What kind of country is this. A man SAMRESH JUNG has won 5 golds for the country in shooting and adjudged as THE BEST SPORTS PERSON of the CWG 2006. But no headlines or photos in the Printmedia. Only Aiswarya Roy and Rani was given prominence. Is it the way to treat the hero of the game.. that too from our country. Shame on media. As a public we will make this unsung hero poular in our country. Forward this message to all friends in your contact.- Chella, Editor, www.kanal-pakkangal.com

Many of us would have gone to Isha Yoga center at Velliyangiri adivaram.. near Coimbatore...  popularly known as Dhyanalingam. I too went a few times for meditations. One of my friend came back after 7 days of Samyama.. so I know what is going on, a bit.

The issue is, they say, they are the worshipers of Vana Shree ( Forest God ). But what they do on the Maha Shivarathri is a NONSENSE! They litterally lit the area with a few thousand Lights and in the name of meditation or celebration they creat sounds of a few thousands watts... having no regard for the fauna/ animal life in that area located at the edge of the forest. Thousands of cars, and vehicles adds to the air pollution... and in the entire exercise you can see their double standards, having no regard for the natural serenity of the holy hill and forest.

Last year drums player Siva mani... worlds best/fastest !! ... but i dont know whether they are aware of people like Rick Allen,"Kenny" (or Kenney) Jones ..., came and blasted or added great noise to the otherwise silent, animals rich forest and this year Remo it seems. I dont blame these musicians... since I know Sivamani from his days at OSHO and Mr Remo has personally sent me a card in those Bombay city days!

If PSG institutions could not build their education institutions in Anaikatti forests... how come this Guru is allowed to convert acres of agri land very near to the forest to build halls, residential complex and guest houses.. by converting a rich natural jungle into brown colured concrete jungles ? I know the masks of the indian gurus very well... and aware of Mr Jaggis Chicken eating Tirupur days.. where he started his spiritual business... ( in those days he was reporting to Vinay & Dutta of Bangalore... in the name of an instructor of Sahajasthithi yoga ... originally their [Vinay & Dutta's idea] along with some friends. I came to know that Pankaj Raveendran is now in Madurai!!

I dont want to go deep into his personal issues but can he show some responsibility by bringing down those few thousand watts or noise pollution in the midnight at the EDGE of the natural forest?? If they dont... we can assume that planting trees at Velliyangiri and Removing bags at the foothills is nothing but a publicity stunt or an answer to their guilty consciousness !

Those who share my views can mail them at yogacentre@ishafoundation.org ... to stop THIS NONSENSE!

Shiva will be angry on REMO if he performed with a few thousands watts of light and sound at the edge of the forest at midnight !!

When I was searching for the R'day topics my web search lead me to many interesting subjects. One shock I got is on reading Godse's last official words ... Even the people who had gathered in court room were strongly felt for him.  The judge who convicted Nathuram was on record saying that had the public been the jury, Nathuram Godse would have been surely aquitted. -  Chella

" Born in a devotional Brahmin family, I instinctively came to revere Hindu religion, Hindu history and Hindu culture. I had, therefore, been intensely  proud of Hinduism as a whole. As I grew up I developed a tendency to free  thinking unfettered by any superstitious allegiance to any isms, political  or religious. That is why I worked actively for the eradication of  untouchability and the caste system based on birth alone. I openly joined  anti-caste movements and maintained that all Hindus were of equal status as  to rights, social and religious and should be considered high or low on merit  alone and not through the accident of birth in a particular caste or  profession. I used publicly to take part in organized anti-caste dinners  in which thousands of Hindus, Brahmins, Kshatriyas, Vaisyas, Chamars  and Bhangis participated. We broke the caste rules and dined in the  company of each other.

 I have read the speeches and writings of Dadabhai Naoroji, Vivekanand,  Gokhale, Tilak, along with the books of ancient and modern history of  India and some prominent countries like England, France, America and'  Russia. Moreover I studied the tenets of Socialism and Marxism. But above  all I studied very closely whatever Veer Savarkar and Gandhiji had written  and spoken, as to my mind these two ideologies have contributed more to  the moulding of the thought and action of the Indian people during the last  thirty years or so, than any other single factor has done.

 All this reading and thinking led me to believe it was my first duty to  serve Hindudom and Hindus both as a patriot and as a world citizen.  To secure the freedom and to safeguard the just interests of some thirty  crores (300 million) of Hindus would automatically constitute the freedom  and the well-being of all India, one fifth of human race. This conviction  led me naturally to devote myself to the Hindu Sanghtanist ideology  and programme, which alone, I came to believe, could win and preserve  the national independence of Hindustan, my Motherland, and enable her to
 render true service to humanity as well.

