I’ve finally launched my site! http://www.mechanicles.com/

A R Rahman – The God of Music.

My Dream came true yesterday evening.  I saw our God of Music “A R RAHMAN” at Balewadi Stadium Pune, I can’t imagine that ” was it really you?”.  Me, my brother Anil and my friend Amit were there at 2.30 pm in a Q till 4.15 pm. After checking we ran to take our seats that were on first come first serve basis and we got perfect seats at 4.30 pm and waiting till 7pm for our God’s entry.

At 7.15 our Boss’ concert started with “Mausam and Escape” music and my temparature was going onnnnnnnnnnnn. For that moment I forgot all my  existing world and gone into the wolrd of our God, What a Music man !!!, I don’t have any word to express the A R Rahman’s music but one thing I have to say that our God has power to dance dead bodies also.

After that, entry of our God was mind blowing. He was starting the song with “Jaage Hain” from Guru movie. What a voice man! His voice has all world music definitions to express music, no need music for A R Rahman voice, his voice is the music . Everybody were chilling at that moment.

We all enjoyed the whole show, mostly college guys were shouting with A R Rahman music  and giving the slogan like ” You are a GOD, GOD of Music”. An amazing thing to see in the concert for Rahman who rules the hearts of many.

Here are list of songs played at concert by Rahman,

1. Mausam & Escape (Slumdog Millionaire)
2. Jaage Hain (Guru)
3. Machan Machan (Tamil)
4. Delhi-6 (Delhi -6)
5. Roja Janeman (Roja)
6. Masakalli (Delhi-6)
7. Guzarish (Ghajini)
8. Dil Se (Dil Se)
9. Jiya Se Jiya
10. Ringa Ringa ( Slumdog Millionaire)
11. Genda Phool (Delhi-6)
12. Tu Hi Re ( Bombay)
13. Khamosh Raat ( Thakshak)
14. Kahin Toh ( JTYJN)
15. Sarfaroshi Ki Tamanna ( The legend of Bhagat Singh)
16. Bharat Hamko Jaan Se Pyara (Roja)
17. Kabhi Kabhi Aditi ( JTYJN)
