How many ever times it has been said, discussed or debated, it always is worth a mention – more so, when history is created. Especially when it comes in proportions this gigantic and happens so close by; you can actually hear the bated breaths and sighs of relief mingling with the riot of cheers. When AR Rahman returned to the country he’s long made proud with a host of coveted awards, the joy around was almost tangible. There can never be enough of Rahman and we wanted to start our second volume with the one man we unanimously look up to! A man this gifted has innumerable facets and every article ever written about him is an attempt at discovering and unravelling a new facet to this remarkable individual. As we enter our second year in print, in tune with the chords around, we look to acknowledge and celebrate the glory of the individual. An enthusiastic young band, a seasoned veteran standing rooted in the music world, an adventurer who finds no snow-capped peaks foreboding, the fast, furious and the fashionable ones. Our attempt at making a different difference continues. Just last year, we had an energetic individual in our midst – a friend, well-wisher and writer. An unfortunate accident took him cruelly away from us but he stays with us now as a memory. Without sounding preachy, this is an earnest appeal from all of us at The Score Magazine, to please be safe and drive safer. You never know who you could snatch away or leave behind. This issue is dedicated to the memory of Vikram Vishveswaran.
