ACCORDING to me the best way is a relative comparison with another genius, becomes an easy comprehension for anyone trying to read and understand their works.
A.R.REHMAN is to Indian Music what SACHIN TENDULKAR is to Indian Cricket.
Its not a banal cliche but there are very good reasons to it :
1) Both brought a freshness and innovation to their genre which was never seen before , it gave the country a new fresh breathe when it needed the most.
2) Both changed the way their profession is perceived by the billion folks in this sceptical and apprehensive country & for good.
3) Even after being at the top they have managed to come up with brilliance in heir works. They epitomise the saying that "I my own competitor." Striving for excellence.
4) Lastly they have build the Indian brand globally. Be it the Oscars for Rehman or severe critics round globe singing plaudits for the Little Master.
==============
The first time I heard him was "Yeh Haseen Vadiya" , that day was a revelation. Its like the first time I got the taste of something so flawless and beautiful.
He's the one music director who literally make a shiver run down your spine with ecstasy.
( Just listen to "Chupke Se" from Satthiya you'll understand what I mean )
He has helped new music directors , singers , musicians to build on a platform he has created for sheer innovation and excellence through his work.
His Tamil / Teleugu music is even more aspiring and fresh as the day he first arrived.
Critics may blame him for his repetition etc...but who cares if brilliance is repeated every now and then.
---------------
Its a sheer privilege to be born in an era where we can listen to AR Rehman and watch Tendya play. We often underestimate this very fact !!.

WHY SPECIAL TO ME ?
---------------
Simply I owe my interest and passion in music to this man.
Hats off to the Mozart from Chennai.
