சமீபத்தில் தனது ஆயிரமாவது படமான ‘ஷ்மிதாப்’புக்கு இசையமைத்ததன் மூலம் யாராலும் அசைக்க முடியாத ஒரு புதிய உலக சாதனையை படைத்த இசைஞானிக்கு கடந்த 20-ம்தேதி மும்பையில் மிகப்பெரிய பாராட்டு விழா நடைபெற்றது. நடிகர்கள் அமிதாப் பச்சன், ரஜினிகாந்த், கமல்ஹாசன் உள்ளிட்ட ஏராளமான பாலிவுட் பிரபலங்கள் பங்கேற்ற அந்த விழாவில் பங்கேற்றுவிட்டு, அப்போதுதான் சென்னை திரும்பியிருந்த இளையராஜாவுக்கு பெடிக்யூர் செய்து முடித்த அந்த இளைஞர் தனது நெடுநாள் விருப்பத்தை தயங்கித் தயங்கி தெரிவித்தார்.

‘உங்களோடு ஒரு படம் பிடித்துக் கொள்ள ஆசைப்படுகிறேன்..’ கூறி முடிப்பதற்குள் அவரை அருகில் அழைத்த இசைஞானி, ’எங்கே கேமரா கொண்டு வரல்லியா?’ என்று கேட்டார். தனது பாக்கெட்டில் இருந்த செல்போனை எடுத்து ‘இதுலே எடுத்துக்கலாம் ஐயா’ என்று கூறி அவர் எடுத்த படங்கள் எல்லாம் ‘அவுட் ஆப் பிரேமில்’ போனது.

மெட்டமைப்பது, பின்னணி இசைக்கோர்வை ஆகிய எல்லைகளை கடந்து புகைப்படங்கள் எடுப்பதிலும் வல்லவரான இளையராஜா, அவருடன் மேலும் நெருக்கமாக நின்று அந்த செல்போன் மூலம் தனது கைப்படவே ‘செல்பி; எடுத்துத்தந்து தனது ரசிகரின் நெடுநாள் ஆசையை நிறைவேற்றி வைத்தார்.

Though very frustrating to write on this subject in Tamil (for that matter any Indian language), I decided to press on and take up this unique challenge. It is sad that Indians have a lot of time for stupid films and politics, but not to enhance their own languages in this world of S&T. 

I ended up writing an article series for the 'Solvanam' magazine and if everything goes well, it should get published from Jan 2015. Coming to the relevance tot his forum, I used Raja and his music making process as the example for the lay person to understand the way the body creates cells, build proteins and so on. For example, Raja's score sheet is the DNA and  Puru is the RNA that orchestrates the DNA instructions and so on. 

Those who can read Tamil, may find this interesting as you can go from the known to the unknown. Nothing about Raja will be new to anyone in this forum. I have used convenient high level examples and not much gory detail. As with any analogy, there are limits to this too.

I disagree!

given the prevalent most parsimonious explanation for the origins of life having its roots in the RNA world, the current school of thought (supported by abundant evidence) is in the order of prebiotic RNA precursors - RNA world (with randomly formed peptides) - and then the proto-ribosome world leading rapidly to the Last Universal Common Ancestor (LUCA) - around when DNA most likely originated and evolved - LUCA further diverged into the three domains of life eubacteria, archaea and eukarya, which continued to evolve since the hadean times (3.5 billion years ago).

DNA came after RNA and is primarily a 'dumb' information storage material.

So Raaja, musically is both the DNA, as well as the RNA and the protein product - whereas the others are like chaperone proteins.

But here’s the interesting part. Rumours are rife that the multinational company is paying Salman a whopping Rs 15 crore a year for the association. Meanwhile, South Indian music maestro Ilaiyaraja too has given his nod to the company to launch the mineral water under his name and he is being paid Rs 5 crore for being a part of this.

1. IR himself IMHO is the problem - why would anyone want to do things randomly, without even a proper manager taking care of his things? he does everything himself and apparently does not trust anyone in such matters.


2. yes, the 1000s of crores as royalty or sales records would have fetched him enough recognition to get a call from production houses around the world - to even get an accredited music agency to represent any musician/artiste, one needs to show sales on paper/record - what you have mentioned would have most certainly gotten IR the recognition in terms of his salability as a brand name!


3. IR himself has to decide - in a Karoor speech, he states 'its upto my fans to take my music to international awards'! thats not very professional

“நினைப்பதெல்லாம் நடந்துவிட்டால் தெய்வம் ஏதுமில்லை”ன்னு எம்.எஸ்.வி பாட்டு ஒன்னு உண்டு. கண்ணதாசன் எழுதுனதுதான். ஆனா நினைக்குறது நடக்குறதுக்கும் தெய்வத்தோட அருள் தேவைதான்.

ஒரு கனவு. கனவுல இளையராஜாவைப் பாக்குறேன். அவர் கால்ல விழுந்து கும்பிடுறேன். அவரும் ஆசி கொடுத்தாரு. யார்னு அவர் கேட்டதுக்குச் சாதாரண ரசிகன்னு அறிமுகப்படுத்திக்கிட்டேன். அப்புறம் அவரோட ஒரு செல்பி எடுத்துக்கிட்டேன்.

இத அடுத்த நாள் காலைல டிவிட்டர்லயும் போட்டுட்டேன். நண்பர்கள்ளாம் சீக்கிரமே நடக்கட்டும்னு வாழ்த்துனாங்க. அது அடுத்த மூனு நாள்ள நடக்கப் போகுதுன்னு அப்பத் தெரியல.

I agree, badly managed finances/marketing. Even Thiruvaasagam was not managed well, causing lots of heartache in the end. I doubt the value of the royalties could be that high, but never knew, in these days of volume/scale.
