Yes, the video is very emotional.
BTW, the guy with the Blue striped shirt, who speaks at the end is a cousin of mine !! I haven't interacted with him much and didn't know he was such a big Raja fan !!
S.Suresh
Suresh,
Thanks for sharing this.
It is quite moving to listen to these fans. Raja never gets carried away by the emotional adulations and he just grins, isn't that wonderful?
Lesser personalities would cry, hug, and do a drama.
One thing to never ask Raja, how do you compose, yet that keeps coming up again and again.

Thanks a lot for Suresh ji sharing this wonderful event. I could not go beyond that first person's wishes. He was so honest in his compliments and wishes. From Maestro's face, I can feel Maestro understood his fan base and acknowledged him very well. When he said Maestro is his mother and this is his request, I can't stop my tears, could not continue as I am in office. Will watch it in the evening.

Right, if he does that, it would get into his head and he will not strive harder any more. That is his idea, always tries to get as humble as possible (it is difficult to do that when you have such achievements/popularity) so that he can achieve higher. I think subconsciously, attributing things to god, is also a way of staying sane. I think, he did get moved by the blind guy's talk, but he did have the presence of mind to come up with an answer that does not sound patronizing but still logical and effective. Translating for the audience was also good. He is just an open book, no secret sauce in his music - from the mind to paper to artistes to instruments. Like it or not, authenticity guaranteed. Let cool genres/instruments be gone to the winds, the emotional impact has been made and will last for years in the minds and hearts of so many listeners. This talk is a sample. Thanks for the video.

Have to admit some of the portions are quite touching. But I also have to point out that some people need to show more maturity. I can understand them feeling emotional and stuff, but I mean, come on, that lady who kept insisting that Raja call her Kannamma? Seriously? I can't imagine how awkward it must have been for Raja. But Raja remaining unperturbed and just smiling through the whole meet and not creating a drama only increases my respect for the man. And the answer to the symphony question intrigues me.

kiru,
So you came to Blore and did not call? Next time death beating will happen
Here is another evidence of reach of Raja. Forget all the nonsense that guys with vested interests write against him. Here is an 18 yr old analyzing his latest song, 'en devadhai' from 'Nadi Thudikkudhu'. We need not worry about his music being immortal. People with knowledge in music in any era will ensure his music stays alive. They have no choice

Lovely video. sila edangaLLa kaN kalangittEn. That Coimbatore guy. Nee rasigan da! Also look at the connect between the man and the fans. That. I could connect with what the fans said. I'm sure I'm not alone. We speak about his innovative genius. Yes, undoubtedly. Absolute frikking once in a century genius. We speak about how every composition of his has a concept and an underlying brain in it. Such a wonderful creator who channelizes his innovative genius. Yes. We also speak of his contributions to cinema making with his musical virtuosity. Yes absolutely. That will be his biggest contribution to cinema and not his songs (though they will live eternally).
But beyond all that, look at this connect. Oru vairathukku eththana pattaya theetinaalum ellaa pakkathulErndhu minnumO. appidi dhaan ya namma Raaja. eththana patta! aththanaiyum jolikkum. idha unfortunately uNarndhu rasikkara pakkuvam neRaya pErukku illa. We are blessed.

He is very excited about working with V. Dakshinamoorthy for the film Shyamaragam. “I wrote the lyrics and sent it to him. He made no changes. On another occasion, he visited my home and that was an honour for me. Working with Ilayaraja has been an equally rewarding experience.”

T Sounder, on kalyANi
பெருபாலான பழைய பாடல்களில் இசையமைப்பாளர்களின் பெயர்களை ஆங்காங்கே மாற்றி போட்டால் யார் எந்த பாடலுக்கு இசையமைத்தார்கள் எனபதை இலகுவில் இனம் காண முடிவதில்லை.அதனால் தான் ” இந்தப் பாடலை இசையமைத்தவர் V..குமார் , நான் விஸ்வநாதன் என்றல்லவா இவ்வளவு காலமும் நினைத்திருந்தேன் , இல்லை அது சுதர்சன்மா , கோவர்த்தனமா ” என பேசிக்கொள்வதை நாம் அடிக்கடி கேட்கிறோம்.
இளையாராவின் வாத்திய இசை அவரை துல்லியமாக அடையாளம் காட்டிவிடும் என்பதற்கு ” சின்னத்தம்பி பெரியதம்பி ” படத்தில் வரும் பாடல்களில் ஒன்றான ” ஒரு காதல் என்பது என் நெஞ்சில் உள்ளது ” என்று தொடங்கும் பாடலை சொல்லலாம்.
அந்த படத்திற்கு இசையமைத்தவர் கங்கை அமரன்.இவ்வளவு நேர்த்தியாக இசை இருக்கிறதே என்று எவ்வளவோ காலம் ஆச்சரியப்பட்டதுண்டு.சமீபத்தில் கங்கை அமரன் ” அந்தப் பாடல் இளையராஜா வேறு ஒரு படத்திற்கு இசையமைத்ததாகவும் , தான் அதனை இந்தப் படத்தில் பயன்படுபடுத்தினேன். ” என அந்த உண்மையைச் சொன்னார்.

Not sure if people shared it on the forum here. Twitter la @nchokkan shared it. Resharing image url here: https://fbcdn-sphotos-b-a.akamaihd.net/hphotos-ak-frc1/s403x403/998690_597402576948014_18569475_n.jpg
Raaja's score for the film, Ramanujan, on the life of the saint Ramanuja, with details on his songs. I am excited because this is the first period film in Tamil he's doing after Bharathi (?) and when it says Kalyani, my nerves tingle because that had Nirpadhuve in Kalyani. IR when he handles this raga takes it to another worldly level. Expecting nothing less here.

