Hey there, this is GKR.
It was a rainy night and the lights were out in my area. I was frustrated that I couldn't complete this book I was reading for the past few days. In a single night, I planned to finish it off so that I had enough time to reciprocate all the chapters in the book again. One way or the other my plan collapsed and I had to wait for another week, till next weekend, as I had college to attend during the weekdays.
My favourite musician of all time, A.R.Rahman was my only escape routine for all my issues. My hands automatically swiped through the applications in my mobile, got myself into the music application (I use Google Play music mostly) and finally played my favourite album, Kadal. The melodies were so sweet that my anger faded. The book that I was holding in the darkroom, a book named Sapiens, I gradually put it back into my bookbag that I carry every day. I started reading Sapiens a few days ago because it revealed so much information about human beings in general. As the music slid deep into my heart I had the urge to learn how a man could compose such heavenly soundtracks throughout his life without compromising on quality. A musician has so many limitations that they have to consider, from the situation to the length of the track. However, this man nailed every single soundtrack that he has ever composed with utmost perfection.
I minimized the music application and Googled his name. As expected, Wikipedia did not have enough information about the man and his personal life. All that I found online was his public lifestyle and his achievements in the industry. I was taken aback by a sudden notification on my phone from Twitter. It was a tweet by the man himself. I immediately opened the tweet to see what it was about to make sure I get updated on all his activities. The tweet was about a book.
"Notes of a dream," by Krishna Trilok. It was an authorized biography of A.R.Rahman. Imagine my astonishment that night, I was searching for information about a man and suddenly the man himself tweets a book that had all the information I needed. It was as if he saw through my emotions, yet again proving why he is heavenly.
I checked my bank account to see if I had enough money to make it through the week even after buying the book. Fortunately, I had enough and as soon as the book was available for pre-order, I placed the purchase.
A few days later I had a surprise knock on the door. It was the delivery guy with the book that I had been expecting for a while. I got the package, tipped him as I was in a good mood, opened the package and TADA! The book was there.
My craze to read the book was so extreme that I bunked the college that Friday, thereby started binging on the book from Thursday evening. The book was not as big as other biographies but contained enough information to let you melt by all the incidents that happened in Rahman's life. The writing is clean and precise. The book only lasted for one and a half-day (I am a fast reader) yet I was able to consume all the details the book was meant to deliver.
I highly recommend this book for all the fans of the musical maestro (Mozart of Madras)
Even if I start reading more biographies after this, this book will undoubtedly be one of the most favourite biographies ever written.
