Thangar Pachan Controversy !?

medium_thangar.jpgToday's news papers in Tamilnadu has published the apology of the noted director Thangar Pachan... for saying " Actresses who act only for money is a Prostitute!". His apology scene is filled with high drama it seems. I too condemn in two ways. Acting is a profession ... and acting for money is natural. What he is expecting from actresses?! He is simply an Idiot in other issues it seems. If he is so fond of Tamil why he has choosen another language heroine in Alagi and also in this new film ( She is from Kerala).

Next he is defaming the oldest profession. Nowadays they are called in a dignified way as Sex Workers. He should not used them to defame somebody. Is he is a humanist first??. He must apologise to them all if he want a decent place as a social thinker/creative artist. Will he do so in public??

Ilayaraja & Thiruvasakam Controversy

medium_thiruvasagam-02.jpgEveryone is writing about Ilayaja's Thiruvasagam on net. People like Gnani, Charu are publishing rubbish arguements. So I am writing some of my views.

1. Argument: Ilayaraja said in outlook magazine..."BobMarlin ( Buffalo Soldier Fame ), Bob Dylan, Pavalar Varadharajan are Kuppaikal!".

My words: He is a great musician but not a great thinker. Sometimes he speaks too much.... forgive him!

2. Argument: He composed his own music and then he has choosen lines from Thiruvaasakam".

My words: What is the difficulty in accepting this. Music is his own. He can not change the lines of Thiruvasakam if it is not coming well with music! Is it a crime?! Sample of ignorance! More will be exposed in coming points.

3.Argument: It is not Symphony but Oratorio!!

My words: They rightly said it. It is an Oratorio Composing plyaed by a symphony archestra!! But Gnani ( a Muttal in Music?) argued that "Even Veeramani and Iyappan songs can be called as an Oratorio"!! Now let us see what is the form Oratorio...

An oratorio is a large musical composition for orchestra, vocal soloists and chorus. It differs from an opera in that it does not have scenery, costumes, or acting. Oratorios usually contain:

a. An overture (French ouverture, meaning opening, in music, the instrumental introduction to a dramatic, choral, or, occasionally, instrumental composition.)

b. Various arias [(Italian for air; plural: arie or arias in common usage) in music was originally any expressive melody, usually, but not always, performed by a singer. It is now used almost exclusively to describe a self contained piece for one voice usually with orchestral accompaniment., sung by the vocal soloists ]

c. Ensemble singing

d. Recitative, usually employed to advance the plot

e. Choruses, often monumental and meant to convey a sense of glory. Frequently the instruments for oratorio choruses include timpani and trumpets.

Do you think that Iyaapa Songs or LR Eeswari songs has got the above features so that they can be called as Oratorio?!! Foolishness at its peak... arguments just to get cheap Publicity. Why Charu put Gnanis work.. again to get cheap publicity... but you poor ignorant guys are exposing your own ignorance easily.

4.Argument: He called it as crossover... but people like MP Srinivasan has done this already

My words: Ilayaraja never said that no one has ever done a cross over! Irrelevent issue here.

5.Argument: To do this he dont need an Orchestra from Hungary.. our chennai cine musicians can do it.

My words: I dont think that our cine people can do it... but Ilayaraja has choosen the best! See more details about them below. The Symphony Orchestra of the Hungarian Radio and Television also known world-wide as the Budapest Symphony Orchestra was founded in 1943 by Ernst von Dohnányi. During the 57 years of its existence the orchestra has proved itself being one of the most reputed ensembles of the world, highly valued by innu­merable reviews of the critics of the greatest newspapers (ie.e. Daily Telegraph, New York Times etc.) and the public throughout the world. The principal conductors of the orchestra: Ernst von Dohnányi (1943), János Ferencsik (1945), Tibor Polgár (1945), László Somogyi (1951), György Lehel (1956). András Ligeti (1989). Since 1993 the Music Director and Principal Conductor of the Orchestra is Tamás Vásáry, the world-famous conductor and pianist. The list of first-class conductors performing with the orchestra is an endless one, containing names like Otto Klemperer, Carlo Zecchi, István Kertész, Aldo Ceccato, Peter Eötvös, Claudio Abbado, Lamberto Gardelli, Antal Doráti, Sir George Solti, Sir John Barbirolli, Leopold Stokowski and others. I dont know why gnani has shown his vayitherichal?? Mudiyiruppaval Kondai Podivaal!! Our Tamil cinema directors are going to an irreleven location in Europe for simple song number... but when Ilayaraja has choosen a right place these dogs are parking loudly!! What is the result... Chennai online writes... Another global celebrity who has singled out Ilayaraja's work is Oscar award winner, Stephen Schwartz, America's most celebrated opera play writer, who has written a letter to Fr Jaspar about 'Thiruvaasagam in Symphony': "Last night, at Sony studios in New York City, I had the pleasure of hearing the almost finished mix of Ilayaraaja's amazing work. It is unlike anything I've ever heard before, a stunning blend of Indian and western music and instruments. I asked Mr Raja if this was something different for him too, and he said he had never done anything like this piece before. I don't know if anyone has. So I believe those of you looking forward to this are in for a great treat"

