We
need not tell you that a life in filmdom
is full of stress and pressure with
budgets to take care of and deadlines
to meet even if one happens to be
a music composer. When it comes to
A R Rahman, the expectations that
people have is enough to give one
the creeps. So how does he unwind
and release all the stress that accumulates.
He does not try yoga or the art of
meditation or Zen or any of those
ancient techniques that are in demand
in today’s modern world. He
simply sits on his green patch. You
must be wondering what this green
patch is all about. It is nothing,
just a lush area of grass that one
can see as one enters Rahman’s
residence.
Rahman
likes to lounge on this patch of grass and
talk casually and this seems to be his most
preferred relaxation. One can also see a
hammock hanging close by. When we pry further
we get to know that he likes to rock the
hammock as his children sit on it. This
too seems to be pretty good relaxation technique.
We all listen to Rahman music when we feel
stressed out. Rahman prefers to take time
off from music.
