A.R.Rahman's music school!!!!!

The dreams of several millions is going to come true in a short span!! I recently came to know about A.R's idea to open a music school!!

It seems that, A.R. is going to launch a music school very shortly, to nurture young minds with the musical gift.. He calls this to be his dream coming true!! His idea behind this is to create a well reputed and a top class music school.. In this regard he has even selected a place near Chennai Airport, where the construction works will be proceeded..


In his words,
"I feel young talented musicians in our country, specially those who want to learn Western classical music, have nowhere seriously creative to go. We need to cultivate a taste for Western symphonic music so that an average musically-inclined young musician would be as enthused about learning the violin as the star.. " - - A.R.Rahman

He also adds " We'll soon be working round-the-clock. I want it to be one of the best music schools in our country"!!!!

With this act of starting a music school, Thala has entered into another dimension of becoming a teacher!! As everyone knows, Thala rocks in whatever he does and so is the music school.. With lots of expectations, i extend my heart felt wishes to his new endeavour!!!!

Munbe Vaa..- The song with a Difference!!

As we all know, the song Munbe Vaa from the movie Sillunu Oru Kadhal is an evergreen melody.. Always fresh and melting!!



As an ardent fan of A.R.Rahman, i just love almost all his creations.. But then, what made me write about this song in particular is that, i feel there is something more than just music in it.. We always have a set of songs which will take you through some precious memories.. And this is one such song for me.. When this movie was on the screens, we had immense craze about this song.. Infact, we have listened to this song for hours together.. Even today the song remains fresh and heart provoking!!

One more thing, that adds spice to the song is its picturisation.. Surya just rocks in it!! His style and expreesions just adds beauty to the song.. From the cinematic point of view, this song has its own uniqueness that, no other song has its starting with the phrase 'Munbe Vaa'..

On the whole, the heart throbbing song is a gift to kollywood cinema and thanks to A.R. for fetching such a masterpiece!!!!
