Jai Ho!!!

Truly an emotional moment to watch our very own A.R.Rahman receiving the Oscars for his original score and best song in Slum Dog Millionaire. I should say it was such a terrific moment to watch him receiving the world’s most prestigious award in front of so many Hollywood people. Rahman, the fourth Indian to win the coveted golden statuette, picked up the awards for his best original score and also the best original song "Jai ho" from the film with lyrics by Gulzar and Sukhwinder Singh as the lead singer. I personally felt so proud for that moment, for being an Indian to receive the Oscars, not one but two, which is unbelievable. I still wonder how humble and simple this man who said “எல்லா புகழும் இறைவனுக்கே!” in tamil in front of all the audience. Congratulations to A.R.Rahman, who deserves more than the Oscars, and I’m sure these Oscars are not going to bring to an end to his musical expedition.
