India Day 2005 is planned to be celeberated on Aug 15th in Michigan at Novi Expo Center. It is such a big event that last year, there were around 15,000 people who thronged there.
It is such a nice opportunity to promote TbI. I am positive that we can move as many as 200 easily. But, unfortunately, due to certain personal committments, I am not available that week in Michigan.
Anyone in Michigan willing to volunteer? Pls. PM me at mohanjraman@gmail.com
emjay, as you may be aware, Novi & the surrounding area has a strong Telugu speaking community and marketing this (predominantly) as a WCM work by Raja will help...
A couple of months back I was seeing some Raja related photos on indiaglitz while at work...and our tech lead (a Telugu lady) who came to my seat remarked to another Indian (an Assamese) that this man is the great music composer from south...I think a lot of Telugu speaking people feel the same way & probably you can move bigger volumes if you target them (as they say, music has no language barriers)...
app_engine,
Absolutely. This is a terrific opportunity. Unfortunately, my personal plans are coming in its way. Don't want to let this loose. Lets see if anyone from MI can volunteer this effort.
The booth costs $150 but, if we share with someone, we can even get to $75.
Please listen to this plea and if you really want to do something for this great album, then please make one more person buy this album or you may buy one as a gift for your kith and kin. We need to sell another 3000 CD's to make it even with our loans and hope you will act now.
I am confident that it will eventullay sell out but you all can hasten it by coing to our help now1
Thanks
YIA!!

Folks, if you are in the SF Bay Area, please pick up a free copy of the thenRal magazine Aug issue. Manivannan (of Bay Area Tamil Sangam) has devoted a very large part of the magazine to the coverage of TIO, with IR on the cover and interviews with Father. Very interesting read. If you know Manivannan, please send him an email appreciating this.
BTW, please bring up TIO in email/telephone and personal conversations with people. This will spread awareness of the album.
My sincere thanks to Mr. Manivannan for boldly bringing out the role of the US NRI's which has not so far been PROPERLY recognized even by IIR!
Please read the article on 'america thamizhargaLin pangu' and I am ever grateful to him for this!!
Pl. encourage your friends and family to read this article and also help us by buying more copies of this CD!

"Madhan,
I've been extremely busy this past few weeks but have been able to listen to the CDs in the car. Thank you for sending them - it's always good to discover new composers and I enjoyed the CDs though perhaps not appreciating the cultural significance of some works.
The mfiles site has a strong emphasis on film music and I note that Raja has written music for 100s of films. I am therefore thinking of adding him to the mfiles film composer section.

mfiles website is a major attraction for music agents all over the world and Mr.Jim Paterson will also feature a detailed description of TiS, HTNI and NBW in his website!
Efforts are on other fronts as well - keep your fingers crossed buddies!!
PS: TiS outcome is becoming as thrilling and fascinating as the current Ashes series (Eng and Aus) - Shane Warne's rippers filled six-for followed by a Bothamesque show by Flintoff!!
Review of Polla Vinayen by a carnatic musician/music composer (name removed for identity reason). I met him in a store where he was looking for TIS CD and found out that he compose his own (fusion) music and release CDs. I asked him what kinda music he likes and not so surprisingly, he said he is Raja fan. Anyway coming to the review
*****************************
The main piece of this album "Poyyavinaiyen" is a
brilliant piece of work. As a composition, a great
attempt has been made to mix Tamil and English vocals
in an opera style symphony. The song opens with an
orchestration resembling "Kanna Varuvaya" from the
film "Manadhil Urudhi Vendum". For those familiar with
Raaja's work in film music, a lot of these
orchestrations in various Indian Raagas have been
brilliantly set to reach the common man.
This treat is especially for the connoisseur of music,
especially those who can appreciate music as a
manifestation of divine energy.
The lyrics discusses the evolution of mankind and the
eventual merging of the individual soul with the
supreme. The music traces these soul evolution and
culminates in a crescendo set to ragam "Hamsanandhi"
with the finale of the "OM". Raaja has cleverly
handled a soothing tune for "Namashivaya Vazhga" in
Kalyani ragam very much like a silence after a storm.
Towards the end of the work, the choice of Ragam -
Shanmugapriya for the verses praising Lord Shiva is
very apt.
The violins galloping in various places is typical of
a symphony and is very well written for the various
carnatic ragams used.
The album is bound to kindle lot of interest in
Manickavaasagar's songs.

njv,
Why is your review so unbelievable; first you don't want to reveal the person's name. Very strange, what is so secretive about reviewing TiS. Secondly you met him while he was looking for the CD and yet you managed to get such insightful review from him, is it on the spot or what???!!!
If you want to make it authentic you don't have to play such scams.
TISK,
also please stop urging us to buy one more CD. We have all done our part and finally I have bought my own original CD from Singapore. Even though my whole campus TLS members were waiting to buy the original, you folks were simply sitting on it and did not even bother to get it supplied to our distributors on time. Some of us got so sick of your incompetencies, that including myself we downloaded our TiS from the web. Don't blame us!!! I finally got mine when my uncle returned from Chennai and I asked him to get me a copy on the way. He could not get the complete set as I wanted. He could only get the audio without the video!!!Not my fault again. You people promised so much and then did such a sloppy job in marketing and promoting the product. At least you could have got the CDs to the main distributors in time......but no I have been observing you all basically "kundu sattikulla kuthure ottigal" mathiri basically doing a cheap and unreliable MLM scheme of marketing and that too all for free!!! Please you could have made this a blockbuster, for the amount of free publicity that you have got from all media forms for free also. Yet without showing any figures of actual sales done so far , you are still asking the same old folks to buy more. Where is the logic and fairness in this please tell me.