 Since the year 1920, that is, after the demise of Lokamanya Tilak,  Gandhiji's influence in the Congress first increased and then became  supreme. His activities for public awakening were phenomenal in their  intensity and were reinforced by the slogan of truth and non-violence  which he paraded ostentatiously before the country. No sensible or  enlightened person could object to those slogans. In fact there is nothing  new or original in them. They are implicit in every constitutional  public movement. But it is nothing but a mere dream if you imagine  that the bulk of mankind is, or can ever become, capable of scrupulous  adherence to these lofty principles in its normal life from day to day.  In fact, hunour, duty and love of one's own kith and kin and country might  often compel us to disregard non-violence and to use force. I could never  conceive that an armed resistance to an aggression is unjust. I would
 consider it a religious and moral duty to resist and, if possible, to  overpower such an enemy by use of force. [In the Ramayana] Rama killed  Ravana in a tumultuous fight and relieved Sita. [In the Mahabharata],  Krishna killed Kansa to end his wickedness; and Arjuna had to fight  and slay quite a number of his friends and relations including the
 revered Bhishma because the latter was on the side of the aggressor.  It is my firm belief that in dubbing Rama, Krishna and Arjuna as guilty  of violence, the Mahatma betrayed a total ignorance of the springs of  human action.

 In more recent history, it was the heroic fight put up by Chhatrapati  Shivaji that first checked and eventually destroyed the Muslim tyranny  in India. It was absolutely essentially for Shivaji to overpower and kill an aggressive Afzal Khan, failing which he would have lost his own life. In condemning history's towering warriors like Shivaji, Rana Pratap and Guru Gobind Singh as misguided patriots, Gandhiji has merely exposed his self-conceit. He was, paradoxical as it may appear, a violent pacifist who brought untold calamities on the country in the name of truth and
 non-violence, while Rana Pratap, Shivaji and the Guru will remain enshrined in the hearts of their countrymen for ever for the freedom they brought to them.

 The accumulating provocation of thirty-two years, culminating in his last pro-Muslim fast, at last goaded me to the conclusion that the existence of Gandhi should be brought to an end immediately. Gandhi had done very good in South Africa to uphold the rights and well-being of the Indian community there. But when he finally returned to India he developed a subjective mentality under which he alone was to be the final judge of what was right or wrong. If the country wanted his leadership, it had to accept his infallibility; if it did not, he would stand aloof from the Congress and carry on his own way. Against such an attitude there can be no halfway house. Either Congress had to surrender its will to his and had to be content with playing second fiddle to all his eccentricity, whimsicality, metaphysics and primitive vision, or it had to carry on without him. He alone was the Judge of everyone and every thing; he was
 the master brain guiding the civil disobedience movement; no other could know the technique of that movement. He alone knew when to begin and when to withdraw it. The movement might succeed or fail, it might bring untold disaster and political reverses but that could make no difference to the Mahatma's infallibility. 'A Satyagrahi can never fail'
 was his formula for declaring his own infallibility and nobody except himself knew what a Satyagrahi is.

 Thus, the Mahatma became the judge and jury in his own cause. These childish insanities and obstinacies, coupled with a most severe austerity of life, ceaseless work and lofty character made Gandhi formidable and irresistible. Many people thought that his politics were irrational but they had either to withdraw from the Congress or place their
 intelligence at his feet to do with as he liked. In a position of such absolute irresponsibility Gandhi was guilty of blunder after blunder, failure after failure, disaster after disaster.

 Gandhi's pro-Muslim policy is blatantly in his perverse attitude on the question of the national language of India. It is quite obvious that Hindi has the most prior claim to be accepted as the premier language. In the beginning of his career in India, Gandhi gave a great impetus to Hindi but as he found that the Muslims did not like it, he became a champion of what is called Hindustani. Everybody in India knows that there is no language called Hindustani; it has no grammar; it has no vocabulary. It is a mere dialect, it is spoken, but not written. It is a bastard tongue and cross-breed between Hindi and Urdu, and not even the Mahatma's sophistry could make it popular. But in his
 desire to please the Muslims he insisted that Hindustani alone should be the national language of India. His blind followers, of course,  supported him and the so-called hybrid language began to be used. The charm and purity of the Hindi language was to be prostituted to please the Muslims. All his experiments were at the expense of the Hindus.

