" Once when Dileep was four years old, when he started playing the harmonium and Sudharshanam Master listened to the same. He closed the plates of the harmonium with a cloth. The child Rahman played the same tune once again and seeing this his father Shekhar commented, " All my life I had been in the Second Position. I will win one day and come to the First Position through my son". Oh! What a Prophecy that was.
Shekhar would have never felt or realised that his son would win these many awards and rise to such heights, but for achieving the same, Rahman had to go through all turmoils, pains and struggles. ( Rani Magazine ... tidbits ) -- regards, Vithur
