...and now paid off for Rahman.
What a day has it been - the day of the 81st Annual Academy Awards!
I haven't been watching the Oscars 'Live' for quite a long time now except watching it as part of news just to check who got and for what. It wasn't the case this year after about 6 years. I was waiting for this day and woke up at 4.30 am (IST) today.
This day is simply beautiful after Rahman winning 2 Oscars and the Slumdog team sweeping the rest. Celebrations in Chennai still on the go. Channels and FMs havn't shut their mouth til this late. I was alone at home all day and could share some happiness only after my sister returned from work at 10 pm. Cheered, clapped, and couldn't go beyond. Wanted to scribble something today - A fine, great day, and a memorable one for me too.
I really wished Sridhar Sir was there with Rahman today. This saddens sometimes - after lots of hardwork for years, he couldn't even hear this good news. The movie was nominated just some days after he passed away.
Can't talk of Rahman more now! Just as everyone says, I too believe this should have been long before happened for him for many of his better works. But I just believe dedication pays off some day even though late. Committment in anything you do is sure to gain you something someday. Just gives me some hope and strength that though working like a donkey doesn't fetch me an award, doing some work in committment with utmost quality is not going to let me down. The world may notice you some day or may not notice you any day, but the happiness in doin the work the way you prefer gives the most satisfaction.
Its been a long way A R R, but not a thoroughfare. U made your own routes and everyone knew you'd reach here someday.
