AR Rahman, in his latest interview, spoke about the importance of reinvention and how getting bored is just a human quality.
“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.
“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,” he added.
“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.
“With food too, if you’ve had the same dish for five days, you will get bored. It’s a human quality and so, I want to try something else. I want to try some other cuisine, you know? So, this is human nature and even in art, even in stories, even in filmmaking, this is something which we’ve always seen. We have to find ways to stand out in order to break the monotony,” he concluded.
