I'm done. Got my first Degree

Words cannot express the happiness and joy I feel right now. I knew I was gonna make it finally, but there were just things that made it rather difficult to be happy about. I mean, how could I not graduate? Last semester, my final project and other courseworks made me worry about graduating this year. Finally I managed to finish those better than I planned with the help of my friends and family.

When I fail my A Level, I thought, my life is over. One portion of my life was closed, but the door to the rest of the world was opened to me. Now I strongly believe, there is always a way to get what we want. Sometime things are easy, sometimes hard. As one of my flatmates always says, everything has a reason to happen. We just need to accept it and work harder. This first degree will definitely give me more confidence to face my future, to get a good job and to develop myself more. Sometimes things go, not the way we expected them to go, but in the end everything turns out well.

As I blogged earlier, the musical God, A.R.Rahman had come to my graduation ceremony and our university honoured him with a doctorate. I finally got a chance to see him in front of me. Actually he looked at me. I never thought I will see him. The whole thing was unbelievable. I am really lucky.

So congratulations to myself, congratulations to my fellow graduates, congratulations everyone else who is graduating in Middlesex University and to everyone else who waited out side of uni and met A.R.Rahman!

A.R.Rahman conferred with Middlesex University degree

OMG! Guys, I'm thrilled! The musical god, A.R.Rahman is going to graduate with me:P! I can't wait to see him. This is the best news for me this year.... wooooooooowwwwwwwwwwwww.....!!

A R Rahman is on the receiving end. After the honorary doctorate offered by the Anna University, Chennai for his achievements in the field of music, now it is the turn of Middlesex University, London.

The Mozart of Madras has been identified for an honorary degree by the reputed Middlesex University, London. The degree is likely to be conferred on the maestro on the day of the Graduation Ceremony to be held at Middlesex University in London in the month of July this year. Mr. Joe Victor, Regional Director of Middlesex University met Mr. A.R Rahman and Mr. T Selvakumar Co-founder & CEO of KM Music Conservatory in Chennai, regarding this issue.

KM Music Conservatory & Audio Media Education was launched in the month of July last year. Their main goal is to train Indian students in Western music performance, Composition and Music Technology so that they can compete in the international arena. They are also working towards forming their own symphony orchestra consisting of its own musicians.

Talks are on with the Regional Director South Asia of Middlesex University, London, for academic recognition for the Bachelor of Arts Honors Program for Music Composition and Music Performance. This will be a three year program the first two years of which will be at Chennai at the KM Conservatory and the final year in London. The course is likely to start from January 2010. The eligibility criteria to avail this degree would be a pass in twelfth standard and one year training in KM Music Conservatory Foundation Program.
