| A CONCERT TO REMEMBER | |
| On Sunday night I had the rare opportunity of watching the recording of the A R Rahman Concert held at Delhi, which was telecast by StarPlus. It was a super fantastic and visually stunning show. Rahman is equally versatile in Indian Classical and Western music. Not only is he a fantastic singer himself, he is a super composer as well, and the per...

The more beautiful/successful they are, the more vulnerable they seem to be on this front. It’...
