Oscar and Grammy-winning Indian composer AR Rahman feels it is very important to keep reinventing. For that, he says, he keeps on challenging himself because after sometime the magic fades and the brain becomes numb.
“As humans, after a while, even the best thing becomes boring. In any event of life, that boredom is a human quality. The only way to fight it is reinvention, to do something,” Rahman told IANS in an interview.
He continued: “There’s an old saying which goes something like this: ‘If you do something very well with your right hand, then you should try it with your left hand as well’. So, get out of your comfort zone and muscle memory to find new muscle memories, find something new through that process.”
In reference to his work, he said: “Even now, it’s not like I go and sit on my chair and magic happens. I keep challenging myself because after a while, the magic fades and the brain becomes numb.”
“I think when we’re done with something, we always tend to move away from it,” he shared, while using food choices as an example. (IANS)
