RAhMaNiA???!!!!!!

It's Sunday evening and i am looking at Ishanth Sharma running in to bowl his first over in the match against Deccan chargers and on any other day i would've been glued to my seat without bothering about what's going on outside the 21 inches,but today isn't any other day,for some reason.I think about the next day ie. about the semester practical exams which i am scheduled to have and my casual attitude towards it.Things aren't going to get any better as far as my preparations are concerned and there is a reason behind it.I look at the clock and it's time for me to make a move.I get up,get started and catch the bus to my destination along with my mom.I get down and move inside just to see what lies ahead in the day:the place is crowded to the core and people are jostling with each other to get in.Now i am in and have to wait till it starts.In the mean time the no. of people keeps increasing and no one really cares if he/she has a place to sit or not.Now it's nearly time and after some Booms in the stage,Vijay athiraj comes running in and does what an anchor usually does when in Chennai,but the people are like "c'mon we're not here to see you, so please move on!!!!!",and finally he does.The One we are waiting for , makes his way to the center of the stage in his usual calm n composed manner and there he is.A.R Rahman is standing right before us,some 50 metre from me and addresses chennai in his lovable mother tongue.While many of us in the crowd are still wondering how someone that great could be this simple,he starts off the proceedings with his own number from Azhagiya Tamizh magan.From then on everything is in fast forward and a number of hit songs of his are sung by himself and many other renowned artists like Hariharan, Madhushree,Karthik,Nithyashree,Neethi Raman(this girl really amazed me with her dual talents),Shankar Mahadevan,Javed ali.The Concert finally comes to an end with 'vande matharam' and it is nearly 10.30 when i am out of the place.On my way back I wonder,'Is this what people call RahMania????'....