 From August 1946 onwards the private armies of the Muslim League began a massacre of the Hindus. The then Viceroy, Lord Wavell, though distressed at what was happening, would not use his powers under the Government of India Act of 1935 to prevent the rape, murder and arson. The Hindu blood began to flow from Bengal to Karachi with some retaliation by the Hindus. The Interim Government formed in September was sabotaged by its Muslim League members right from its inception, but the more they became disloyal and treasonable to the government of which they were a part, the greater was Gandhi's infatuation for them. Lord Wavell had to resign as he could not bring about a settlement and he was succeeded by Lord Mountbatten. King Log was followed by King Stork.  The Congress which had boasted of its nationalism and socialism secretly accepted Pakistan literally at the point of the bayonet and
 abjectly surrendered to Jinnah. India was vivisected and one-third of  the Indian territory became foreign land to us from August 15, 1947. Lord Mountbatten came to be described in Congress circles as the greatest Viceroy and Governor-General this country ever had. The official date for handing over power was fixed for June 30, 1948, but
 Mountbatten with his ruthless surgery gave us a gift of vivisected India ten months in advance. This is what Gandhi had achieved after thirty years of undisputed dictatorship and this is what Congress party calls 'freedom' and 'peaceful transfer of power'. The Hindu-Muslim unity bubble was finally burst and a theocratic state was established
 with the consent of Nehru and his crowd and they have called 'freedom won by them with sacrifice' - whose sacrifice? When top leaders of Congress, with the consent of Gandhi, divided and tore the country - which we consider a deity of worship - my mind was filled with direful anger.

 One of the conditions imposed by Gandhi for his breaking of the fast unto death related to the mosques in Delhi occupied by the Hindu refugees. But when Hindus in Pakistan were subjected to violent attacks he did not so much as utter a single word to protest and censure the Pakistan Government or the Muslims concerned. Gandhi was shrewd enough to know that while undertaking a fast unto death, had he imposed for its break some condition on the Muslims in Pakistan, there would have been found hardly any Muslims who could have shown some grief if the fast had ended in his death. It was for this reason that he purposely avoided imposing any condition on the Muslims. He was fully aware of from the experience that Jinnah was not at all perturbed or influenced by his fast and the Muslim League hardly attached any value to the inner voice of Gandhi.

 Gandhi is being referred to as the Father of the Nation. But if that is so, he had failed his paternal duty inasmuch as he has acted very  treacherously to the nation by his consenting to the partitioning of it. I stoutly maintain that Gandhi has failed in his duty. He has proved to be the Father of Pakistan. His inner-voice, his spiritual power and his doctrine of non-violence of which so much is made of, all crumbled before Jinnah's iron will and proved to be powerless.

 Briefly speaking, I thought to myself and foresaw I shall be totally ruined, and the only thing I could expect from the people would be nothing but hatred and that I shall have lost all my honour, even more valuable than my life, if I were to kill Gandhiji. But at the same time I felt that the Indian politics in the absence of Gandhiji would surely be proved practical, able to retaliate, and would be powerful with armed forces. No doubt, my own future would be totally ruined, but the nation would be saved from the inroads of Pakistan. People may even call me and dub me as devoid of any sense or foolish, but the nation would be free to follow the course founded on the reason which I consider to be necessary for sound nation-building. After having fully considered the question, I took the final decision in the matter, but I did not speak about it to anyone whatsoever. I took courage in both my hands and I did fire the shots at Gandhiji on 30th January 1948, on the prayer-grounds of Birla House.  

 I do say that my shots were fired at the person whose policy and action had brought rack and ruin and destruction to millions of Hindus. There was no legal machinery by which such an offender could be brought to book and for this reason I fired those fatal shots.  I bear no ill will towards anyone individually but I do say that I had no respect for the present government owing to their policy which was unfairly favourable towards the Muslims. But at the same time I could clearly see that the policy was entirely due to the presence of Gandhi. I have to say with great regret that Prime Minister Nehru quite forgets that his preachings and deeds are at times at variances with each other when he talks about India as a secular state in season and out of season, because it is significant to note that Nehru has played a
 leading role in the establishment of the theocratic state of Pakistan, and his job was made easier by Gandhi's persistent policy of appeasement towards the Muslims.  

 I now stand before the court to accept the full share of my responsibility for what I have done and the judge would, of course, pass against me such orders of sentence as may be considered proper. But I would like to add that I do not desire any mercy to be shown to me, nor do I wish that anyone else should beg for mercy on my behalf. My confidence about the moral side of my action has not been shaken even by the criticism levelled against it on all sides. I have no doubt that honest writers of history will weigh my act and find the true value thereof some day
 in future. "

Kanimozhi, a young poet (you know her father?!) gave a fitting reply to many... in thozhi.com.

