Great Writeup Vinod.. Also i want to add.. everybody has a dream.. and all rahmanics have a secret dream( till last year ) .. and it was if anybody from mainstream hindi cinema should win an Oscar, then it should be our boss.. i dont know how to say.. but i would have been happy if other win ( as satyajit ray has already done, but he is a league on his own ) but.. i dont know.. i wouldnt be thaaat happy if our boss were not the one... But you know Dreams comes true.. and dream comes true for a million people at once... ARR is the example. not only he made us realise our dream. but give it wings to fly with couple retreat now..
And now whats more to dream ?.. well there is more to dream.. each and every corners of the worlds should pay ARR songs.. no boundaries, no race, no hatred.. everybody listen to his songs and just immersed themselves and forget about hatred and just peace and love..
