Ashton Kutcher (@aplusk on Twitter) just used Twitter in a way it has not been used before (in my knowledge).  He asked all his followers to send his wife Demi (@mrskutcher) a good morning tweet at the same time effective creating a ‘love bomb’ (or love tsumani, all names that have been thrown around for this phenomenon).  This resulted in her getting over 4000 tweets in a matter of 10 minutes (and still counting).  Ofcourse, the fact that he has over 500,000 followers made this possible.  Hats off to Ashton for a great idea.

Rahman’s Best Song http://sidekickblog.com/ar-rahmans-best-song-93.htm http://sidekickblog.com/ar-rahmans-best-song-93.htm#comments Tue, 24 Feb 2009 06:23:22 +0000 Kunal Jain http://sidekickblog.com/?p=93 Yet Another Related Posts Plugin.]]> A. R. RahmanWinning two academy awards at the 2009 Oscar ceremony for the music of Slumdog Millionaire has catapulted A.R. Rahman to wordwide fame but he has been one of the most prominent figures in Indian music for many years.  Hopefulle, the internation attention he is receiving will introduce more people to the great music that he has created for many years before his recent success.

 

 

Although the song ‘Jai Ho’ he composed for Slumdog Millionaire was great, it is was far from his best.  Since his music debut in the 1992 film ‘Roja’, he has been churning out industry changing music at a consistent rate.  

Jai Ho – Slumdog Millionaire
 

In my opinion, his most moving music was his 1997 rendition of one of India’s national songs, ‘Vande Matram’.  Rahman’s song was called ‘Maa Tujhe Salaam’ and it was released to coincide with the fiftieth anniversery of India’s freedom.  Both the song and its music video are extremely moving and patriotic.  The music video was amazing too.  You can see it below:

Maa Tujhe Salaam – Vande Mataram


 

Some of my other favorites from A. R. Rahman include (in no particular order):

Chal Chaiya Chaiya – Dil Se

 

Kehna Hi Kya – Bombay


Tu Hi Re – Bombay

 

Yeh Haseen Vaadiyan – Roja

 

Khwaja Mere Khwaja – Jodhaa Akbar

 

Taal Se Taal Mila – Taal

 

Dil Se Re – Dil Se

 

Saathiya – Saathiya

 

Yeh Jo Des Hai Tera – Swades (Another patriotic song sung by Rahman himself)