நடுப்பக்கத்து நாயகிகளையும் கிசுகிசுக்களையும் கொச்சையான ஆபாசச் செய்திகளையும் திரைப்படங்களையும் பெரிதும் நம்பிப் பிழைப்பு நடத்தும் பெரும்பாலான பத்திரிகைகளும் தொலைக்காட்சிகளும் அவ்வப்போது பொது ஒழுக்கத்தை (முக்கியமாகத் தமிழ்ப் பெண்களின் ஒழுக்கத்தை) காப்பாற்றத் தடாலடி நடவடிக்கைகளில் இறங்குவது வேடிக்கை.

சமீபத்தில் 'இந்தியா டுடே' பத்திரிகை நடத்திய ஒரு கருத்துக் கணிப்பில் நடிகை குஷ்பு சொன்ன கருத்துகளுக்கு எதிராக ஒரு இயக்கமே நடந்தது. எல்லாவற்றையும் விடக் கொடுமை என்னவென்றால், குஷ்புவை விமர்சித்த ஒரு பெண், 'குஷ்புவே சொல்லிவிட்டார், நாம் கெட்டுப்போனால் என்ன என்று நினைத்து இளம் தமிழ்ப் பெண்கள் கெட்டுப்போய்விடுவார்கள்' என்று கூறியதுதான்.

குஷ்புவுக்குக் கோயில் கட்டியதுபோய், இப்போது அவரை நாம் திருவள்ளுவர், பெரியார், ஜிட்டு கிருஷ்ணமூர்த்தி அளவுக்கு உயர்த்தியிருப்பதுதான் சுவாரஸ்யம். பல பத்திரிகைகளும் ஊடகங்களும் ரீட்டாவை விட இதற்கு அதிகமுக்கியத்துவம் கொடுத்துக் கர்ஜித்தன.

இத்தனை நாள் பாலியல் வன்முறைகள், வரதட்சிணை எரிப்புகள், சிசு வதை என்று பல பெண்களின் பிரச்சினைகளின் ஊடே ஆழ்ந்த நித்திரையில் இருந்த சில அமைப்புகள் இப்போது கையில் துடைப்பம், செருப்பு சகிதம் பொங்கி எழுந்திருக்கின்றன.

திருமாவளவனின் எத்தனையோ முக்கியமான போராட்டங்களைக் கண்டுகொள்ளாத ஊடகங்கள் இப்போது போட்டி போட்டு அவரை முக்கியத்துவப்படுத்துகின்றன. 'கற்பு என்பதே ஒரு இந்துத்துவக் கருத்து' என்ற அவரது கருத்து எப்போது மாறியது என்பதும் தெரியவில்லை.

ஒழுக்கம் என்பது ஒரு புதிய வியாபார உத்தி என்பதைப் புரிந்துகொண்ட இன்னொரு பத்திரிகை, சென்னையில் உள்ள ஒரு ஐந்து நட்சத்திர ஓட்டலில் புகுந்து அங்கு நடந்த ஒரு பார்ட்டியில் மது அருந்திக்கொண்டும் நடனம் ஆடிக்கொண்டும் இருந்த பெண்களைப் படம்பிடித்துப் போட்டு சமத்துவம் என்பது இதுதானா என்று கேள்வி கேட்டிருக்கிறது.

மேற்கத்திய உடையணிந்த, மது அருந்தும், புகைபிடிக்கும் பெண்கள் எல்லோருக்கும் பெண் விடுதலை பற்றிய பிரக்ஞை இருக்கும் என்பதுகூட ஒரு குறைக் கண்ணோட்டம்தான். பெண்ணியத்தைக் கட்டுடைக்கும் முயற்சிதான். குடிப்பது தவறு என்று கூறும் காந்தியவாதிகளாக இவர்கள் மாறிவிட்டார்கள் என்றால், அருகில் நிற்கும் ஆண்களின் மீது இவர்களது ஒழுக்கக் கரிசனப் பார்வை ஏன் விழவில்லை?

உடைக் கட்டுப்பாடுகள் பற்றிய கட்டுரைகள் எழுதப்படும்போதும் அதில் அடிச் சரடாய் அந்தக் கட்டுப்பாடுகளுக்கு ஒரு ஆதரவுக் குரல் தொனிப்பதைக் காண முடிகிறது.