P_R : ninaikkavE ROFLA irukku. KosuvukkellAm kodai pudikkiRa range
AM : I know. Chithra chEchi shared this in Super singer.
P_R : for some reason I find the going away funnier. திரும்பிச் செல்லும் யானையோட மனசுல என்னல்லாம் ஓடும்...
Drunkenmunk : ROFL
P_R: மகனே, புலி வர்ற பாட்டு போட்டிருந்தா தெரியின்
Drunkenmunk : ROFL. Full form. You continue.

rAsA's Madurai friend
Continuing his recollection with moist eyes, Mr. Subramaniam said: “One day, Raja, a harmonium player in the troupe, expressed his desire to play guitar. I took him to my friend Alex, then a lead guitarist of a band in the erstwhile Pandian Roadways Corporation. Alex was living at a mansion in Thembavali Illam near Arapalayam here.
“He explained the nuances of the lead, rhythm and base to Raja and left the place on some personal work. I also took leave as I had to attend the proceedings at the district court which was then functioning at Thirumalai Nayak Palace. When I returned at 4 p.m., I saw 40 to 50 people gathered around Raja who was playing all the three — the lead, rhythm and base — with bleeding fingers.

Blog post by an Engg college chairman
Lot of dramatic stories in this blog
(There's one about how he first met Sujatha in Cubbon Park & Kamal joined Sujatha too)
Anyways, his article about "giving seat in public transport to pregnant / elderly women" is lovely! (JeMo did a blog post appreciating that as well)
இசைஞானி இளையராஜாவின், திருவாசகம் பாடல்களின் இசை வடிவத்தின் வெளியீட்டு விழாவிற்கு சென்றிருந்தேன்.
விழாவில், வைகோ ஆற்றிய உரை, எனது வாழ்நாளில் நான் கேட்டு வியந்த ஒரு அற்புத மேடைப் பேச்சுகளில் ஒன்று! மேடையில் இருந்த சூப்பர் ஸ்டார் ரஜினிகாந்த் வாயைப் பிளந்து (நிஜமாகவே வாய் பிளந்து) கேட்டு இரசித்தார்!
விழா நிறைவில், இளையராஜாவை சந்தித்து, ஒரு பட்டுத் துண்டு அணிவித்தேன். மிகுந்த உற்சாகமான மனநிலையில் இருந்த அவர், என்னைப் பார்த்து, கருணா! நாளைக்குக் காலையில் வீட்டுக்கு வந்திடுங்க! என்று சொல்லிச் சென்றார்.
மறுநாள் காலை, அவரது வீட்டுக்கு பூங்கொத்துடன் சென்றேன். என்னை வரவேற்பரையில் அமர வைத்து விட்டு, இளையராஜா வீட்டினுள் சென்று விட்டார். அங்கு என்னைத் தவிர வேறு யாருமில்லை!
அப்போது, ராஜா! என்றழைத்தபடி, கவிஞர் வாலி உள்ளே வந்தார். நான் எழுந்து நின்று அவரை வணங்கினேன். அவர் ஒரு பெரிய இருக்கையில் சாய்ந்து அமர, நான் நின்று கொண்டே இருந்தேன். அப்போது, இளையராஜா அங்கு வந்து, என்னை வாலியிடம் இன்னார் தம்பி என்று அறிமுகப் படுத்தி வைத்தார்.

Vaali..may his soul rest in peace .. I am also ashamed to admit that I thought many of the songs by vaali were by kannadhasan, One song that is part of our contemporary bhakti corpus - karpanai enRalum ..karchilai enRalum (it is songs that like this makes me proud of our music..oozes devotion in every syllable) . Amazed to hear it was by vaali. May be app you should do one for vaali like you did for GA.
But later years the conviction was missing in the lyrics ..probably that is how he adapted to the new times.. unlike pulamaippitthan who writes the same way even today (and whose lyrics I admire as well).

Also, look at the comments - unadulterated vanman by both cohorts
But the funniest part is each fellow back-scratching one another ("உண்மையில் ராஜா ராஜாதான் என்றெல்லாம் கூப்பாடு போடும் பல இளையராஜாவின் ரசிகர்களுக்குத் தெரியாத பாடல்களையும், தெரியாத விவரங்களையும் சொல்லியிருக்கிறீர்கள் என்றுதான் சொல்லவேண்டும்")
What a silly write-up it is.. Nowadays anyone who can type is writing about anything !!!
தேனில் ஆடும் ரோஜா, தேவன் திருச்சபை, எங்கெங்கோ செல்லும் - இவையெல்லாம் நிறைய பேருக்கு தெரியாத பாடல்கள்....
உறவுகள் தொடர்கதை - ஜெயச்சந்திரன் பாடிய பாடல் !!!
Anyone who can type can write anything. That's the privilege of the internet. Otherwise how could a person like you vomit vengeance on others?
அதுசரி. உறவுகள் தொடர்கதை பாடலை பாடியது யார் என்று நீங்களே சொல்லி விடுங்களேன். நான் எழுதிய எழட்டு பதிவுகளைப் பற்றி வாயைத் திறக்காமல் இளையராஜா என்றதும் என்னை குற்றவாளியாக்குவது ஏன்?
