The maestro recently completed his 68th birthday. Of all channels, CNN-IBN (holy cow!) carried this tribute video recently (thanks Anu for sharing).
Very engaging and beautiful video. I especially loved Kamal's explanations on how certain songs shaped up.
I started out as a "fan" of IR. But now it is a little different. It is akin to seeing an enlightened being and bowing down to him for what transpires through him. With IR, it is the musical aspect. I don't know "how" it happened to him, but it feels like a miracle that it is possible. And to IR's credit (immense immense credit - it is not at all easy to do this), he recognizes it for what it is and seems to be able to just "allow" it to happen. He doesn't put an "I" to his music.
Note: In this same vein, it is also important (well, not important, but interesting) to state that as a person he would probably tend to drive everyone crazy and is a very difficult man to have a rational conversation with! :). But what he has is too vast and overwhelming that what would be a showstopper with another human recedes to a triviality with him.