இவர்கள் வெளியிடும் கருத்துக்களில் இவர்களுக்கு உண்மையிலேயே உடன்பாடு உள்ளதா? உள்ளது என்றால் இவர்கள் வெளியிடும் பல படங்களில், செய்திகளில் இவர்கள் பாதுகாக்கப் பாடுபடும் பண்பாடு உடைபடுவதை அறியாதவர்களா இவர்கள்? அல்லது இவர்கள் நடத்துவது வெறும் 'பல்பொருள் அங்காடிகள்'தானா?

உலகச் செய்திகள், விளையாட்டுச் செய்திகள், கவர்ச்சி, கிளுகிளுப்பு, கற்பு எல்லாம் கிடைக்கும். உனக்கு எது வேண்டுமோ அதை எடுத்துக்கொள் என்பதுதான் இவர்களின் அடிப்படைத் தத்துவமா?

What to do dress and what not to dress in the colleges / universities? Madras university dress code created a flutter among youths. My colleague Senthil says he dont like the code at all and the youth should have the freedom to dress whatever they want!

There are two things. I am forward thinking guy as usual. but here I accept the views and against the students. I know my friends from SFI ( A leftist movement ) are collecting signatures. But my view is No one has the right to ask you to wear one kind of dress in public but within the institution there must be some codes. I am more attracted by hips and deffinitely low hip jean with a tight top turns me ON always. They say it is in the eyes of the viewer! Ok you blame my eyes! But when every eye is looking so.. then you have to adjust!! If a woman/man is standing naked on the street will people blame only their eyes... or will they book him/her under law!? So I simplify the issue in my own style!

Why the youths are going to college after all? To study.. to play... to learn.. they can show their exibitionism outside the campus. I wish strict uniform culture within the campus. You have to dress for those five/six hours in an uniform way. After coming out of the class you change to your own styling! Who can ask you. Many can think I am giving a conservative opinion. No. I am seeing the realities.... many girls on seeing another gal's "daily new costume" are falling in to flesh trade while in the colleges. So let us not make our colleges as ramp shows!

Those who protest in the name of leftism must understand that this dress freedom is indirectly supporting mindless consumerism.... promoted by multinational brands and labelism! In India still few millions are without dresses. Let the media concentrate its resources to give them the basic right before protecting high society's prefferencialism! We are not supporting ideas of what to WEAR? like a taliban. We are simply saying what not to wear. After all if I am not turned on by navel still I will be... hundred percent... by the part a few inch below that!! Some crazy designer may come out with that option too and you should not blame ME for not controlling my eyes!

Imagine I am introducing my friends to you saying," Hi... Meet ms Maggie-Heinen and Kimberly N Cameron ( in the pics) . . . my benchmates" Will you honestly say where will you see?.. though it is a college and not a beach!? Blame our eyes!!

“Chastity symbolizes slavery of women and makes her anybody’s chattel,” is said by Periyar! But these grand sons & Tamil Media personalities are acting funny on Actress Kushboo's remarks and it is shame that many so called Tamil Lovers from the Periyar Tamil Movements are up in the arms. Even Bharathi doesnt like the partiality and said " Chastity should be for both men and women !". If that is the arguement then half of the males are proclaimed unchasty rascals! Soon what Kushboo said will be a reality and what they are going to do is to be seen. May be now they protest... then discuss... then they may accept the reality. This is my bold view. Let us wait and see.

He got the best timing it seems! Tamil Cinema is the breeding ground of Politicians/ chief ministers for more than a few decades. Anna ( Actor, Play writer) started this wave and Kalaingar Karunanithi, MGR & Jayalalitha are holding that momentum intact. Even people of Kerala used to joke ," You people are choosing your Chiefministers not in the election but in the theatre itself". Sivaji failed... and T Rajendar failed... and now Vijayakanth is testing the waters.

I am watching him from the days of Sivappu Malli ( Erimalai Eppadi Porukkum Song!! ) when he portrayed a revolutionary angry young man. He has grown upto become a Captain ( after his role in Captain Prabhakaran ). He is called as Puratchik Kalaingar ! I really dont know why people are calling usual actors as Puratchithamilan, kalaingar etc. Mr Sathyaraj openly told that, " What Puratchi/revolution we have done? I dont know ! We acted in films and we are payed for that!". So let us see whether there is any real stuff coming out of his effort... in the coming days. India is ruled by a scientific President and a financial Prime minister... but Tamilnadu state... will never have one intelectual ruler in near future it seems !? - Chella

Today'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??

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
