A R Rahman strikes Grammys gold
LOS ANGELES: Indian composer A R Rahman scored a double triumph at the Grammy Awards here, scooping two early honours for his music from Tia Carrere presents the Best Compilation Soundtrack Album For Motion Picture, Television Or Other Visual Media award to A R Rahman for Slumdog Millionaire during the Pre-Telecast award presentations at the 52nd Grammy Awards in Los Angeles
Rahman won the first Grammy of the pre-show at the Staples Center in the best compilation soundtrack for a motion picture category before his "Jai Ho" won in the best motion picture song category moments later.
"This is insane, god is great again," Rahman said as he accepted his second award before a VIP audience.
Rahman's rivals in the soundtrack category included Steve Jordan for "Cadillac Records," Quentin Tarantino for "Inglourious Basterds", and the producers of "Twilight" and "True Blood."
In the best song category Rahman's beaten rivals included Bruce Springsteen for his song "The Wrestler", from the Oscar-nominated movie of the same name.
The Grammy success comes after Rahman earned two Oscars for his music in "Slumdog Millionaire" at last year's Academy Awards.
The talented music maestro picked up the best original score statuette before scooping the best song Oscar.
Got it guyz, Beautiful Days in Lonavala!!!!
painther.....cant describe it from memory....its just one of the many waterfalls there google "Liril Point" you will find information...
with a little help from Wikitravel,here's the location of Liril Point in Lonavala...
Liril Point. Take a rickshaw from Lonavala station. All the rickshaw-wallas know Liril Point. They will drop you to the top of the mountain where the stream begins and from there you have to trek down to Liril Point which is where there are several beautiful waterfalls. Apparantly, the old Liril ads were shot here. You can either take the trek route following the stream (the more beautiful route), or the path on the hill (the safer option).
