one.)
Now, listening to this man erupt into a full throated "Jaage Hain..." gives me goosepimples. Wishing this man, this musical genius to enthrall us, with his singing as much as he introduces exciting talents like Naresh Iyer, Chinmayi and lots others.

Rahman rocks!!! As a rule, he is always great :)
Agreed rahman is an exceptional talent and his song hamma hamma was a legendary hit.But i owuld rather have prefered 2 see twinkle khanna dancing 2 da song rather than sonali bendre. I reckon twinkle is both better looking and can dance better.
life lover --> so true.. someone else must be born somewhere to even match rahman's musical ingenuity, let alone surpass him...
anonymous --> thanx for NOT blindly arguing about A.R.Rahman and that too with me.. this post was really meant to express my admiration for the man's singing prowess..
now that u hav mentioned it, i feel sonali bendre was (and is) the best choice.. I completely disagree with what u say.. Sonali Bendre is way ahead of twinkle khanna in terms of beauty or dancing..
well brother, beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. So what i consider to be beautiful u may not. But i would like to reiterate that i just would have preferred 2 see twinkle in that role ahead of sonali
