I always feel some kind of similarity between AR Rahman and Sachin Tendulkar! The Oscar winner has also reached the peak of his career along with the batting maestro! Earlier they started off at almost about the same time. They started around the early 90s.
A.R.Rahman started his career when he was a young boy. He had a deep love for music! Similarly Sachin Tendulkar started playing cricket at the age of 3. A.R.Rahman took to making jingles at almost the same time when Sachin Tendulkar was playing for the domestic teams!
Sachin Tendulkar got a break in International Cricket during 1989 but he became a familiar household name by 1992, 93 and 94 by which time Rahman also turned a household name! Both Sachin and Rahman had the peak of their careers in the years 1994, 95, 96, 97, 98, 99 and 2000.
After 2000 both of them got slightly hit in their careers. They rose back to past glory occasionally. It might seem that Sachin Tendulkar had the biggest slump after 2000 but it is also true that A.R.Rahman did not fare as much as he did in the 90s.
AR Rahman and Sachin back to form
Sachin Tendulkar was not so convincing again to many (excluding those who understood the dynamics of the game) till 2006 and neither was AR Rahman so convincing. It was after 2007 that people started to notice them getting back to their best!
Now Rahman won the oscars, grammy and bafta! Sachin Tendulkar scored the double century in 2010. Tell me how long is it since Sachin Tendulkar scored the 200 after Rahman won Grammy! It was hardly a month I guess.
Similar Character traits of Rahman and Sachin
Have you ever observed that both their characters are very similar? Both Rahman and Sachin are reclusive individuals who concentrate extremely on their professions. I also believe both have been praised for their sheer original talent. When there are about half-a-dozen music plagiarizers in India, AR Rahman is known for his talent and Sachin Tendulkar's talent is unquestionable!
AR Rahman's songs are relatively original! When it comes to both their characters, they are very similar and that is for each and everybody to witness.
Above all, both of them have put India on top of the world through their love for the profession they have been in. They have nothing else to breach, no more records to be made and no more awards to be won! They both are at their peak with no saturation point above them! They keep going all the time! There is no stopping these two great individuals!
They both have contributed significantly to our nation! What more can they do? Right when you ask this question, both AR Rahman and Sachin Tendulkar come back with some form of an even greater achievement than all their previous achievements! They both have made India stand proud amidst all the nations in the world! They can never be forgotten and history will never dare to erase them from its pages!
Let me finish off with a pun! Both AR Rahman and Sachin Tendulkar make records! Does AR Rahman break records? LOL!!!!! One more to end this article! Both are called maestros!

Hello! I somehow find these comparisons funny.
ReplyDeleteNot sounding arrogant, Let me add few more funny like events and persons in both of their lives.
ARR
====
Though people considered him to be nice music director, he won most number of people after his Vande Mataram album (1997) - which made people say "He is the Man".
Sachin
=======
Though people considered him to be a champ, nice batsman, he won most number of people during his stint at Sharjah ( 1998) - which made people say "He is the Man".
ARR
====
During Ilayaraja times, people (leave ignorant North Indians, ignorant because of many reasons) thought there wouldn't be any greater music director than Ilayaraja, but ARR came.
Sachin
=======
During Sunil Gavaskar times, people thought there can't be any greater batsman than Sunny, but Sachin came.
In both cases, purists (those who know the conditions, techniques, labour work) do not agree that both are greatest persons in their fields, but everybody agrees that both are biggest (biggest = many people follow/ like ) persons in their fields.
Both his famous predecessors (IR from TN and Sunny from Maharastra) were branded arrogant. Media creation of tiff between IR & AR and Sunny & Sachin may not be correct. As a trivia issue,
IR, for his daughters marriage, happily invited AR. Like wise, Sunny, for his son's marriage happily invited Sachin. And more trivia, both his predecessors have a failed son in their respective fields. ( Kartik and Rohan).
ARR
=====
He started playing his Father's Harmonium at age 4 and he spent his whole child life in Music unable to complete his schooling.
Sachin
=======
He started playing (?) cricket since age 3 and he spent his life as a child life in Cricket unable to complete his schooling.
ARR
=====
He is superstitious (like closing his room while composing and believing that things just happen by God, and STILL believing that his father was killed by black art ) and known for his award acceptance speeches.
Sachin
========
He is superstitious ( does't allow his family members to come to stadium and watch, having a sai baba picture in his bag) and also known for his trademark gesture after every century.
ARR
=====
His orignal name is Dilip Kumar (a hindi icon of 50's)
Sachin
========
His name is Sachin, named after the great Sachin Dev Burman - musical icon of 50's.
If you do not find these offensive and bad, I would like to add some more.
Thanks

Very nice write up and observation...
ReplyDeleteBoth of them are living legends.
One more common thing..
ReplyDeleteI never seen them in the news for wrong reasons.They never comment on others.Both are very professional and they just concentrate on their work and never involve any kind of controversial issues.
Sachin and Rahman are the true ambassadors of India than our politicians and Swamijis. What you said was definitely one more of it.