6.Argument:Ar.Rehman has put his guitarists/musicians name in the cover but Ilyaraja never put AR.Rehman ( then Dilip) when he sequenced Punnagai Mannan Theme Song"

My words: In those days a troup of MSV or Ilayaraja some time used more than 10 violins etc. Their troups are big. But A.R.Rehman uses synthesisers extensively. So he can give the name of his Bassist and percussionist and Flautist name. Any common people can understand that. It is not a crime!! Now A.R.Rehman says very elative words about Raja... ( After Roja's success.. he once said that he never listened to Ilayaraja!!"). Egoism is part of creative artists! Not a big issue!

7.Argument: Ilayaraja has lost his place

My words: He never looses HIS place. His fort is melody and he is still a Raja there. He is still people like Kamal Hasan, Fazil, Thangar Patchan, Bala are backing him up in their stuuffed movies. He is the numero uno in rerecording! Only the movies that suited to him are rare!n His hit list includes 1999 - Friends , Anthapuram ( Telugu ) - National Award Winner, 2000 - Bharathi , Kannukul Nilavu , Kochu Kochu Santoshangal ( Malayalam ), Hey Ram, 2001 - Azhagi , Kasi, Pithamagan etc.. No doubt.. a lot of talents now. But he is not outdated.

8.Argument: He could have spent his own money

My words: Expect Charu printing and distributes his Zero Degree Novel for free ( by saving his Tasmac Bill!!) ... and Manirathnam is planing to spend his earning to make his next movie for free to all since they have earned a lot all these years!

Bharathi said,"Sendriduveer ettu thickum Kalai Selvangal Yaavum Konarnthingu Saerpeer!" Ilayarajaa went to the west and brought back some new things to us. Kalai Selvangal like Oratorio.

Listen to Suriyan FM or anyother Tamil Radios: People are asking for Nizhalkal and Mounaragam, Priya... every week in the evening times. How many people are asking Chinna Chinna Asai ! Ilayaraja's music has life! Not a fading star like a comet... he is a Dhuruva Natchatram.

Theiveega Raagam... thevitatha Paadal... Kaetaale Pothum... still ringing in my ears. Thanks Mr Raja.. for giving as some of the soul arresting moments through your music. Raja..we want your music not your money!!

These Konal Writers should keep their (foul) mouth shut for some more time!!

With Love

What I can do for the nation?

India! Leaving to Palani to see my mom. Will be back on Tuesday. My mobile connection has got disconnected... since I forgot to recharge it. Now all ok. Readers can contact me by 98650 53256. Writing some interesting topics for the Independence Day Week! Wishing you all a Happy I'day celebration.

What I can do for the nation? ( I am (in)famous for my simplicity always!!)

1. I can ride our two wheelers in the sides of the road so that we dont reduce the speed of the Heavy vehicles so that time and diesel ( hence Money and Forex ) can be saved!

2. Will switch of the lights in my home judicially so that our always loss making Electricity PSUs will reduce their loss!

3. Can take a walk everyday morning so that I can save some money on our Medicine Bills so that our money wont flow to the exploiting multinational drug companies ( Making 400% margin etc!!) for bulk generic drug by Branding!

