His collaborations, specially with Mani Ratnam, Subhash Ghai and Imtiaz Ali left me asking for more and gave nothing new which a fan already didn't know. This interview in video format would have been better IMO. Aug 03, Anuz Kulung rated it it was amazing. I love this book. Jan 10, Abhishek rated it liked it. Dull questions and wasted opportunity to interview a living genius. The author has brushed upon his craft and spiritual practice in a shallow manner. Hardly anything of insight was captured and as one amazon reviewer pointed out: this could have easily been a video interview than a whole book.
The author seems to be enamoured by the presence of AR Rahman rather than be objective about the interview.
The edition I read had an additional chapter to catch up on the present times. That chapter is eve Dull questions and wasted opportunity to interview a living genius.
That chapter is even worse than the whole book. Aug 13, Allagappan rated it really liked it. I love Rahman's humility and talent. Key factoids from this book: - AR didn't know Hindi. He learnt after he started composing - He had self-doubts and even suicidal thoughts - He believes if he asks someone that he wants to compose for them, it will get jinxed :-p It has to come to him.
Overall an easy read as it is a converstaion between Nasreen and AR. Amazing photographs as well. I ended up listening again to several songs while reading this book. May 17, Jaiganesh rated it really liked it. Good conversation! Oct 01, Mony Shamim rated it liked it.
ARR: Classical Music. It may be necessary for people to learn more to appreciate it. The same applies to Western Classical. When you know more about it, you learn to appreciate the whole composition and not just the melodies. There is so much depth and complexity in Indian Classical Music- the Poly rhythm, the Percussion, the variety of Raags - the powerful mood they create.
It has many secrets. It's fascinating. NMK: What do you mean by secrets? ARR: Classical music in India has such tremendous sophistication. There are many layers to discover. A Raag does not reveal itself instantly. If you listen to Raag Lalit, you will hear many nuances.
It evokes a unique kind of imagery. The same applies to Sindhu Bhairavi. Each Raag allows you to experience different emotions. Indian Classical music is ingrained in us. I believe that's true of my generation. It's very important to study classical music, as it helps giving depth to compositions. May 18, Ankit rated it it was amazing. I was sitting in a cafe when a friend told me that i haven't read non-fiction in a while.
That sent a series of strange thoughts in me. Why do I always read fiction? Is there something beyond the marriage between beautiful words and master story-telling. And it was just a chance encounter that I picked up this book that evening.
Rahman is someone who defines Indian film industry with his beautiful tunes. And as a big fan of Rahman Sir, it was such a delight to read his answers to some of the I was sitting in a cafe when a friend told me that i haven't read non-fiction in a while. And as a big fan of Rahman Sir, it was such a delight to read his answers to some of the best question that could have asked.
Loved how joyous his tone becomes when he talks of Mani Ratnam and his slight humour which is indicative throughout. Oh, and the pictures were a great bonus.
