HOME- best place to be in during Ramadan

Home best place to be in during Ramadan: Rahman

 

Every year, no matter which part of the world he is in, global musical icon A.R. Rahman likes to be home for Ramadan and this year too he is in Chennai for the holy month.
“It makes sense to come back home for the holy month of Ramadan for many reasons. Firstly, it’s a time when one needs to be close to one’s roots, home and family,” said Rahman.
“Secondly, looked at from a practical point of view, the days are far too long in the US. By the time it’s sunset, it’s a good 9-10 hours of fasting, and that’s tough. Being home is the best place to be during the holy fasting.”
Rahman is making the best of this month-long stay in India, his longest visit home in a year. Besides spending time with his wife, children and mother, Rahman is also here to take a quick look at his music school in Chennai, of which he is rightly proud.