4. Give one percent of my earnings to the poor citizens, mainly children struggling to buy their books etc. Dont go to form an association of NGO... Just do it ( Bhagwat Geeta Style!) on your own. Let our holy feet touch the nearby slum atleast once in a month.

5. Plant one tree once in a decade atleast in your vicinity. Making sure that it become a tree.. somehow! I have grown 5 trees to my credit!

6. Let the big things like national integration, river sharing, poverty elimination etc etc etc to the politicians who are making this nation a super power by 2020!!

7. Standing in any que patiently!

8. Not throwing the bus ticket or any paper in the middle or side of the Road!

9. Voting honestly to a simple candidate who is bit more honest than the rest!!

10. Not using abusive words against a fellow indian ... just because he ( You!) is responsible for a small road accident where two vehicles KISSED in a rare moment!

This is my recipie... I am not our president to make peple to think big... but I am a small criminal ( in his wordings!) who believes in small things and deeds!! We need a rocket loving president but the nation is struggling for neat pottable water too even after 50 years of freedom. Oh Poor Gandhi, you just gave as a simple Wheel ... you never bothered about the super power but the super problem of village hunger! Now we are sending rockets to give foodgrains to our rural peple who stand below some line always! "OH.. the Chella, a poor villager still"!.. you murmur?!

Fathers by Chance??!!

family LONDON (Reuters) - One in 25 fathers could unknowingly be raising another man's child, British scientists said on Thursday. Researchers at Liverpool's John Moores University examined the findings of dozens of studies, published over the past 54 years, on cases of paternal discrepancy -- where a man is proved not to be the biological father of his child. The studies, most of them peer reviewed, came from countries as varied as the United States, Finland, New Zealand, South Africa and Mexico.The findings of the studies varied dramatically -- some concluded that only one man in 100 is not the father of his child while others put the figure as high as 30 percent. The Liverpool researchers calculated the median figure at around 4 percent, suggesting that as many as one in 25 men worldwide is not the biological father of a child he believes to be his."The importance lies not so much in the figure itself but in the implications, given that as a society we are increasingly making our decisions on the basis of genetics," said one of the researchers, Professor Mark Bellis. "If, for example, someone knows that their father had a history of hereditary heart disease, they might be tempted to alter their own diet," he told Reuters."Obviously they need to be making that decision on the basis of accurate information about who their father really is." Bellis said that while mix-ups of semen during artificial insemination accounted for some cases of paternal discrepancy, the majority were due to a woman having sexual relationships outside marriage. He said in Britain, 20 percent of women in marriages or long-term relationships have had affairs, adding that the figures for other developed countries was similar. Around a third of pregnancies in Britain are unplanned, increasing the risk of paternal discrepancy. Writing in the British Medical Association's Journal of Epidemiology and Community Health, the scientists called for further research in the area. "(We) cannot simply ignore this difficult issue," they said. Indians may be bit more secure. See how the future shocks are coming and as OSHO said the FAMILY as a structure may vanish in the next century?! - Chella

Heroism should be banned in Films- Apeal to public

medium_iyarkai.jpgI am thinking a bit out of box right now. We are living in a democratic set up. What you will do when our family member kidnapped?... when your sister is teased... can you go straight to the person's home and hit him with a stick... more chance is that you will first go to the police station and lodge a complaint if you are a law abiding citizen of India. Any regular citizen will do that first before looking for alternatives.


But have you seen any hero does it in regular commercial or mainstream cinema? Every single so called hero takes the law in their hand and hitting the so called villains in front of the public. Is there any percentage of truth involved in it? Only the youths are emptying their pocket to see this mindless act of violence and exaggerations. How are we accepting it... and creating chief minister aspirants from this chunk of media exploiters. I can not blame them... only we must be choosy... how much we supported the good movies like Iyarkai ( though it is having a bit of stunt and dance sequence) released a few year before. On seeing that movie directed by one MR JanaNathan, I wrote that it is a great stuff... well a year before it got the best film award from the Government of India.


Dear viewer’s kindly think twice while going to a movie that shows mindless violence, and lawlessness! Will the future heroes give values to our law without tossing 20 people in to the air. Hope God didn’t create our commercial heroes with supernatural or super-constitutional powers! Any Public Interest Petition is possible to ban these movies or correct the hero to employ legal moves to tackle the villains !!?
