Movies are the Channels...

Film Music in India is like Pop Music in the West.
Movies are the channels for this Music.
But, Music stays on long after the films.
If a music artist wants to blossom into a full-fledged person,
it's not enough if he knows only classical music;
nor is it enough if he's well-versed only in Raagas and Techniques.
Instead he should be a knowledgeable person
interested in life and philosophy.
In his personal life there should be,
at least in some corner of his heart,
a tingle of lingering sorrow...
- A.R.Rahman.
